Introducing Soif’s Wine Takeaway!
We are now offering curbside pickup for wine, every other Wednesday! The upcoming wine pickup days are:
Wednesday, May 6th
Wednesday, May 20th
Wednesday, June 3rd
When ordering wine, please specify your price range and style preferences, so that our wine shop experts may best assist you. Wine club wines may be picked up at this time, as well.
Orders for wine may be placed by emailing alexis@soifwine.com. All orders must be paid using a credit card over the phone, as we will not be accepting cash at this time. Once your order has been accepted, we will contact you for your payment information.
We look forward to stocking your cellar and fridge!
As you anxiously await the return of sunny skies and warm days here in Santa Cruz, pull up a seat at our bar and check out some of our newest cocktails – sure to warm the soul these cool and rainy months ahead.
Cozy up with our popular Tom & Jerry, featuring cognac and Jamaican rum. Served in a mug, this hot concoction is a seasonal favorite here at Soif.
Featuring our neighbor - Cat and Cloud Coffee – our Oaxacan Cold Brew adds some mezcal to give this coffee lover’s libation a smokey twist.
A cocktail staple at the restaurant – our seasonal punch gets a wintry mix with the Punch d’Hiver featuring Mikkeller gin, Lairds Single Cask apple brandy, fino sherry, cranberry oleo and star anise.
And – months in the making – the Rye, Jerez & the Fir features balcones rye, super anejo tequila, amontillado sherry, espodol garnatxa and house Douglas Fir bitters. Fun fact – the Douglas Fir is from a farm in Soquel and we perfected these bitters over the course of six months!
Check out our full list of cocktails along with some of our “Classiques” here.
Cheers – looking forward to seeing you soon!
