Boring picture but not a boring drink. Whole Foods here had the best, ripest, most perfect yuzu I have ever seen. Got 6 of them, making a liqueur from the zest, and I juiced them and got about 4oz, not bad as they are mostly seeds.
2 oz bourbon
1 oz fresh squeezed yuzu juice
1 oz orange liqueur
0.5 oz St. Germain
Shaken.
Hmm I made the liqueur, sort of a yuzu-sake sweetened, and am very unsure about the sake in there. Too late to take it out now though. It's (the sake) one we've used with rhubarb liqueur so I thought it would be good in this.
I would like to say that the blender- infusion method rocks! Blended the zest with vodka, rested it overnight, strained, gorgeous.
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.

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.
