Mint (lemmy.world)

I have a bunch of mojito mint in the garden but don't feel like a mojito! What else do you make with mint - I have a reasonably full cabinet of stuff so recommend away.

Maid's!! Just about any spirit, lime, simple, mint, and cucumber. Shake that shit up and serve it over ice. My favorite is with tequila. I also love it with gin or rum. Add a touch of ginger to it or a unique liqueur!

Alas, no cucumber right now but I do have Mastica, think I can get close to this & it sounds great.

ETA: oh yes. Claro tequila, mint, lime, sugar and Mastica. Delicious and far enough away from a mojito, thank you!

A place for conversation about cocktails, ingredients, home mixology, the bar industry or liquor industry, glassware - this is not an exhaustive list. If you think it's in some way related to cocktails it's probably fine.

If you post something you didn't create give credit whenever possible.

Pictures and recipes are encouraged when posting a drink as a standalone post. Example of an ideal drink post:

We love garnishes.

Remember the code of conduct, keep it nice. In terms of cocktails- specific etiquette that might be different from other communities:

Mentioning your blog, insta, website, book or bar is allowed, yes. For now at least, we do allow self-promotion. If it gets out of hand this might change.

A good post with a drink you don't like is still a good post! Try not to conflate the drink and the post or poster. If someone has a relevant title, gorgeous photo and clearly formatted recipe of what you consider a truly terrible drink, a comment is more appropriate than a downvote.

On that topic: Polite critique/reviews of drinks (or posts, images, etc.) is allowed here. Encouraged , even. It's a good tool for improving your drinks and content. Really, just be nice.
