Photos from the Damrak Gin Contest in SF

A couple of weeks ago I helped judge the Damrak gin cocktail competition in San Francisco. Over the course of two days we drove around to 18 bars in vintage Cadillacs and judged a drink at each. It was a heck of a lot of work, but we helped make five people very happy with trips to Amsterdam.

The winning recipes are:

• Always Sunny by Wes Bouchia of Yoshi’s   
  
• The Greenhouse by Jonny Raglin of Absinthe
  
• The Flying Dutchman by Jenn Philpot of Waterbar 
  
• The Dr. Fazi by Will Herrarra  of Cosmopolitan Café   
  
• Golden Gate Gimlet by John Solorzano of Jack Falstaff

More pictures are after the jump.
