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 a weird one. I was feeling experimental today, made one drink that went straight down the drain (fresh OJ & lemon, vodka, absinthe, St. Germaine, don't ask) but this I am enjoying, tart, smoky, bitter. Sort of a margarita variation.

1.5oz blanco tequila

.5 each of

Tawny port

Mezcal

Aperol

Lemon juice

Shaken with not too much ice, served over big ice. I think next time no lemon (port tart enough), stir not shake and crushed ice, but the flavors are working.

Sorry for the fuzzy picture, the cat says hi!

And does anyone have a good absinthe orange flavor cocktail? I don't think the fresh juice works with it.

I LOVE the mid-stride kitty. It's like if you were at a restaurant, taking a pic of your drink, and caught a passerby like someone walking on the sidewalk, in the photo

Theres got to be a good Old World mixing with New World name. There's plenty of Mexican-Italian links and Mexican-Portuguese links, but I don't have it in me to link all three origins of the main ingredients.

I've never been to Mexico, but you should call this a Puerto Vallarta.

You should call it Orange Cell

At a glance I thought it was almost a negroni.

I strongly considered Campari instead of Aperol but Aperol was right, it was a bridge between the Mezcal and port and the overall effect was bitter enough for a good after supper drink.
