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.

  • 1.5 oz Mezcal
  • 3/4 oz cointreau
  • 3/4 oz orange juice
  • 3/4 oz lime juice
  • 1/2 oz agave syrup
  • pinch of salt

Shake everything with ice, and serve in a glass with a chili flakes rim.

The recipe originally mentioned tajin seasoning for the rim, but I didn't have any. I replaced it with chili flakes, which worked well with the mezcal, but didn't look as good!

Overall it was good, the smoke flavor from the mezcal was not overpowering, while still making this a mezcal drink.

Sounds really good! I had orange juice and espresso shot before, but nice with the fizzy water to keep it refreshing.
