History

The San Francisco co*cktail is a refreshing, fruity concoction that's perfect for those who enjoy a sweet, sparkling drink. It's a relatively modern co*cktail, gaining popularity in the 21st century. It's a hit among those who prefer their co*cktails on the sweeter side, with a touch of fizz. The addition of the shimmer dust gives it a unique, glittering appearance that's sure to impress at parties.

How San Francisco Tastes?

The San Francisco co*cktail is sweet, fruity, and slightly fizzy. The vanilla vodka adds a creamy, smooth undertone, while the Kinky Liqueur brings a burst of tropical fruit flavors. The Sprite or 7 UP adds a refreshing fizz, and the shimmer dust gives it a magical, glittering appearance.

Interesting facts about San Francisco

  • The San Francisco co*cktail is named after the city of San Francisco, known for its vibrant nightlife and co*cktail culture.
  • The shimmer dust used in this co*cktail is also used in cake decorating, giving the drink a unique, glittering appearance.
  • The Kinky Liqueur used in this co*cktail is a fusion of super premium vodka distilled 5 times with succulent mango, blood orange liqueur, and passion fruit.

Ingredients

  • Kinky liqueur: 1
  • Vanilla vodka: 1
  • Sprite or 7 up: 4
  • Cherries or mint for garnish:
  • Silver shimmer dust for cakes: 0.5

Kinky Liqueur

Kinky Liqueur is a vibrant pink liqueur with flavors of mango, blood orange, and passion fruit. It brings a fruity punch to our San Francisco co*cktail, adding both color and an exotic twist. Without it, you'd lose a layer of fruity complexity - imagine a skyline without the Golden Gate, not quite the same, right?

Emma Rose

Vanilla Vodka

The smooth, sweet essence of vanilla vodka complements the fruitiness of Kinky Liqueur. It's like the cable cars to our hills - one without the other just doesn't feel complete. If omitted, the co*cktail would lose its creamy depth.

Alex Green

Sprite or 7 UP

A fizzy companion like Sprite or 7 UP adds effervescence and a citrus hint, lightening up the drink like a foggy day meeting the San Francisco sun. Swap it out for ginger ale if you're craving more zing, but that would definitely take it in a spicier direction.

Mary Mitkina

Cherries or Mint for garnish

A garnish adds the final touch - like a jazz tune to a bustling street. Cherries add a touch of sweetness, while mint brings freshness. Both create an appealing look and aroma - it's like dressing to impress.

Emma Rose

Silver Shimmer Dust for cakes

This gives our co*cktail the signature 'Frisco flair - it's the sparkle of the city in a glass. Skipping the shimmer is like missing out on the city lights at night; sure, you'd still enjoy it, but with less pizzazz.
