Long, fruity, slightly sweet and vodka-laced.
This fruity drink should not to be confused with the very different sloe gin-based San Francisco cocktail which dates from pre-1937.
Unknown, but almost certainly not originally from the city of San Francisco in California. It certainly originated before 1992, as that's when I first encountered this cocktail.

Don’t agree about it being too banana forward, it’s a nice background note that melds seamlessly.
What it is, however, is cloyingly sweet, to an absurd degree. There is no conceivable way this could be a 5/10 on the sweet-dry/sour scale! I even made it a second time, figuring I’d absent-mindedly tripled the grenadine or some-such.
