On a recent visit to the new Divisadero Bi-Rite, we couldn't help but notice a little caricature of Maven's bar manager Kate Bolton staring at us from above a pile of lemons. It turns out one of Bolton's creations is being featured as Bi-Rite's cocktail of the month.
It's called the Swedish Cup, and it sounds especially refreshing on what's shaping up to be the hottest day of the year so far. Here's Bolton's recipe: 1 oz. St. George Botanivore gin 1 oz. Kronan Swedish Punsch .75 oz. fresh lemon juice 2 oz. Fever Tree ginger beer 2 dash angostura bitters Pinch of mint Pinch of tarragon "Shake all ingredients with ice with the exception of ginger beer. Fine strain into a collins glass with ice and top with ginger beer. Garnish with a sprig of tarragon." If you want to try making it yourself, Bi-Rite carries all the ingredients you'll need. Or you can just head to Maven and order one from the pros. Keep cool out there, readers.
