St. Elmo's Fire at Trick Dog in San Francisco


If you order Trick Dog's St. Elmo's Fire cocktail because you think it's a pina colada with the rum, pineapple and coconut, you're in for a surprise. Just like the weather phenomena, St. Elmo's Fire, this cocktail packs a twist. I enjoyed the bold flavor of this drink and the added texture from the coconut garnish. What's the twist, it's not coconut, it's coconut vinegar. I love how many cocktail establishments have embraced the vinegar/shrub trend. The added acidity from the vinegar is a welcome balance to sweet ingredients. I never watched the 80's film St. Elmo's Fire. But I do remember the song. In fact when I ordered it, I only remembered the chorus. A few of these, you'll be looking up the song on youtube or some other channel so you can sing along.
