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.

For Sunday, a cocktail of tepache with mezcal and tequila.

1 oz mezcal

1 oz tequila (reposada but any would work)

1 oz lime

4 oz tepache

2 dropperful fire tincture

No, it doesn't fit in this glass !

Started this with 1 oz tequila 1 oz mezcal 2 oz tepache, because I've done that with tequila alone and it was nice. Way too boozy, mezcal too rough. Doubled the tepache, added the lime. Split it and threw half in the freezer for now. Would have been better with younger tepache (mine is a little dry) or some simple but I'm not that motivated today. It's good, hard to go wrong with tepache because it's delicious.

Previously, I used the whole pineapple, instead of just the core and peel. I also used piloncillo, which I think was part of my flavor issues. I may have also let it ferment for too long. I started making alcoholic Gingerbeer not long after the tepache attempt. Mayne it is time to take a crack at tepache again.
