Cocktail Menu: Winter Drinks at the Hotsy Totsy Club in Albany, California

Neon_largeThe Hotsy Totsy Club, a bar in the East Bay not far from San Francisco (but far enough that I haven't been there yet!), has a new winter cocktail menu.

I see: cinnamon vermouth, bottled cocktails, barrel-aged Negronis, and my first sighting of the Tempis Fugit créme de caçao on a menu. Woot!
