John MarianiWhat’s in a name? Often the same ingredients. Twenty years ago, when bartender Tom Ho of the El Bizcocho restaurant in the posh Rancho Bernardo Inn in
San Diego came up with a drink called “Southern Champagne,” the cocktail, not the name (which meant nothing to Californians), became a signature item. Eventually, upon the urging of regulars, Ho changed the drink’s name to reflect its origins, and it became the
El Biz Fizz.
