Happy first birthday to Cocktails@lemmy-world!

For June, the challenge is a hot cocktail - either spicy or literally hot. Bring on the heat! Warm yourself if you are in the southern hemisphere, or cool off with a spicy spicy drink if it's summer (it is very much summer here).

No specified ingredient this round, doesn't have to be alcoholic but must contain at least three ingredients, most upvoted wins.

My daughter doesn't like it either - I find it has an affinity for pineapple, and I make tepache and also fresh pineapple juice a lot, so get a lot of mileage out of it. It was really good with Cynar in the pas de loup one too but the drink wasn't spicy overall.

If you never figure it out, try it in or on pineapple upside down cake, or on vanilla ice cream. Or the Pas De Loup one I tried, 2 parts mezcal to 1 part Cynar to 1/2 part Ancho Reyes, lemon and honey to taste.

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.
