The Bite:

Looking for a winning ensemble? Put together something fabulous for National Tequila Day today with Casa Noble tequila. SF's Fifth Floor mixologist John Griffin blends seasonal ingredients with Mexico's finest - triple-distilled, 100% blue agave, organic CN Crystal tequila, resulting in a stellar Bay Area cocktail that's especially fashionable.

Cocktail Fact

Mexican laws state that tequila can be produced only in the state of Jalisco and its immediate surrounding areas.

Small Changes Add Up

If 10,000 SF Biters mix up two pitchers of DIY organic cocktails instead of using a bottle of premade cocktail mix, we'll keep the environment from downing 26 shot glasses in pesticides.
