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 ran out of Amaro Nonino but wanted a paper plane so made a substitute:

2oz bourbon

1 oz Aperol

1 oz Heirloom Pineapple Amaro

1 tsp Campari

1 oz lemon super juice

Shaken. Delicious.

Ben Holladay Missouri Straight Bourbon Whiskey, neat, out of a small plastic disposable cup because I am classy.

Wife and I have been on a Long Drink kick recently, which is ok with me, Ive been fairly overwhelmed by life so having a tasty canned drink available is convenient

Paper plane is one of my all time favorites and just has a riff on one with a dry shake of an egg white in the mix first before the ice. Delightful, frothy

A tart lemon drop in a coupe with a sugared rim. Yum.

Also, off topic but - saw a Subaru WRX today, first time seeing one in the wild, what a good looking car! But 2023 is the last year for manual transmission in any Subaru model. I am sort of sad about that.
