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.

I had a Friday cocktail of an adjusted paper plane:

2oz bourbon

1oz Aperol

1oz Amaro Nonino

1 spoonful Campari

1.75oz lemon (this was too much, the lemon was quite juicy and I wasn't drinking anything else tonight so put in all the juice of one whole lemon. I'd recommend a generous 1 oz.)

I always think I don't like Campari, it doesn't taste good. But a little bit into something already complex can improve it.

Margs all day.

I’ve also recently perfected a blood orange Blood and Sand:

  • blended scotch
  • sweet vermouth
  • blood orange juice fresh squeezed (or splash of orange juice)
  • lime juice (omit if using blood orange; include with OJ version)
  • Luxardo Maraschino

Well shaken over ice, strain into coupe or nick and nora.

I wanna try this! What are the quantities?

I never measure beyond eyeballing and listening, but it's about:

  • 1.5 parts scotch
  • 1 part sweet vermouth
  • half part juice (fully blood orange or 50/50 OJ/lime squeeze for the regular version)
  • quarter to half part luxardo maraschino
