Stephen Phillips, the host of FINE LIVING's Great Cocktails, serves up a delicious Bloody Mary!
Orbit Room

Vespa jockeys, lounge lizards and office assistants converge at this circular San Francisco bar to mingle, unwind and view the scene outside on Market Street from floor-to-ceiling windows. A space-age Sputnik chandelier and spinning top-shaped tables complement the vibrant, friendly atmosphere — as does the music. There are a few beers on tap and a separate café counter offers Italian sodas and tasty things to nibble, such as focaccia pizzas and pesto-and-cheese-topped bagels.

And great way to wash down the tasty treats is the following cocktail:

Bloody Mary

Ingredients:

2 oz. vodka
4 oz. tomato juice
2 dashes Worcestershire sauce
4 dashes Tabasco sauce
1/4 lemon
salt and pepper
celery stalk
