beretta old fashioned starlite san diego cocktail
Two Saturdays ago, I uncovered a set of online recipe flashcards for Starlite in San Diego, and the Beretta as a mixed base spirit and mixed herbal liqueur Monte Carlo or Frisco of sorts called out to me. I was able to spot the drink in Yelp menu photos in both 2023 and 2025. In the glass, the Beretta shot forth with an orange, caramel, and Cognac aroma. Next, caramel notes on the sip landed on whiskey, Cognac, caramel-herbal, and dark orange flavors on the swallow.
