A bountiful glass
Summer cocktails, Pour House
Is your pantry bursting with farm-to-table preserves? Take a tip from Pour House and swizzle them into a cocktail. The bar's new summer menu capitalizes on fresh produce with house-made jams, syrups and bitters. Try the Lavender District ($9), an of-the-moment gin drink infused with orange oil and blueberry preserves. Herbal syrup and lemon balance the sweet flavors, while lavender bitters add a touch of floral. If you're there for the whiskey menu, get the Sinatra Smash ($10). It's Frank's favorite (Jack Daniels) updated with basil-infused peach preserves and some manly notes of Cointreau and bitters. 1910 Q Street, http://pourhousesacramento.com.
