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.

Passion Fruit Cosmo (lemmy.world)

Phone camera absolutely refused to focus on this drink, but it's pretty good tasting. I'm out of orange liqueur, had a little vodka and half a lemon wanted something lighter for Sunday.

2 oz Deep Eddy vodka unflavored

1 oz Chinola

1/2 oz lemon

1 1/2 oz cranberry juice cocktail

Shaken & double strained.

It's more passion fruit than cranberry but that's not a bad thing. Would make a great backbone for a summer punch or pitcher drink, it's sweet and ever so fruity but has some complexity. I feel like the Cosmo is so good for playing with; changing the citrus or liqueur changes it but as long as you keep it fruity it works.

How would you compare them to a pornstar martini? My SO absolutely swears by them.

Rounder and a little less sweet, not as strong . But yes if she likes that try this, and also try subbing the passion fruit liqueur in a margarita.
