While I had the pleasure of attending San Francisco Cocktail Week, my bar crawl was cut short due to getting ill. And it wasn't even from something respectable like too many martinis or watermelon-vodka coolers. That said, it was still a par-tay! How could it not be? There was vodka, can-can girls and even a snake. Here are some of the best shots from the week-long event. Enjoy and see ya next year.
