Cotogna is an Italian restaurant located just off Jackson Square in San Francisco. It's one of my go to places for drinks and food. The food, the drinks, the service is always stellar. Since I hadn't been there in a while, I was excited to see some new cocktails on the menu. So I had to order the Crystal Beach. When it arrived, we were surprised that it was beautifully garnished with purple basil. I was expecting the normal green basil since the menu only specified basil. I just love being surprised with not only the presentation but with flavor. The Crystal Beach swept me away from the doldroms' of a foggy cold San Francisco summer with the pop of ginger, the flavorful rye and the contrasting colors of the cocktail with the purple basil.
