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.

Mai Tai with Passion Fruit Foam (lemmy.world)

We cooked a ham with pineapple glaze for Christmas, so went for pineapple-adjacent flavors for sides… and cocktails of course!

This is a Mai Tai with a passion fruit foam. A friend had something like this in Maui, and I’ve been thinking of it ever since! Why not Christmas? I found this recipe published by a restaurant on Maui called Monkeypod.

  • 1 oz Old Lahaina light rum
  • 1 oz orgeat or almond syrup
  • 1 oz Marie Brizard orange Curaçao
  • ¾ oz lime juice
  • 1 oz Old Lahaina dark rum
  • 1 splash honey-liliko'i (passion fruit) foam
  • ½ pineapple slice

Shake the lime juice, orgeat, curaçao, and light rum with ice, then strain into an ice-filled rocks glass. Float the dark rum. Top with the honey-liliko'i foam, and garnish with the pineapple.

For the foam:

  • ½ oz honey
  • 1 oz passion fruit purée
  • 1 oz simple syrup
  • 1 oz egg white
  • 1 ½ oz water

Mix ingredients well and put in a nitrous-oxide infuser to half capacity. Use 4 charges for a liter-sized infuser. If you do not have access to an infuser, you can blend the ingredients on high speed until foamy.

I’d give all my Christmas gifts for a sip of this!
