Alameda Sunset - a drink, not the sky

My wife and I like to walk to a nearby bar called 1400. It gets its name from its address: 1400 Central Avenue.

With real estate plummeting in value, one of the characteristics that is being scored to differentiate various properties is walkability. Our neighborhood's walkability score is 66 out of 100.

A walkability score measures how easy it is to live a car-lite lifestyle by awarding points based on the distance to amenities in many categories. These categories include things like restaurants, coffee, groceries, parks, schools, shopping, books, bars, and banking. Amenities within .25 miles receive maximum points, and no points are awarded for amenities further than 1 mile.

Now back to the title of this post. 1400 makes this great drink. Its called the Alameda Sunset. It consists of:

• orange juice
• Hangar One Chipotle Vodka
• Peach Schnapps
• Grenadine

St. George's Spirits, the maker of Hangar One Vodka, is right here in Alameda. I sometimes walk there. Much like our Autodesk Gallery, they have a great tour.

The Alameda Sunset is easily my favorite drink, and since it contains orange juice, I practically consider it as cold medicine.

Enjoying a beautiful sunset is alive in the lab.
