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.

A friend had this drink at a long-forgotten bar in Brooklyn and recreated it. The Fernet and maple go nicely together, and in total it ends up being quite refreshing.

  • 2 oz rye whiskey
  • ⅓ oz Fernet Branca
  • ¼ oz Maple Syrup
  • ¼ oz Maple Liqueur
  • 2 dashes orange bitters
  • 2 dashes Angostura bitters
  • ginger beer

Shake ingredients (except ginger beer) with ice. Strain into a collins glass, top with ginger beer, and garnish with an orange peel.

Looks tasty! The name makes me think of a low-ABV painkiller

Been looking for a reason to buy a bottle of Fernet Branca.
