San Francisco Blog

This beverage has beguiled this writer several times at Other Avenues (3930 Judah) and Rainbow Grocery (1745 Folsom), but never stopped to learn that Prince Neville's is a San Francisco brand brewed by the former chef and manager of the now defunct King Jamaica restaurant in the Western Addition. A family recipe he learned from his grandmother, this is much more pleasantly intense than the Mexican version of hibiscus coolers because of the liberal addition of ginger root. It is sweetened with honey instead of sugar, which nicely balances the tartness of the lime. He crafts some pretty wicked ginger beer, too.
