If I Were a Cocktail

...I think I would be the Southern Exposure at Alembic. Gin, fresh mint (they have a backyard garden, of course), bit of sugar, lime juice...and a shot of celery juice. If that sounds weird to you, well, I suggest you get on down to Haight Street and try it for yourself. Refreshing, yes. Easy to guzzle, yes. Smells as good as summertime? Yes, indeedy. Add to that a cool atmo, clever drink descriptions, food (my pal tried the pork belly and polished it off) and cloth towels in the restroom instead of paper and...Sigh. Make me a cocktail.
