At Home with Gabe Kapler visiting San Francisco's Cold Drinks Bar
Our favorite MLB manager, Gabe Kapler, spends a lot of time on the road. He always tries to explore and get to know each city and the people who live there, as we saw in his visit to Los Angeles last fall.
The same goes when Gabe is in San Francisco, the city he now calls home. During the Giants' offseason, we were lucky enough to have him share some of his favorite places to go.
Our first stop was in the heart of Chinatown at Cold Drinks Bar where we got to meet bartender Yong Zhu. He's been reimagining classic cocktails with a Scotch twist since China Live owner, George Chen, opened his Shanghai-inspired saloon in 2017.
In this episode of "At Home with Gabe Kapler," Yong shows Gabe, well-known for being a fan of Scotch, how he makes one of the bar's most popular cocktails—the "Sometimes Old Fashioned."
Watch it, make it, enjoy it!

Though, would you believe it hasn’t always been that way? In fact, going to the beach is a summer tradition that is relatively new in the span of civilization.
