Happy New Year 2012

INDi caught up with San Francisco bartender, Jessica Smyth, to find out what she’ll be mixing up behind the bar at SoMa bar Zaré at Flytrap this New Year’s Eve. Her drink of choice? The ‘Eureka’, based loosely on the classic ‘Gold Rush’ cocktail, is a stiff drink that contains tequila, elderflower liqueur, green chartreuse and, the appropriately festive, splash of champagne. This pairing makes for a delicious smoky, floral drink, not too sweet but with enough kick to get you into the celebratory mood. And the perfect final touch? Rim the glass with edible gold glitter to make the drink gold rush (and New Year’s Eve) worthy. Jessica generously shared her recipe with us – so get out your champagne flutes—here’s a cocktail perfect for celebrating the start of 2012!
