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.

The Last in Blue, like it's cousin, the Avation, had a good flourall flavor to it. It was a toss up between my wife and I which one we prefer.

  • 1.5 oz gin
  • 0.25 oz creme de violette
  • 0.75 oz lemon juice
  • 0.5 oz simple syrup
  • 3 drops orange flower water
  • Blue curacao, to layer
  • Garnish with flowers (or in my case orange wheel)

Add the gin, creme de violette, lemon juice, simple syrup, and orange flower water to a shaker with ice; shake until chilled and pour into a coupe. Layer it with blue curacao. Garnish with flower petals if you got them.
