Bay Area cocktails: 4 fun spins on classic summer drinks

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:25:24 GMT

“That’s not how you make an Old Fashioned,” every bartender everywhere will hear someday. It’s as inevitable as the gin martini drinker saying gin is the only “proper” ingredient in a martini — as if it’s impossible to ever improve upon something.Pomegranate adds color and a unique flavor to a Cosmopolitan. Photo by Vern FisherSo, with the heat of summer fully arrived, I decided to take a couple of iconoclastic swings at a few summer classics. And while it would be monumentally audacious to ever offer writing advice to Ian Fleming or Ernest Hemingway, I feel pretty comfortable offering cocktail advice.But before we embark on that journey, we must first assume that, in some cases, adding one ingredient (or removing one) doesn’t irrevocably change a drink’s identity (ahem, the vodka martini versus the gin martini) and in that construct, we aren’t really bucking tradition, but rather following it, right?Here are four classics “fixed” by the addition of one new ingredient, al...

Trump Revives “Muslim Ban” While GOP Courts Muslim Voters for 2024

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:25:24 GMT

The culture war raging throughout American politics has, of late, created an unexpected alliance between the Republican Party and some conservative Muslim Americans. Once derided as terrorist fifth columnists, a growing number of Muslims have joined the GOP base in protests opposing sex and gender education programs in public schools, with many even featured sympathetically on outlets like Fox News.The shift represents a stark contrast with the hostile relations between Republicans and Muslims over the past two decades, as well as the integration of many younger Muslim Americans into progressive politics. The GOP’s outreach, reported on recently by Semafor and other outlets, also comes at a moment when the current Republican presidential frontrunner is tripling down on the most directly anti-Muslim government policy in U.S. history: the so-called Muslim ban.At a campaign speech in Iowa last Friday, former President Donald Trump promised that he would bring back the controversial pol...
