Old Growth Fashioned
Not every Old Fashioned needs to be a fruit bomb of sugar muddled with orange and cherry.
This method, as preferred by Head Distiller of Redwood Empire Whiskey, is a simpler, rye-forward take on the classic with a hit of orange zest.

- 3 Dashes/36 Dashes Angostura Bitters
- 0.5tsp/6tsps Granulated Sugar

San Andreas
The San Andreas is more of a slow-sipper which is best enjoyed while watching caveman TV and waiting for the stars to come out.
El Triangulo Rojo
Inspired by the underwater wildlife that would send any surfer’s adrenaline level to the max, this sweet and herbaceous cocktail pairs excellently with oysters on the halfshell, raw or char grilled. We use predominantly blanco tequila for the backbone, so the agave flavor shines through on every sip.
Celebrating National Public Lands Day in Point Reyes National Seashore
Beginning your descent as you fly into SFO, you’ll see a knife edge gash of water cutting into California’s coastline, effectively separating Tomales Point from the rest of Marin County. You are looking at Tomales Bay, a body of water that is the actual San Andreas Fault. It’s part of fog-covered Point Reyes National Seashore and it’s also entirely encompassed by the infamous Red Triangle, home of the largest Great White Sharks in the world. This peninsula would absolutely be the part of California that slices off during an earthquake and also the destination we planned to celebrate 2021’s National Public Lands Day.
