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.

This is:

2oz vodka (ABK6)

1 oz Galliano

Half ounce lemon juice (because otherwise too sweet/flat for me - if you have a more tart orange variety it's ok but I like it a little more sour and bright than traditional)

4 oz fresh squeezed Minneola orange juice

Shake and strain over ice, or if you strain the orange juice going in, a dirty pour is great with this. These are amaretto cherries and I put a spoonful of the syrup in too. I can recommend these proportions, the 2/1/4 is good, and easier to measure. Makes one like this (a double) or two in smaller glasses.

Aw, this was the first cocktail I ever had! It’ll always have a fond place in my heart.
