Mayan Sidecar, Nopalito

Nopalito in the Western Addition neighborhood of San Francisco serves traditional homestyle Mexican cuisine. I was instantly intrigued with the Mayan Sidecar with the Xtabentun ingredient. Luckily with smartphones, I didn't need to wait until the server came by to find out more. Xtabentun is an anise flavored liqueur with fermented honey from the Xtabentun flower. I absolutely loved sipping this licorice flavored soothing libation.

Mezcal Paloma, Nopalito

Nopalito in the Western Addition neighborhood of San Francisco serves traditional homestyle Mexican cuisine. The Mezcal Paloma is a twist on the tequila based Paloma cocktail. As described in the menu de cokteles, the Mezcal Paloma is served tall, smoky and is honest. With el Maguey Vida, grapefruit, soda and Cynar (an artichoke based bitter), the Mezcal Paloma is all  about the smoky mezcal and the grapefruit. What you read in the menu is what you get! Honesty at it's best!
