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.

Got this from the Mixel app, credited to Brad Farran. Recipe sounds strange AF, I was looking for something with Galliano that wouldn't use my two oranges (as the storm Milton may call for a hurricane later this week I want to save them) and something with some amount of citrus. This is really quite nice. Would not have thought tequila and rum would work together like this. I put a little more Galliano and no agave - if doing it again I might sub honey syrup though.

3/4 oz tequila Reposado

1/4voz mezcal joven

1 oz dark rum

1/2 oz Galliano

Dash of Absinthe

1 oz lime (scant, since no agave, closer to 3/4 oz)

3/4 oz agave syrup

1 dash tiki bitters (I didn't have, used Angostura)

Shake all with ice, pour over one ice cube.

I love the ingredients list, and I’m really into the idea here! Gotta say, though, that color is not very appealing 😁

Yes, certainly not a looker. It is very good though. I think if made with white rum and claro tequila it would be pretty but not as tasty.
