Tequila Ginger Cocktail Recipe

Happy Hour: Agave Niño

I love it when a recipe takes interesting ingredients that you wouldn't normally put together and turns them into something fabulous.

I love it when a recipe takes interesting ingredients that you wouldn't normally put together and turns them into something fabulous. Case in point: this cocktail! It combines tequila with white wine and ginger liqueur. The drink is incredibly balanced, surprisingly refreshing, and downright delicious. If you don't have agave nectar, substitute simple syrup. Ready for the recipe? Seriously, you've got to try this libation — it's so good I begged the bartender for the recipe so I could share it with you! He wrote it on a napkin. The photo and method after the break.

Happy Hour: Sazerac

Sazerac Cocktail RecipeIn honor of Mardi Gras, I've been on the hunt for a native New Orleanian cocktail to raise a glass to on Fat Tuesday. I can only take so many sugary hurricanes, so instead I looked to a stiff drink with a storied history.

I'm not an authority on the sazerac, so I asked Scott Brody, bar manager at San Francisco's Epic Roasthouse, for some expertise. "We use [executive chef] Jan Birnbaum's recipe," he explained. "Jan is very specific about the way the sazerac is prepared." When it comes to the classic cocktail, Birnbaum, who spent years working under the tutelage of Paul Prudhomme, doesn't believe in any fancy bourbon or martini glassware. "It's a working-class drink," Scott explained, adding that Epic's rough-around-the-edges sazerac is always made with Old Overholt Rye.

This Mardi Gras, make a French Quarter favorite with none of the pretense but plenty of authenticity. Read on for the recipe.

Onion Rings: Thick or Thin?

Last time a friend and I sat down to a basket of Epic Roasthouse's gargantuan-size onion rings, we got into the thick vs. thin debate.

Thick and Thin Onion RingsLast time a friend and I sat down to a basket of Epic Roasthouse's gargantuan-size onion rings, we got into the thick vs. thin debate. He prefers thick-cut onion rings, while I'm more often than not in the mood for the skinny frizzled kind. (Side note: skinny rings can also rock out on a burger.) But ultimately, I think choosing between thick and thin is like asking someone if they'd rather eat a burger or a hot dog; it just depends on your mood!

Since brunch is my all-time favorite meal, I'm constantly on the lookout for new spots to start off my weekends on the right foot. Recently, I was invited to check out the midday menu at Epic Roasthouse, a San Francisco establishment that's known for its aged chops and jawdropping views of the San Francisco Bay. I went, curious to find out how a restaurant with a glitzy steakhouse reputation would fare with more casual brunch standards like eggs and breakfast pastries. Check out my visit when you keep reading.
