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.

January is over, Wednesday is here and I am having a cocktail before supper.

A Sundowner.

2 parts cognac

1 part Galliano

1 part orange liqueur

1 part lemon juice

Shake and dirty pour into rocks glass.

Delicious as you would expect. This is a little less lemon than the standard recipe (making avgolemolo and needed most of the juice for that) and is a little too sweet, it does need the extra tartness; and honestly I might also sub fresh OJ for the liqueur and try that, but I do love Galliano in orange juice.

I think you could mix this into a very, very good crowdpleaser punch for a party with half this and 1/4 Sprite and 1/4 soda water.

Comics not related just going to read them this weekend

Yes, shake and just pour everything in the shaker into the glass, don't strain it over new ice.
