Paloma Cocktail from Sacramento

1 Junby Amy0

 We are in Sacramento today.  We traveled to watch our oldest son compete in the IRA National Championship Regatta.  He rows for George Washington University and will be competing on Lake Natoma.  If you are interested you can watch the live stream of the races click here.  The Men’s Varsity 8 semi-finals will be racing (tentatively) starting at 12:00 p.m with four heats total.  If you see George Washington, CHEER!

So in honor of our trip I did a little research about Sacramento and if there was a cocktails that they were known for.   What I discovered is not so much signature cocktails but the city boasts a growing cocktail, buzzing beer, coffee and wine scenes.  Most of the cocktail recipes I came across had unique ingredient lists, with some stuff us lay folk would never have on hand in our homes.  But, boy oh boy do they look yummy.  After searching through several menus of the top rated bars and saloons throughout California’s state capital I  went with a cocktail that I saw on The Red Rabbit menu, but I substitute orange where they used grapefruit.  What you get is a tangy, zesty, fragrant cocktail.  Enjoy!
