Golden Gate Cocktail, Presidio Social Club

The Presidio Social Club is located in the Presidio National Park in San Francisco. This classy restaurant was originally military barracks back when the Presidio was a military base. The Presidio's Libations menu is categorized by Barrel Aged and PSC classics. I actually chose a cocktail not on the Libations menu, but on the food menu. The Golden Gate Cocktail is a tribute to the Golden Gate Bridge which celebrates it's 75th anniversary today. It's a delicious concoction of white rum, gin, falernum, lemon, creme de cacao and topped with high proof rum.

Happy 75th Golden Gate Bridge!

Gunpowder, Presidio Social Club

Since Presidio Social Club is celebrating 5 years today, we thought we'd feature one of their drinks today:  The Gunpowder.  This cocktail, served up, is made with gin, lime, cane syrup and a dash of cayenne.  This drink gets spicier as you let the cayenne soak into the well balanced cocktail.  During their birthday celebration (and Dine About Town), this drink is $5.  Happy 5th Birthday to Presidio Social Club!

Anejo Sour

Today's lunch at the Presidio Social Club in the Presidio National Park in San Francisco was all about surprises.  On this sunny Fall day in the Presidio National Park in San Francisco the hostess asked if I wanted to sit outside.  Even though I've been to PSC several times over the years, I never knew they had an outdoor dining space.  What a pleasant surprise on this sunny day.

The next surprise was a new dish on their menu, the Roasted Calamari.  Served in searing hot cast iron skillet, the calamari sits atop broken savory spicy noodles.  The noodles remind me of fideo.

The final surprise, the Anejo Sour in the Light and Lively section of the PSC's cocktail menu.  It's a cocktail with the main focus on the anejo tequila, and with lemon, sugar, and egg white.  Sometimes when you have a cocktail you don't taste the main spirit.  This is NOT the case with PSC's Anejo Sour.  If you want to taste the tequila in your drink, PSC's Anejo Sour is for you.  I can't wait to return to try one of the other cocktails in the Barrel Aged, On the Rock or Served Up categories.
