Bourbon Lift

Modern | Coffee, Fizz | by Erik Adkins | from Anders Erickson

It was created by San Francisco bartender Erik Adkins who helms the bar at Hard Water, his most recent of many stints in the bay city. The Bourbon Lift is a playful, nostalgic drink that’s hard to put down, and not because it might float away on a fluffy cloud
