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.

Featuring Juno, our velvet hippo.

This made 2.

4 oz gin (Farmer's)

6 oz grapefruit juice

1 oz Campari

1 oz lime

8 oz tonic (fever tree light tonic, la mejor)

Stirred with ice, strained over fresh ice with one lime wedge squeezed in and put in. A little watery, the grapefruit maybe not quite perfect but it's good.

Because the fever tree comes in weird sized bottles, there was left over so I made a gin & tonic for my daughter's girlfriend. She did not like it but a splash of St. Germain fixed it for her.
