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.

Running out of things!

1oz bourbon (end of the bottle)

1oz Cognac (end of the bottle)

1 oz Amaro Nonino

0.5oz Aperol

0.5oz Campari

1.5 oz fresh lemon, squeezed in press right after squeezing some orange juice, so hint of orange.

Really good but sort of like making soup, just using up ends of bottles! I do recommend adjusting Paper Plane though, it's so much better with twice the bourbon and I find I also like it better with that half-Aperol, half-Campari.

Last word, corpse reviver #2, naked and famous, paper planes. I love that style of elevated and citrus cocktail served up.
