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.

Ramos Gin Fizz (lemmy.world)

2 oz. Gin, 1/2 oz. Lemon juice, 1/2 oz. Like juice, 1/2 oz. Simple syrup, 3 dashes of Orange bitters, 1 oz. Cream, 1 egg white, 2 oz. Soda water. Lime peel. Shake all the ingredients expect the soda water, for while a minute. Then add ice and shake again until chilled. Strain into a glass and add the soda water and garnish with a lime peel. Didn't worry about dropping the peel in, it will just sit on the now semi-solid top.

I made this for my wife and one for me. She loved it, but it wasn't for me, to much lemon and lime. The cream, egg white, and soda water made the top half of the drink semi-solid and was fun to drink. Definitely a cool drink to make and try.

If you do a reverse dry shake. You get all foam.
