Vermouth Warning | San Francisco
The Alembic's sidwalk chalkboard usually features some sort of crotchety, old-school, cocktailian slogan as a warning to any jack-and-coke or jager shot-ordering yahoos who might happen by. Most Californians would instantly recognize this one as a clever riff on the ubiquitous Proposition 65 "known to the State of California to cause cancer" signs. I actually think it would have been even better if they had said "gin" instead of "vermouth," given the average person's ignorance of anything other than vodka-based martinis these days.
