The Alta Mira Bar - evolved



The Alta Mira Bar kicks off the Benson & Hedges (from now on B&H) Drink Recipes from 100 of the Greatest Bars.

This charming place was located within the Alta Mira Hotel in Sausalito, California, across the bay from San Francisco. An internet search reveals the hotel is no longer, yet has new life as a private pay recovery center.

Feels blasphemous to post a drink recipe from a hotel that is now a treatment center, but all things in moderation:

Coffee Alta Mira

  • 1 1/2 oz. orange cognac brandy
  • hot black coffee
  • whipped cream

Pour brandy into 6 oz. wineglass. Fill with coffee and stir. Swirl in dollop of whipped cream. Avoid breaking glass by pouring hot coffee gently into glass over a metal spoon.
