Solid Cold Cadillac Bottle Club Pub SF

All the drinks at midcentury-themed Bottle Club Pub reference classic American songs; this Golden Cadillac riff is named for a 1956 Pearl Bailey ballad. 

A word of advice from Jayson Wilde: Don’t try to hurry the melting process on the stovetop or microwave. “It changes the structure of the ice cream,” he says. Wilde cuts a 3-gallon tub of ice cream in half, peels off the cardboard, sets it in a large Cambro container and allows it to melt overnight.
