There are more fun drinking events than we can shake a stick at this week, though we don't understand this obsession with stick-shaking.

Hi-Tops Celebrates 49ers with Red & Gold Cocktail

49ers fans are accustomed to experiencing a wide range of emotions, from elated celebrations of hard-earned victories to soul-crushing depression after losses. Hi-Tops Sports Bar in the Castro is ready to drown your sorrows or fuel your ecstasy with their shiny new Red & Gold cocktail. The $10 cocktail is a classy mix of St. George terroir gin, strawberry cordial, simple syrup, a hint of lemon, and a floater of champagne. The cordial gives off a rosy glow that fades into a golden hue from the champagne. If you're watching the game on a Monday night, or during Hi-Tops' weekday happy hour from 4 to 8pm, you can pair your Red & Gold with 25 cent wings, among other happy hour specials. 2247 Market Street
