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 fresh pineapple juice

2 oz overproof bourbon (or one with strong flavor)

1 oz amaretto (I used Adriatico)

1/2 oz pineapple amaro

1 oz lemon

Squeeze of agave syrup - if your amaretto is traditional & sweet, omit this, and add a tiny pinch of fine salt.

Shake everything with ice, pour over fresh ice.

It's really good, but I think would be better with a drizzle of syrup from amaretto cherries and a garnish of the same, and probably better with a sweeter amaro. I don't have either right now. But honestly pineapple and whiskey is hard to mess up. It's good.

Yes I moved the glass off the magazine right after the picture.

Made this today, as I somehow already had pineapple amaro on hand. It was good! The bourbon I used is pretty stiff on its own, so this felt like a good use for it. Thanks for sharing.
