Sequoia Sour
The oldest known giant sequoia is 3,200–3,266 years old.
Wrap your head around THAT while you sip this sour with a cinnamon twist.
Single/Firelight 750
- 1.5oz/9oz Redwood Empire Pipe Dream Bourbon
- .75oz/4.5oz Lemon Juice
- 0.5oz/4oz Cinnamon Syrup
- 1oz/6oz Dry Red Wine (Zinfandel, Merlot, or Malbec)
Add bourbon, lemon juice and cinnamon syrup to a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake hard for 15 seconds. Strain over fresh ice into an old fashioned glass. Pour the red wine over the back of a spoon to float it on top of the cocktail. Garnish with a lemon wheel.
Cinnamon Syrup
Break up six cinnamon sticks (approx. 3” long) and add to a saucepan with 1 cup water and 1 cup sugar. Bring to a boil then simmer for 15 mins. Let syrup cool with the cinnamon in it. Once cooled, strain cinnamon and keep in fridge. (Yields approx. 1 cup)

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.
