Week 10: A cocktail with no name at Comstock Saloon

I ordered the "Barkeep's Whimsy" at Comstock last night leaving my fate in the hands of the bartender.  The drink he served me did not have a name and consisted of: bourbon, orange curacao, and orange bitters.
The cocktail with no name

Note: My buddy Matt, who has accompanied me during the last 2 weeks of my cocktail mission, also ordered the Barkeep's Whimsy and was served a modified version of the New Orlean's cocktail The Ninth Ward: Bulleit bourbon, St. Germain, Velvet Falernum, grapefruit juice, and Peychaud's bitters. Despite my allergy to citrus, I definitely had order envy.

Week 4: The Darb at Comstock Saloon

Equal parts gin, dry vermouth, apricot brandy, and a few dashes of lemon juice

We went to Comstock on one of the hottest days in San Francisco in recent memory with temperatures still in the mid 80's at 8pm.  The Darb was perfect -- not too sweet, and super refreshing.
