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 made one of my favorite Trinidadian dishes last night (doubles), and what better pairing than the Queen’s Park swizzle — named after the Queen’s Park Savannah in Port of Spain where carnival takes place. Of course it has angostura, along with black rum and mint. Lovely! I took this recipe from smuggler’s cove.

  • 4 mint leaves
  • ½ oz lime juice
  • ½ oz Smuggler's Cove Demerara Syrup
  • 2 oz black blended rum
  • 2 dashes Angostura bitters
  • 1 mint sprig

Gently muddle the mint leaves with lime juice and syrup in the glass. Add the rum and bitters. Add crushed ice until the glass is three-quarters full, then swizzle. Top with crushed ice to fill the glass, and garnish with a mint sprig.

Ahh these are great, always thought of it as a mojito with much more depth

And now I find myself wanting one before 10am on a Sunday..... Might be a touch early
