Decade-old SoMa bar Wish (1539 Folsom Street) changed hands last year, and new owner Andrea Minoo just passed along their new cocktail list for fall. They’ve gotten into the spicy cocktail game, and a whole section of the menu is devoted to drinks made with house-infused habanero vodka, tequila, bourbon, and rum. And that stuff packs both a kick and a punch. Check it all out below.
