Maker Notes

Max Rudsten and Ben Flajnik, two local guys with a passion for the peculiar, formed their friendship over a shot of fernet. Prior to this fateful toast, they each had explored their infatuation with complex elixirs. Max had spent tireless days in his backyard experimenting with his own concoctions, constantly macerating, infusing, and barrel-aging different local plants and herbs, exhaustively cataloging the results in hopes of creating the first local, San Francisco fernet. Meanwhile, on an amaro quest of his own, Ben traveled to the most remote corners of the globe, immersing himself in the methods and techniques practiced by some of most renowned international distilleries.

Their connection sparked the emergence of Fernet Francisco - The first locally crafted, Bay Area fernet.

In each batch of Fernet Francisco, we distill 12 hand-picked herbs with a holy wisp of fresh fog. The purest. The surest. The spirit of San Francisco.

If you are looking to amaze your guests with bold flavors and rich taste, our Smirnoff Vibrant flavors are a must try. From spicy to sweet and everything in between our selection will be sure to tantalise your taste buds.

Smirnoff Pink Lemonade Made with real vodka and equipped with a balance of lemon, strawberry and raspberry flavors – adding a sweet and surprising taste to your cocktail.

NEFT Vodka Russian for oil is new ultra-premium vodka to the US that is packaged in a unique, specially made oil barrel. Pure Alpine spring water and the best quality grains are the basic ingredients for its wonderful, natural taste.

NEFT Vodka exclusively uses four types of European rye grains: Rapidly, Amato, Pollino and Askari. We do not use any additives, such as sugar or honey, or any natural or artificial flavorings. The slightly sweet finish is attributable to the base of pure rye distillate as well as the unusual cleanness of the alcohol.

NEFT Vodka is produced exclusively in small batches using a distillate that is significantly different from that used in conventionally made vodka. In short - NEFT Vodka is in a class of it's own.

This Calvados VSOP follows the strict Calvados AOC Pays d’Auge guidelines that require double-distillation in a traditional copper pot still called an “alembic á repassé.”  It is then aged for 4 years in casks that previously held Calvados.

Clear, golden color.  Aromas of caramelized apple with a slight woodsy-ness. On the palate this Calvados has a very bright and appley flavor. The finish is spicy.

The fermented cider that is used for making Pierre Huet Calvados (called calvados cidre) is fermented for 12 months in hundred-year-old oak barrels before being distilled. The Calvados is then put in oak barrels once again and aged for four years.

700ML 40% alc/vol.

Centuries ago, in pre-hispanic Mexico a lightning bolt struck the gem (or heart) of the maguey plant, roasting and fermenting its sugars, and out poured the sacred and mystical sap known today as Mezcal. Hundreds of years later, artist-alchemist duo AdrinAdrina and Elliott Coon, both daughters of bohemian bootleggers, started brewing their own spirits and infusing elixirs. Together, the duo are powered by the belief that a positive lifestyle elevates consciousnessand thus GEM&BOLT was born.

Handcrafted by fourth generation Maestro Mezcaleros, GEM&BOLT is a small batch, artisanal Mezcal produced using traditional methods with no artificial yeast or chemicals. Using mature (8 to 10 yr) 100% Espadin Agave from the high lands of Oaxaca, GEM&BOLT is a clean spirit, first distilled in small copper stills and then rested (not aged) in oak barrels for 3 to 6 months prior to its second distillation with the traditional Mexican herb Damiana giving GEM&BOLT a smooth (less smokey) profile with subtle herbal notes.
