The San Francisco Travel Association today unveiled The San Francisco Martini Trail, a curated journey highlighting 23 standout martinis and local establishments in the City by the Bay.

Conceived in the Bay Area during the Gold Rush and refined in the city’s pioneering saloon scene, the martini’s simplicity captures San Francisco’s spirit: refined yet unpretentious, endlessly reinvented, and impossible to forget.
