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.

Pausing dry July for one drink, streets are too flooded to get to yoga and it's been an eventful month.

1.5 oz bourbon (any whiskey would be good)

.75 oz Amaro Toscano (would not substitute another)

.75 lemon juice

Shake together then stir in

3 oz dry or sweet full flavored ginger beer (mine is home fermented, spicy and dry but a strong and sweet one would also work)

Really hitting the spot, the Toscana and ginger reminds me of gingerbread. An aperitif before supper then back to none for another week. Usually my one drink of July is historically on the 15th so made it an extra week!
