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.

The bitterness is what keeps me coming back, frankly!

Do you have problems with bitter flavours in general? You might be a supertaster

Not generally. I drink my coffee black on daily basis. Tho more leaning toward the light roast arabica, I could take dark roasts as well as robusta with no issue. I also have no issue with other liquors and spirits.

Tbh coffee bitter is quite different from Campari bitter but personal taste is very much that. My motto is that you should keep trying tasting, as through that you find out it what you like.

Did you try the white Negroni with Suze and lillet?

Yeah, I haven't given up on it, but so far, I can't say I have found anything that suits my taste.
