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 Rye whisky (I used Beaver's dram)
  • 3/4 oz lemon juice
  • 3/4 oz honey syrup (3:1 ratio)

Shake with ice and serve.

Overall really good, I get both the spice from the whisky and the sweetness of the honey. Kind of like a spicy version of a Bee's knees I would say. Not sure if this would be better with another kind of whisky, I'll need to experiment!

Going to try this next weekend.

For some reason, thinking it might also be good with a dash of orange blossom water.

I think that could work for sure. I always have a hard time putting the right amount of rose water, it gets overpowering really fast!
