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.

This was for my friend who is a ginger fiend. It definitely took some elbow grease to grate that all up. Worth it though

  • 2 oz Bourbon Whiskey
  • 1 oz Lime Juice
  • 1/2 oz Fresh Ginger, grated
  • 1/2 oz Simple Syrup
  • Sprig of Rosemary (for garnish)
  • Candied Ginger (for garnish)

Directions

  1. Grate fresh ginger in a cocktail shaker with lime
  2. Add all remaining ingredients and ice to the cocktail shaker.
  3. Shake and strain into a martini glass
  4. Garnish with a rosemary sprig & a piece of candied ginger on the rim.

This looks intense, I really want to try it.

How would it go using preserved ginger (in syrup)? Slightly less elbow grease, or just stickier?

That's my next goal. I think you could easily put a bunch of dried Ginger that could be used for ginger tea into boiling water and then make a simple out of that. I'll do anything to save on grating time.
