Soju, ginger syrup, lime juice and fresh muddled mint. $7
900 Grayson, Berkeley CA
Ugh, this was way too tart for my taste! I’ve enjoyed soju cocktails in the past but this wasn’t one of my favorites. It looked very pretty though.
French sparkling wine and pomegranate juice. $7
900 Grayson, Berkeley CA
A nice twist on a regular mimosa. The pomegranate juice was a delicious substitution!

San Francisco themed mural, 21st Street.
Vodka with soda and a splash of cranberry juice.
Lone Palm, San Francisco CA
This place has got to be one of the most random neighborhood bars I’ve ever been to, and that’s a good thing! There’s a single palm tree in front of it, and the interior is decorated in a cheesy (awesome) art deco style. Seems like a perfect bar to me!
Vacant Market liquor store, 17th Street. I was walking down to the Castro Muni Station one morning and thought the lighting with the fog looked cool.
I had to look this up, but a bellini is traditionally made with white peaches (pureed and strained) and sparkling wine (prosecco because of its Italian origin). This is different from mimosas that use citrus (usually orange juice) and champagne (because of its French origin) with or without Grand Marnier to accentuate the citrus flavors. Geez, I love the internet! 🙂 $9
Universal Cafe, San Francisco CA
Pink bougainvillea flowers (Nyctaginaceae) and lion statue, Church Street.
Sunday bloody caesar cocktail – House-made clamato, fresh lime, Worcestershire and house-infused jalapeno vodka, flavorful yet lighter than the cousin Mary! $10
Foreign Cinema, San Francisco CA
Persian bloody mary – An exotic blend of lime, south Indian curry, sumac, and sherry vinegar and vodka. $10
I really enjoyed both of these bloody mary’s. The first one definitely had more of the traditional flavors and the Persian one took a few sips to get into, but I really enjoy its inventive flavor combination for a bloody mary. The sumac salt was also really pretty and the pickled fennel was a great addition.

I’m a sucker for tequila and salt, lol! Happy hour $4

Whenever we go here, we always seem to sit in the outdoor patio area. Gotta love the misters! 🙂

It’s the weekend! And what a great way to ring it with a delicious mimosa. Have fun and be safe everyone.
The misters are going strong at Jake’s! It feels SO good on a warm, sunny morning.
