SF Event: Support Indy Arts @ Tonic Friday 6/19, I’ll Be Guest Bartending

indy_logoHey y’all, I’m guest bartending to support Indy Arts in a couple weeks.  Indy Arts is a convener of the DIY arts and media community in San Francisco.  It does cool stuff like hosting DIY media workshops and putting on the long running Expo for Independent Arts. It’s a volunteer driven nonprofit that helps foster a culture of democracy in San Francisco and beyond.  Come pay me a visit!  All tips go to Indy Arts to support this year’s Expo.   See event details below:

Wanna Cocktail? Save the Date!

On June 19th from 6pm-9pm, Indy Arts board and staff (and some special celebrity guests) will be guest bartenders at Tonic, a stylish little lounge located at 2360 Polk Street (@ Union). All tips received for the evening will be donated to our arts programming! Hurray!

Just to prove that you’ll be in capable hands, here’s a special Indy Arts Cocktail Recipe!
Remember – drink responsibly. Tip big.

From Indy Arts guest-bartender-to-be Lila LaHood:
A few summers ago, my brother and I, both living in San Francisco, invented a drink and named it after the place where we grew up, where local apparel and decor appear in funny shades of green (and pink) in proportions unknown to most of the country. This is a good summer drink — it’s on the sweeter side, but has enough herbal spiciness to give it a kick. Here’s our recipe for. . .

The Grosse Pointer
1 part Green Chartreuse
1 part Vodka
1 part Vernors Ginger Ale (MUST be Vernors. It’s the best ginger ale, and it’s from Detroit.)
Fresh Spearmint
Fresh Basil

Muddle the basil and spearmint in a glass or pitcher. (You can opt to use just one of the fresh herbs, but we really like the combined flavor.) Add the other ingredients and lots of ice and stir. If you find the alcohol overpowering, add more Vernors. Garnish with a sprig of basil or mint.
