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.

2 oz blended Scotch

1 oz Amaretto Adriatico (yes it has to be this one, see note)

3 oz fresh Valencia orange juice

Fresh lemon to adjust (not sure how much, it needed a little brightness)

2 oz club soda

I built this in a measuring cup then poured it over crushed ice.

Note: it took a moment for my palate to adjust to this Frankenstein's Monster mashup but it's very good, not just interesting. That Amaretto Adriatico is not very sweet and has a salty note - any other amaretto will be too sweet with the orange juice, you might be able to make it work but too much lemon would change this.
