Junipero Gin Presents
Happening in San Francisco, Junipero Gin is proud to introduce the inaugural Martini Week as a tribute to where both the martini and Junipero Gin were born. To raise funds for The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence®, bars and restaurants across the city will shake things up by making their take on some of the best martini recipes with Junipero Gin’s bold unfiltered expression. Out of all the fun things to do in San Francisco, Junipero Gin’s celebration of martinis is all about enjoying this legendary classic in a way that is uniquely you.
24 Days Until the Celebration Begins
Without a doubt, martinis have been instrumental to cocktail culture worldwide. But, firmly grounded as one of the greatest classics, a hot debate always comes up: where do martinis come from? The answer? The San Francisco Bay Area. A reigning theory ties the origins of the martini directly to the mid-1800s Gold Rush in Northern CA. So, if you are wondering where to drink the best martinis…San Francisco, CA, the birthplace of martinis and Junipero Gin, is the place to go.
Born in San Francisco, CA, Junipero launched the American craft gin movement in the 90s with its handcrafted, unfiltered expression. Still made in San Francisco today, Junipero’s bold flavors are the ideal canvas for creating the perfect martini.
San Francisco is known as the center of American counterculture and for being a place that welcomes uniqueness. Inspired by the city, Junipero celebrates bold choices, encouraging you to find a martini variation you enjoy most. There is no one or right way to order a martini – whether you like it dry or dirty, shaken or stirred, or with an olive or a twist – the art of ordering a martini is something that is uniquely individual, much like this eccentric city that we call home.
We are excited to throw this weeklong celebration to raise funds for the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence®.
The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence® are a cutting-edge Order of queer and trans nuns. Since their first appearance in San Francisco on Easter Sunday, 1979, the Sisters have devoted themselves to community service, ministry, activism and outreach to those on the fringe. The Sisters believe all people have the right to express their authentic identity and unique beauty. Following their vows to "expiate stigmatic guilt and promulgate universal joy," they use humor and irreverent wit to expose the forces of bigotry, complacency and guilt that chain the human spirit.
