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.

I was recently at a party in Vermont where we pressed apple cider, so I was casting about for cocktail-with-cider ideas, and found this one from liquor.com: the Autumn Apple. It’s very approachable and refreshing, though I downed the honey and upped the bitters to make it a little more complex (in my opinion). It got good reviews from my family; I got asked for seconds!

  • 2 ounces Bluecoat American dry gin
  • 2 ounces apple cider
  • 1/2 ounce lemon juice, freshly squeezed
  • 1/2 ounce honey syrup
  • 1 dash aromatic bitters
  • 1 pinch cinnamon

Shake with ice, strain into a glass, and garnish with a lemon twist.

This was exactly what I needed to see. Had some honey syrup on hand and wanted to use it in something and it ended up being the perfect drink for a fall night
