Blending Perfection: Haute 5 Mixologists in San Francisco

Jeff Hollinger

Author, Manager, Mixologist.  All of these are titles that Jeff Hollinger of Absinthe Brasserie and Bar (398 Hayes St.) holds.  Jeff co-wrote a book entitled, The Art of The Bar, in 2006 and shot into the San Francisco cocktail hall of fame with barroom artistry and imagination that only a true master can put into words. Inspired by classic cocktails, Jeff has added his own twist, blazing a virgin path and creating the newest classics in his wake. By utilizing fresh herbs, syrups made from scratch and unique ingredients, a simple cocktail made by Jeff transforms into liquid poetry on the lips. Jeff also offers “Bar School”, where he teaches patrons a little something about mixing a damn-fine cocktail. Belly up to the Absinthe Bar for fun or for an education; either way you are in for a little taste of boozy heaven.
