Era Art Bar and Lounge is a truly beautiful and HUGE new cocktail venue that just opened a few weeks ago on Grand & Broadway in Oakland about four blocks from the Fox Theater. Their cocktail menu was designed by resident mixologist Marjan Simovics, who describes the Fleur de Pepin cocktail thusly:
The name translates to Flower of the Seed and refers to the grappa, which has grape seed. Hayman's gin has more of an orange rind citrus flavor, the juniper berry is not overpowering in this particular gin. The egg white adds texture and softens the acidity of the drink. It is served shaken, up, and garnished with an edible blue flower petal (such as orchid, or lavendar bud), or citrus rind.
