Fruity refreshers and more cool cocktails at San Francisco bars for the hottest season of the year.
-
Slanted Door
1 Ferry Bldg, San Francisco, CA
Soak up the stunning Bay view with a Phantasm: lemongrass vodka with lime and falernum (a sweet Caribbean syrup). -
Bossa Nova
139 Eighth St, San Francisco, CA
A hot night spent sipping caipirinhas--a traditional Brazilian cocktail made with cachaça, sugar and lime juice--at this festive Brazilian joint conjures up the colorful culture of summers in Rio. Live Latin-jazz music, authentic eats and a rotating selection of infused cachaças to choose from enhance the spirit. -
Mamacita Restaurant & Bar
2317 Chestnut St, San Francisco, CA
Pomegranate-infused La Pinta tequila makes this Mexican cantina's signature margarita dangerously down-able on SF's rare warm evenings. -
Poleng Lounge
1751 Fulton St, San Francisco, CA
Cool down before things heat up with some Monkey Love Juice, a blend of lychee juice, raspberries, rum, vodka and black tea (which, like all Poleng's cocktails, is also available in a 60-ounce “Emperor's Cup” meant for sharing ... with a summer fling, perhaps?). -
Mangarosa Restaurant
1548 Stockton St, San Francisco, CA
Unwind on the sun-drenched sidewalk cafe with a Red Lust Mojito, which features Remy Red strawberry and kiwi infusion and Bacardi Coco.
