Last Caress, Alembic

Alembic is one of my favorite bars in the Haight Ashbury neighborhood of San Francisco. They recently updated the New School section of their cocktail menu with some new Fall libations. From the new school menu.last time I was there, they were out of the ingredients for this cocktail, so I was asked before I ordered it. So glad they had all of the ingredients available today. When served in this stylish glass, it looks like a petite Irish Coffee. Boy that limoncello really puckers your lips and the blue bottle tincture adds a bold coffee jolt of flavor. The pillowy topping of pistachio creams tops off this unique cocktail. My thoughts as I was sipping this delicious cocktail, beware who may give you the last caress of the evening with too many of these.

Alembic is always creative with their menu. Here's the cocktail as described on their menu, "Yeah I got something to say, but that can wait. First, try a little housemade limoncello with sweet vermouth and a touch of blue bottle coffee tincture topped with a bit of pistachio infused cream. Then we'll talk."

7x7 magazine recently listed this cocktail as one to try this Autumn.
