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.

Paloma! (www.tastingtable.com)
submitted 11 months ago by RBWells to c/cocktails
 

I am glad to see Jarritos won this taste test, that's hands down my favorite grapefruit soda for a Paloma.

Since they do not recommend any particular recipe:

I fill pint glass most of the way with ice, get out a cup measure (the kind you can pour from), measure 2oz tequila, one ounce fresh lime, fill the rest with the soda (about 4 oz, there's more room in there than exactly 8oz) and pour it over the ice. Delicious.

I do often make something like this too, wouldn't call it a Paloma but grapefruit and mezcal are fantastic together.

"Paloma" from bon appetit

Excuse me, what the fuck is this bullshit?

Ha! Is Ting your favorite? I am absolutely team Jarritos, my kids like both Ting and Squirt better as sodas, though they love the lime and the pineapple Jarritos, and also the guava one, they don't love the grapefruit.

Jarritos is delicious, especially their lime, but I find it a little sweet. Nothing is quite as refreshing as Ting.
