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.

  • 2 oz whiskey
  • 1 oz lemon juice
  • 1/2 oz simple syrup (1.5:1)
  • 1 dash angostura bitters
  • 1/2 oz aquafaba (not sure if it should have been there or not, but its pretty)
  • 1/2 red wine
  1. Shake everything but the red wine with ice.
  2. Remove the ice, and shake one more time.
  3. Pour in glass, and add the red wine on top (going slowly as to not mix it with the rest).

Really cool effect with the layers, even though the ice cube was probably a bad idea. Taste good, and a good way to use leftover wine!

"Leftover wine" is really just the next cheap bottle waiting to be opened.
