Seasonal Punch and More at BDK
One of San Francisco's favorite bar managers, Kevin Diedrich (Jasper's Corner Tap & Kitchen, Bourbon & Branch, PDT, Clover Club), is now presiding over the bar at BDK and accommodating his adoring fans with new cocktails. Snap Peas is a refreshing take on the gin and tonic, made with London dry gin, sugar snap peas, and manzanilla sherry. The House Old Fashioned is available on tap, while the Seasonal Punch is served table side, from a bottle, for groups of 4 to 6 guests. // 501 Geary Street, in the Hotel Monaco
Communal Brunch Cocktail at Central Kitchen
If you like the communal aspect of BDK's Seasonal Punch, you'll love Central Kitchen's new Pacifica, now available during Sunday brunch, from 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. For $48, you'll get a carafe of bubbly wine, plus a selection of fresh squeezed juice, seasonal syrup, and bitters that you can mix and match to create your own boozy brunch beverage. It's easy like Sunday morning. // 3000 20th Street
