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.

Bloody Mary bar (lemmy.world)

Just a little bloody bar I set up for a brunch party. I use the recipe from the Employee’s Only book, Speakeasy, and it usually goes over well. I adapted it to 32 oz of tomato juice (which is a common size where I shop), so lots of the quantities are a little weird. But it’s a very forgiving recipe, so I don’t stress that!

32 oz tomato juice
⅔ tablespoon capers
4 oz Worcestershire sauce
2 ⅔ oz lemon juice
1 ⅓ oz olive brine
⅔ teaspoon celery salt
1 ⅓ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 ⅓ teaspoon Tabasco
5 ⅓ tablespoon horseradish

Stir all ingredients in a large food-safe container until well combined. Refrigerate overnight. Stir again before using.

If you really want to make it a Bloody Mary bar you should set everything up on the bathroom counter in front of the mirror and then turn out the lights.

Five thirds of horseradish

Don’t fuck this up with 1 and a half.
