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 oz mezcal

1 oz reposado tequila

1 oz lime juice

3/4 oz Chinola passion fruit liqueur

3 slices of cucumber & a squirt of agave syrup

Ginger beer (I used 1 oz ginger syrup 3 oz fizzy water)

Muddle cucumber with agave, add mezcal, tequila, Chinola, lime, shake with ice. Strain thrice, mix in ginger beer, pour over fresh ice.

Not sure where this comes from - it appears in several sites without attribution, just like this but 1.5oz mezcal no tequila.

It's really good but not sure it needs the cucumber, I might try one more change next time and use some Cynar instead?

You know I don't usually go for food coms but this one might get me. Or does fediverse have an equivalent of r/salsasnobs?

Man that looks good

Well, welcome! I've not found any salsa community but if you start one I will join, I am definitely a salsa snob, lol.

And yes this was a delicious drink.

Looks good. I am not sure how you would use the Cynar in this, but would love your thoughts. I personally would just swap the cucumber for a tajin rim.

[–] RBWells@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Well I tried it - my thinking was that the Cynar has a vegetal flavor, and I know it works well with mezcal.

I did like it better.

Tajin rim sounds great too.
