Cocktails, the libationary art!

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.

Might make these threads monthly until we are more populated. What are you drinking today?

It’s summer so I’ve been ordering tiki drinks. Painkiller’s all day.

I have a bunch of left over limes from a party: it’s daiquiri time baby! I added a rinse of chartreuse elixir last night and that was delicious so I’ll probably do that again.

Caipirinha

The recipes all called for sugar. Switching to simple syrup made mine taste like the ones from the Brazilian Steakhouse and made making them simpler.

Today will be a pool day so Citadelle Jardin D'Ete Gin & Walmart lime sparkling water. Yes, that's right I add cheap lime flavored sparkling water to my citrus heavy gin. It is very refreshing and I can drink it all day. Have to stay hydrated while out in the heat.

We just flew into Ciudad de México today, so hopefully some good Mezcal (or even better Charanda) and cocktails soon! If anyone has any recommendations on places to go get a drink near La Condesa or Roma Norte, let me know!

A non alcoholic fruity cocktail of fresh squeezed lime and orange juice topped with Jarritos guava soda. It's good. And very pretty.

Also have secured passion fruit liqueur and making some fire tincture from vodka, garden habaneros, orange zest and anatto paste. Already planned an end of July celebration (I am not the only one in my circle who does Dry July) and making a round of that Cima Summer cocktail.

Browsing around mixel for something with coconut cream, made me something called a catamaran. Mixel claims it's a Death &Co. Recipe.

That's beautiful looking. The recipe sounds, um, interesting. Gin & Aperol & coconut and a cinnamon stick? How is it?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Pretty solid. I'm always on the lookout for a non-rum tiki drink, and this hits all the beats. A little sweet, but enough complexity to stay interesting through the finish.

Tepache this evening. If you want an easy & delicious entry level fermentation project that uses something you would otherwise throw out, tepache is it.

maybe unpopular but lemon drops 😋

I like 'em. Usually do vodka, limoncello, fresh lemon juice and a sugar rim. Really good before a pasta meal if you don't like wine.
