The Ice Cream Bar Gets Beer/Wine License, Hello Angostura Phosphate!

The Ice Cream Bar in San Francisco, a real soda bar with shakes and sodas made of things like candy cap mushrooms, sassafras root beer, and chicory coffee, has been granted a beer and wine license.

This Friday August 24th they'll debut the new menu with some boozy drinks. Below is the menu. The drinks will be in the $9-$14 dollar range.

Cocktail Menu: Lorelei in Warsaw, Poland

I received and email from Karol of the bar Lorelei in Warsaw, who says s/he's been reading Alcademics and making clear ice at the bar. 

Karol shared the menu, which is below. Smoked syrup, Angostura-caramelized raisins, fig-infused rum: This looks far more sophisticated than anywhere I visited last year. A good reason to come back...

The Princess Cruises Cocktail Menu

Alcademics reader Warren sent in snaps of the cocktail menu aboard Princess Cruises. 

Mostly it looks as I'd expect: sugary rum drinks and vodka "martinis" in various flavors, but there are a few nice surprises. There is a Blood & Sand on the whisky menu, and several beer cocktails including a Michelada and a drink with Guinness, rum, and bitters. 

The menus are below- click the link (if you see one) to keep reading.

Cocktail Menu: Summer Drinks at 1886 in Los Angeles

Though I haven't had the pleasure of drinking there myself, I love seeing each season's cocktail menu at 1886 at The Raymond in Los Angeles. 

I see: bottled cocktails, a rum-gin shrub drink, genever-basil collins, Battavia Arrack. 

See below for the menu.

Cocktail Menu: Summer Drinks at the Walnut Creek Yacht Club

I like to share interesting cocktail menus here on Alcademics and the folks at the Walnut Creek Yacht Club are kind enough to send me theirs when it changes throughout the year.

Want to share yours? Drop me a line.

I see: barrel-aged rum & sherry, celery/akvavit combo, spiced rhubarb syrup. Yums.

The menu is below.
