Hog Island Oyster Co. Port Authority Old Fashioned

Hog Island Oyster Co. is one of the best places to go for oysters and cocktails in San Francisco, and their Port Authority Old Fashioned is one of our favorite cocktails for the fall and winter. If you’re into whiskey, you’ll for sure be into this cocktail that Bar Manager Saul Ranella has put together.

Saul uses a port reduction to make this Old Fashioned, and typically uses Manzanilla Sherry to make Hog Island’s cocktail. To make the port reduction, combine equal parts port wine and sugar in a pan. Warm on the stove until it desolves. Remove from the heat, allow it to cool, and then once cooled add a small amount of rose water to taste.
