Spring Cocktails at Gold Bar Distillery

Spring cocktails at Gold Bar Distillery on Treasure Island in San Francisco featuring Deep Blue, Island Sunset, and Smoked Piña Rita

Spring has officially arrived in San Francisco.

Longer days. Warmer weather. And the return of cocktails that are lighter, brighter, and built for afternoons that turn into evenings.

At Gold Bar Distillery on Treasure Island, we’ve introduced a limited-time spring cocktail lineup designed to match the season. Think fresh citrus, floral notes, and tropical elements, all layered into cocktails that feel just as good as the view of the Bay Bridge in front of you.

Whether you’re planning a casual visit, a date, or just looking for something new to try, these seasonal cocktails are now available in our tasting room.

Deep Blue

Deep Blue spring cocktail at Gold Bar Distillery in San Francisco, a floral gin cocktail with foam top and edible flower garnish

Light, floral, and easily the most elegant of the three.

The Deep Blue features gin, crème de violette, Cointreau, and fresh lemon, finished with a soft foam and an edible flower garnish. It’s delicate without being overly sweet, and incredibly smooth from start to finish.

What it tastes like:
Floral and citrus-forward, silky texture, with a clean and slightly aromatic finish.

Perfect for:
Date nights, lighter palates, and anyone who wants something visually stunning and easy to drink.

Island Sunset

Island Sunset spring cocktail at Gold Bar Distillery in San Francisco, a smooth and slightly sweet whiskey cocktail with citrus and cherry garnish

This one leans into that golden-hour energy.

The Island Sunset combines Gold Bar Whiskey with sloe gin, Campari, fresh lemon, and a touch of simple syrup, finished with orange bitters. While it has that classic Campari backbone, it leans noticeably smoother and sweeter than you might expect, with the sloe gin and citrus rounding everything out.

What it tastes like:
Smooth and slightly sweet up front, with bright citrus and subtle berry notes, followed by a gentle, balanced bitterness on the finish.

Perfect for:
Evening drinks, guests who want something flavorful but easy to sip, and that moment when the sun starts dropping behind the skyline.

Smoked Piña Rita

Smoked Piña Rita spring cocktail at Gold Bar Distillery in San Francisco, a tropical pineapple and citrus cocktail with Tajín rim

If you’re looking for something refreshing with a little edge, this is the one.

The Smoked Piña Rita blends citrus-forward gin with pineapple juice, lime, and Cointreau, balanced with a touch of agave. The Tajín rim adds a subtle spice that cuts through the sweetness, while the smoked element gives it a deeper, more layered finish.

What it tastes like:
Bright, tropical, slightly smoky, with a clean citrus finish and a hint of spice.

Perfect for:
Warm afternoons, first drinks of the day, and anyone who loves a margarita with a twist.
