The Menlo Club Cocktail

Writer's picture: Caroline La VoieCaroline La Voie

Think gangsters of San Francisco and poker houses. This was the drink. It comes from The Menlo Club, a 1940s San Francisco poker palace. White rum and gin makes for a tasty combination. Elmer “Bones” Remmer operated both the Menlo Club in SF and the Cal-

Neva Lodge at Lake Tahoe in the 1940s. So think Tahoe too!
