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 am out of bourbon, cognac, vodka but have tequila and a lot of amaros/liqueurs so tried yesterday: Fernet, tequila, Giffard Banana & a little lime, NOPE. Right down the drain with that. Ended up with another pineapple variation; tequila, Heirloom Pineapple Amaro, a little of the banana liqueur, a little of roasted pineapple syrup, and some lime. More of a margarita variation, it was much better but not what I was aiming for.

I think the banana liqueur maybe needs to be saved for pancake batter or banana bread, it's not bad I just can't make it work in a drink.

I don’t drink these often, but sometimes I Abide (in my own way) and pour a

2 Appleton

1 coffee liqueur (I use a diy rum-based here)

Spoon of branca

Spoon of banana

Mole bitters

Top with whole milk

I’ve used giffs and banana 99 there…hard to say which works better, but 99 is more candy nana than giffs.

This weekend is getting warm, so it’ll be a batch of margaritas with Naranga plus my new fav mixto, El Tequileno….and ti punch with Paranubes to pick up any slack…an excellent sip if you like funky rums. Cheers!
