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.

2024 has arrived! For January, the cocktail challenge is Kiwi and Mezcal. The rules are simple, a novel drink using these ingredients, most upvoted (not net votes) wins.

Rule change: winner may pick the next challenge (not the month immediately following, as that's not enough time to announce, but January winner can pick March challenge, and so on)

Post cocktails as replies to this thread. Post requirements are a photo, a recipe, tasting notes. Replies to recipe posts are allowed.

Enjoy!

February challenge will be a RED drink with a Valentine theme (broadly defined, love or martyrdom). Anything novel and any shade of red, must contain at least three ingredients but can be non alcoholic.

Ok, I will make the first try, please someone make something more interesting!

Kiwi Ahumado

1oz kiwi syrup

1oz tequila (Tequila Ocho San Jeronimo)

1/2oz Midori

3/4oz Mezcal (Del Maguey Chipicapa)

3/4oz key lime juice

Mix all ingredients, shake with ice.

Look - Kiwi syrup is ugly! Dull gray green. The Midori and lime help but I would not call this beautiful. The picture is misleading, it doesn't look that bright to me in real life.

Tasting notes - this is lovely, but not exceptional. Smells like kiwi. Tart on first sip, the smoke of the mezcal is prominent in a good way, toward the top of my mouth. Just sweet enough. The mouth feel is interesting, the kiwi syrup sort of rough from the seeds, the texture slightly thick and very pleasant. The Midori is hidden, it just supports the kiwi, rounds out the fruit flavor.
