Winter is on its way, whether you like it or not. Let’s embrace the changing conditions with hearty eats and hot cocktail recipes. Or, better yet, let’s mix up some drinks like they do at one of the great Bay Area bars in Dirty Habit.
The bar is located on the fifth floor of the Hotel Zelos in San Francisco. It’s not going to be mixed up until November but we got early access to what goes into the cocktail shaker. Inspired by eggnog and holiday flavors, the Winter Whisper lives up to its name and offers some festive fun, even if a bit early.
Perhaps best, this is a drink with a cause. Portions of the proceeds of the cocktail will go towards Hungry to Help as its poured November and December. The non-prof is based in San Francisco and helps unhoused people with nutritious food and health education.
Read on for the full recipe.
