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.

Billed by the book Speakeasy as “the queen of summer cocktails,” this one seemed perfect for a night grilling. And it was! It’s fun, flavorful, and pretty.

  • 4 watermelon cubes
  • ¾ oz simple syrup
  • 1 ½ oz Plymouth Gin
  • ½ oz lemon juice
  • ½ oz Campari
  • 1 watermelon wedge

Muddle the watermelon cubes and syrup in the bottom of a mixing glass until the fruit has turned into a juice. Add the gin, juice, and Campari and fill the glass with 5 large ice cubes. Shake briefly and pour unstrained into a Collins glass. Garnish with the watermelon wedge.

Grilled corn on the cob is the fucking best. Drink sounds and looks delicious!

That sounds freaking fantastic. Definitely trying it out next time I get watermelon.

I took inspiration, used what I had, and adjusted the ratios

  • 1oz watermelon schnapps
  • 1/2oz Aperol
  • 3/4oz lemon juice
  • 2oz gin
  • 1/2oz agave syrup

Shake with ice, free pour, and top with seltzer water.

I'm rather happy with the result. I also tried adding mint syrup, but that was a little overpowering.

Waterloo is equal parts watermelon and toilet water
