With the help of Trevor Easter and Plymouth Gin, I will be bringing Savoy Cocktail Book Night to the Back Bar at The Eveleigh next Monday, June 17.
There will be Hercules!
Hope to see you there!

Sunday, Savoy Sunday
Once again it is almost time for a Savoy Cocktail Book Night at Alembic Bar in San Francisco!
Sunday, May 26 myself and the wonderful staff at Alembic Bar will be making any and all cocktails from the Savoy Cocktail Book.
The special twist this month, is that North Shore Distilling is sponsoring the event.
Sonja Kassenbaum will be in the house as will both of their gins and their Absinthe.
We will have a list of cocktail specials featuring their gins and hopefully some time for Q&A.
Stop by after 6PM on Sunday for some Gin Soaked Savoy Fun!
April Foolish, but not Fooling
Savoy Cocktail Book Night will be returning to Alembic Bar this Sunday, April 28th, 2013.
If you’ve ever had a classic cocktail that has puzzled you so much, you didn’t dare even make it, stop by and spin the bottle with us.
We’ll be taking your requests, after 6 PM.
Not Quite Dead, Yet
Indeed, while we missed a couple months, Savoy Cocktail Book Night will be returning to Alembic Bar this Sunday, March 24.
We’ve got a few new tricks up our collective sleeves, and some new faces behind the bar.
Stop by after 6 PM and check us out.

Savoy Cocktail Book Night, Oct-Nov 2012
So, um, there’s this thing where the San Francisco Giants are playing in the World Series.
The fourth game of the series falls on the last Sunday of the month.
Because Alembic doesn’t have a TV, and I figure pretty much every San Franciscan will be watching the game, we’re going to move it to the first Sunday, November 4th.
However, to make up for this move, we are planning a special event with Appleton Rum.
We will be featuring specials on 7 delicious Savoy Cocktails and a punch all made with Appleton Reserve Rum.
Baltimore Egg Nog,
Knickerbocker,
Mary Pickford,
Millionaire #1,
Nevada,
Palmetto,
and Sevilla #2.
Pretty awesome list, no? Not a cocktail on there I wouldn’t gladly drink!
Hope to see on November 4!
Savoy Cocktail Book Night, September 2012
Hey!
The last Sunday in September, the 30th, is fast approaching, which means it is time for another Savoy Cocktail Book Night at Alembic Bar.
Your night to pick any random cocktail from the entirety of the Savoy Cocktail Book, be it a classic or some bizarre combination you can’t imagine the taste of, and we will make it for you, for better or for worse. There will be Hercules!
Come on in, the water’s fine!
