B+B Team picks, SF Summer Edition: Bottles so good they barely make it to the floor
We get new arrivals weekly, and deciding which one to take home is as hard for us as it is for you. This summer there have been dozens of new arrivals, and we've loved them all.

Occasionally, though there are bottles that struggle to make it to the floor because so many of our Bitters + Bottles team stock their home bar with them first. We save the limited edition whiskey for y'all. The bottles we tend to covet are the flavor packed cocktail workhorses whose cocktail possibilities are limitless.

Engagement Lemonade Recipe - a not so modest proposal for a swift knee drop
If you’re familiar with “engagement chicken”—the roast chicken recipe that continues to take certain corners of the internet by storm (it’s so good, allegedly, that it guarantees a marriage proposal)—you’ll recognize the flavor profile here, because this is its cocktail counterpart.

Three Kinds of Vermouth People
When it comes to vermouth, there are three kinds of people in the world: people who think it is all terrible (aka people who have almost certainly only had vermouth that had gone bad), people who think it is all the same (aka people who have yet to experience how a different vermouth totally changes a cocktail), and people who won’t bat an eye at all if I say something like “Well, this is my favorite vermouth for a Manhattan but this over here is my favorite vermouth for a Negroni.”

Not Your Basic Birch, Liqueur
