(AP) — In this Sept. 22, 2011 photo, Daniel Hyatt, a bartender at Alembic bar, makes an infused alcohol "Bee's Knee's" at his bar in San Francisco.
This drink is made of house-made aquavit, cinnamon, cardamom, anise, caraway, horse radish, honey and lemon juice. A Prohibition-era law that banned bars and restaurants from infusing herbs, fruits or other flavors into alcohol has recently raised the hackles on bartenders in San Francisco. While no bar or restaurant ever received fines or been cited under the law, some bar owners say they were told by state alcohol regulators to stop serving infused beverages or face fines. They no longer have to worry since California Gov. Jerry Brown signed a law lifting the infused spirits ban, and just in time for San Francisco cocktail week. (AP Photo/Paul Sakuma)
