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.

I am having the Bar Cima Summer 2023 cocktail:

1 oz. reposado tequila

1/2 oz. mezcal

1/2 oz. passion fruit liqueur

1/4 oz. Ancho Reyes Verde

1/2 oz. fresh pineapple juice

1/2 oz. fresh lime juice

1/2 oz. honey syrup

3 dashes fire tincture (or use Scrappy's Firewater Habanero Tincture)

tajin salt rim

Prepare the glass & shake everything. I forgot the fire tincture and squirted it on top so the opening is very spicy.

I double the pineapple juice as I just made it minutes ago, and always make 2 at a time as I can't measure 1/4 oz, this is very fussy if you make just one, but 2 is easy.

A post ‘No Kings’ Oktoberfest bier at a local brewery. Negroni with Guinness chaser back home. Maybe an old fashioned after this, we’ll see!

Wine with creme de menthe. Low-effort kind of weekend.
And TBH I really want to drink something with lots of creme de menthe that isn't a Grasshopper.

Your recipe looks neat, though! I'd definitely go for a sip if someone offered.

I know I'm being lazy. If I wanted something slightly more complicated, I'd go for a Chocolate Stinger. BTW, my favourite spirit for stingers is tequila reposado.

Bourbon whiskey with a few drops of water.

Love the recipe but looks too involved when you have kids.
