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 have been boring lately, coffee and a couple of bourbon sours. What are you all drinking?

Not tonight, but most recently I made a Tom Kha cocktail.

  • 2oz Lemongrass and Cilantro infused Vodka (homemade)
  • 1oz Coconut Cream
  • ¾oz Lime Juice
  • muddled Kefir Leaves and Jalapeño

Stir and serve over ice.

We had something similar but non-alcoholic recently. My basil plants are crazy big & I keep looking for ways to use it.

Whole limes, cut into eights, coconut cream, lots of basil, sugar, and ice in the blender, strained over fresh ice.

Cheap beer. Doesn't count for cocktails but drinks and company...

Jameson sprite, a couple mind erasers, and probably a malort to tie it into a neat little bow.
