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 can't remember who was looking for cocktails to go with stir fry, but this one looks perfect. No, there is not Koji in the drink, nothing too complicated here, but the celery-soju-mezcal seems well suited for a meal of stir fry veg with sesame oil and soy flavors, or something peppery.

I made it! We don't have dashi powder but do have dashi concentrate so I just put in a couple of drops.

My thoughts: celery juice is a pain in the butt to make (haul out the juicer for a small amount) and honestly doesn't come through here. This is quite delicious, however, like a fancy boozy limeade. The dashi broth works fine, I think a saline of sel gris would too. I'd like more mezcal (I used the good smooth one, though, so maybe it just needs the rougher one). If I make another round will increase the mezcal and celery. Oh, and "5 teaspoons" is a scant ounce, don't bother actually measuring it by spoonful. I do absolutely think this would be fantastic with stir fry or if you can get cel-ray soda where you are (it's not available around here) I think you could make something close and easier, the soda, soju, mezcal, dash of something sea-ish, adjust the acid.

Also it sounds like a lot of sweetener but this is not too sweet at all, and I often think standard recipes too sweet.
