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.

Rum, banana, spices, lime, Honey Nut Cheerios milk wash. At a bar in Santa Cruz called Ulterior. Generally I shy away from these places because they offer crazy fancy drinks that don’t deliver and cost way too much. Everything I’ve had here is good so far.

Milk wash? That sounds…interesting in a drink with spices and citrus.

Is it good?

It’s crazy good. The daiquiri is definitely there but it’s muted. The up front taste is a rum cocktail with Honey Nut Cheerios flavored clarified milk.

I assume they do like a milk punch treatment. The acid is actually necessary to form curds that filter the cocktail and make it clear with a great texture.
