This drink is at the top of the Slanted Door's cocktail list. The Slanted Door is a Vietnamese restaurant in San Francisco's Ferry Building at the base of the Bay Bridge. The restaurant is known for its' inventive fare and drinks. This drink is nothing like I have ever tasted. It is clean, bright, fresh and so interesting. If you go to the Slanted Door, order this drink with the Grapefruit Jicama Salad. Perfection.
The Dorchester is a famous 30's hotel in London's posh Mayfair district. President Eisenhower set up there in 1944 during WW II, the literati drank there and celebrities still frequent the hotel. Allegedly, the Martini and the Manhattan were created there by their notorious barman, Harry Craddock.
