Two Sisters Bar and Books is located in the Hayes Valley neighborhood of San Francisco. I love how they have transformed this space, which formerly housed Frjtz into a welcoming den of cocktails, small dishes and books. Although they don't have an extensive cocktail menu, each cocktail that I've had there is exquisitely prepared. On this visit, I ordered Spring's Arrow. I absolutely loved the watermelon jolly rancher color of this drink. But don't be deceived into thinking that because of the color, this is a sweet drink. This cocktail is peppery, delicately sweet, sour and pretty all at once. It's lip smacking good!
What's a strawberry shrub? No, it's not a strawberry bush. It's a vinegar based syrup that is reduced with water, sugar and a fruit. Back in the day (Colonial times), shrubs were used to preserve fruit so they could be used for drinks in the summertime. I'm glad to see shrubs on more cocktail menus.
On all my visits, Two Sisters far exceeded their mission, which per their website "is to create a space that nourishes and feeds our community and ourselves – a space where neighbors and strangers alike feel like family."
