San Francisco bars our dogs love
Pup-friendly bars are a dog a dozen in San Francisco, but not all are created equal. The latest: Nadia's and Claire's dogs — Mimi and Dusty — have sniffed out a few favorites. State of play: If a bar doesn't serve food, odds are your dog is welcome inside as long as they're trained and well-behaved. Most patios are also dog-friendly. Zoom in: Here are some of the places where your dog is likely to score some extra love. Finnegans Wake — Cole Valley Why they like it: Mimi is always greeted by friendly bartenders, who give her plenty of treats. What to try: Nothing beats a crisp Golden State cider on the patio. Fable — Castro Why they like it: The large garden patio offers plenty of space for sniffing and stretching out. What to try: Claire enjoys sipping rosé on a sunny day. Fireside — Inner Sunset Why they like it: Some days are too cold and foggy to be outside. That's when our pups most want to visit this spot, which allows well-behaved dogs to cozy up indoors by the fireplace. What to try: A classic old fashioned. Brass Tacks — Hayes Valley Why they like it: The service is fast, especially when it comes to getting another round of pets. What to try: The Fist of the White Lotus, with white pepper gin and lychee. Holy Water — Bernal Heights Why they like it: Belly rubs are a staple at this heavenly cocktail haven. What to try: Nadia's go-to is the Pimm's Cup, one of the best she's had. 540 Bar — Inner Richmond Why they like it: It's always a fun time, especially when hanging out with your favorite drag queens who host Pink Flamingo Bingo. What to try: A gin martini with a twist, darling. Honorable mentions Zazie: Bring your dog to dinner Mondays for a doggy meet-and-greet and $10 off a bottle of wine.

How to make the iconic Pimm's Cup, often called 'Wimbledon's signature cocktail'
As the grass courts of Wimbledon come alive with top tennis talent, the iconic Pimm's Cup is back, offering spectators a refreshing taste of British tradition amidst the championship's excitement. How to make the iconic Pimm's Cup(Photo: Adobe Stock) Pimm's Cup is a popular British beverage and an ideal summer cocktail. But how did it get here? The story begins in 1823 when James Pimm, a farmer's son, opened an oyster bar in Victorian London. Pimm made a secret mix of gin, quinine, and spices to aid his guests with their heavy oyster meals. He served it in a small cup, which he called the "No. 1 Cup', leading to a renowned British summer drink. The popularity of Pimm's creation grew rapidly; by the mid-1800s, he was selling bottles around London for "three shillings a bottle". A Pimm's pub made its debut at Wimbledon in 1971, signifying the beginning of this collaboration. The golden brown, fruity drink was an ideal match for the All-England Club's elegant atmosphere during the summer tennis championship. Today, more than 300,000 glasses of Pimm's Cup are served to spectators at Wimbledon annually, making it an integral part of the tournament experience. The drink has become so closely tied to Wimbledon that it's often called 'Wimbledon's signature cocktail'. How to make it at home: Ingredients: 30 ml Pimm's No. 1 120-180 ml lemonade or ginger ale Ice Fresh garnishes such as cucumber, mint, strawberries, orange, and lemon Essential garnishes: Cucumber slices or spears Fresh strawberries Orange slices Fresh mint sprigs Lemon slices Method: Fill a tall glass with ice, add Pimm's No. 1, top with lemonade or ginger ale, and garnish with fresh ingredients. The more colourful, abundant the garnish, the more authentic the experience. (Written by Kaavya Sharma)

The secret to a refreshing cocktail or mocktail might be growing in the garden
A Pimm's Cup cocktail made with fresh mint, strawberries and cucumber. — Photo: Jessica Damiano via AP No, you're not likely to grow the spirits -- although they do come from plants (vodka from potatoes, tequila from agave and so on). But you can grow other ingredients that make those spirits delicious. Mint is the easiest herb to grow. It's so easy it may take over your garden if you aren't careful, so plant it in a pot and keep the pot away from the soil. Place the pot in full sun and water it regularly. In a few short weeks, you'll be able to pluck its leaves to liven up your lemonade or mint julep. If you want to get creative, experiment with a few different varieties. My favorite is spearmint, but peppermint is classic. Chocolate mint, pineapple mint and apple mint each have their charms, named for the scents and flavours they impart. There's even a specialty variety called Cuban mint, an authentic choice for mojitos. Mint stems keeping fresh in a glass of water. — Photo: Jessica Damiano via AP Basil, too, is available in several cocktail-worthy varieties. Genovese, the Italian variety often paired with tomatoes, works equally well in beverages, as do lemon and cinnamon varieties. Plant them in full sun and provide water, but account for your climate and take care not to over- or underwater them. Remove flower stalks, if they appear, to prevent the leaves from turning bitter. Lemon verbena smells heavenly and pairs as well with a gin and tonic as it does with sparkling water. Most herbs don't usually require supplemental nutrients, but lemon verbena benefits from monthly applications of organic liquid fertilizer. Water plants when the soil begins to dry out; overwatering may lead to root rot. When I have guests, I often muddle sage leaves with 1 ounce (around 30ml) each of vodka and ginger liquor, then add to a glass with 4 ounces (118ml) of ginger beer, and pineapple and lime juices to taste. It's as simple as can be - and just as impressive. For the most concentrated flavour, harvest herbs in mid-morning, after the dew has dried but before the sun gets too hot. In my garden, that means around 10 a.m. Place them, stem side down, in a glass of water indoors, out of direct sunlight, until happy hour. Don't forget the strawberries (bonus: The plants come back every year in horticultural zones 4-9) and cucumbers, both mandatory components of a proper British Pimm's cup, one of my favourite summertime cocktails. I make mine by packing a highball glass with thinly shaved cucumber, sliced strawberries, mint and a couple of sliced mandarin rounds, then topping it with 1.5 ounces (44.3ml) of Pimm's No. 1 liquor and 4 ounces (118ml) of lemonade or lemon-lime soda. And if you like your drinks spicy, muddle a red-ripe slice of jalapeno with lime juice and pour a shot of tequila over it, then add your choice of mixer. Or drink it straight. I'm not judging you. I'm just the garden lady. — Jessica Damiano/AP
