A spirited toast to all things alcoholic! by Leslie Dinaberg<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Not sure of your relationship status? Just in time for Valentine’s Day (Feb. 8-15), Eureka! is offering two new specialty themed cocktails\u2014amusingly dubbed “Facebook Official” and “It’s Complicated”\u2014to help you figure things out (or figure out\u00a0that you don’t really need to know …).<\/p>\n

<\/b>The\u00a0FBO (Facebook Official) is designed to taste like a chocolate covered strawberry. Made with Buffalo Trace Bourbon<\/span><\/a>, a house-made strawberry simple syrup, lemon juice and chocolate bitters, it’s certainly perfect for the season.<\/p>\n

Not in the mood for something sweet, It\u2019s Complicated\u00a0is\u00a0a spicy cocktail made with Anchor<\/span><\/a> Junipero gin, beet sumac syrup and fresh jalape\u00f1os.<\/p>\n

Eureka! <\/a>is located at\u00a0601 Paseo Nuevo.<\/p>\n

Cheers!<\/p>\n
