Hey Kids,
My wife and I are getting a much needed night out and want to do a little tour of Davis for cocktails. Just thought I'd reach out to the community and see what your favorite cocktails are that our local restaurants/bars are serving these days. We will be on foot and want to keep it to just Davis. Thanks for the input!

Posto also has some nice cocktails, such as the Gin Gin Mule and their seasonal sangrias, but their bar doesn't seem to be able to handle drinks that aren't on the menu.

When Posto first opened and for a good spell afterwards, they had an excellent bar; I had a great Sidecar and a really excellent Aviation. But the last two times I've gone there, it seems things have changed. They refused to make me an Aviation ("We can't make it without a recipe in hand"), refused to make a Grateful Dead cocktail for a friend of mine, and didn't know what a Gimlet was. My server told me, "We can really only make drinks if they're listed on the menu."
