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.

Lots of whiteclaw vodkas.

When I was feeling motivated to actually make something in a shaker, I've been doing frostbites over shaved ice. The ice chips definitely make that a better drink.

A non-alcoholic nightcap

2oz kin dream light

2oz pear juice

3tsp ginger infused syrup

1oz fresh lemon

Stirred with ice then poured over one big ice cube & topped with San Pellegrino Limonata soda. Quite pleasant.

Made some cantaloupe kvass (like tepache but with cantaloupe rind instead of pineapple peel, and used coriander & nutmeg not cinnamon) and having a glass of that tonight. It's a little sweeter than I was going for but delightful. Not a cocktail but still interesting complex flavor.
