Cocktail O’Clock: The Softer Side of Bourbon

Harry Denton’s Starlight Room, a classic San Francisco cocktail lounge long known for having one of the best views in town, reopened this month with a new look and — most interesting to us — new cocktails.

Ever had a date who said she (or he!) can’t handle bourbon? Here’s your new entry-level bourbon drink. Who couldn’t handle this one?

Savoy Bounce

1 oz Bulleit Bourbon
1 oz St Germain
1 oz Lemon
Prosecco
3 muddled Brandied Cherries

Muddle cherries with bourbon, St. Germain and lemon juice.  Shake all together, strain into champagne flute and top with prosecco.  Garnish with a lemon peel.
