Reed and Greenough is a snazzy cocktail lounge located in the Marina neighborhood of San Francisco. Since 7x7 announced their Toast to Ambition Cocktail Contest with Russian Standard Vodka, I've been trying to find time to taste of all the seven cocktails on the list. I've loved all the cocktails on my various visits to Reed and Greenough. When I read their entry for the contest, the Southern Gentleman, the watermelon, rhubarb bitters and liquid smoke ingredients immediately caught my eye. As with any expectation you would have regarding a Southern gentleman and in general Southern hospitality, this Southern Gentleman did not disappoint. Upon it's arrival it greets you with the typical Southern hospitality, flirts with you with the color and has a distinctive flavor. Beware, this Southern Gentleman could have you talking with a Southern drawl if you have one too many.
With the voting deadline on July 20th, I hope I have time to squeeze in the 3 remaining drinks on the list (The Brixton, Trace and Park Tavern). Head on over the following link to get more information and recipes of all the places and cocktails for this contest, http://www.7x7.com/recipes/southern-gentleman-cocktail-6-russian-standard-vodkas-toast-ambition-contest.
Reed and Greenough also has a great daily happy hour from 5pm-7pm with half price wines. On Oyster Tuesdays, they have oysters for $15 per dozen or $9 per half dozen during happy hour. A bonus, if you check in with Facebook or Foursquare on Oyster Tuesdays, they will give you two oysters for free.
