Looking back

The SD Foodie take

Editorial commentary written from Roger’s original photograph and caption. Roger’s own words are the quoted photo note above.

A frosty glass with a foamy head and a lemon wheel floating on top — at a glance, a beer; up close, a cocktail.

Roger wrote out the full build — IPA, grapefruit-infused Aperol, orgeat and lemon — which is the most useful kind of caption. It shows a bar merging San Diego’s craft beer culture with its cocktail scene in a single glass.

The quick critique

What stood out

  • IPA mixed into a cocktail
  • Grapefruit-infused Aperol and orgeat
  • A recipe spelled out in the caption

Bottom line

Archive verdict

A clever beer-cocktail hybrid that captures San Diego’s beer and cocktail scenes in one glass.
