SoMa, San Francisco · bar
The cocktail menu is split by world region. Shochu and pandan for the Asia section, mezcal and horchata for the Americas. Film posters, neon signage, and the bar's namesake dog, Kona, make the place feel more like a market stall than a cocktail lounge, which is the point.
Gin-based riff on a classic with pandan, calamansi, bay leaf and coconut water.
No. 3 gin, sake, dragon fruit, lychee, passionfruit and coconut cream. Silky tropical.
Nikka gin, midori, makrut lime and calpico soda, the bar's most crushable crowd-pleaser.
