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.

Campari sour (sopuli.xyz)

I have some leftover strawberry-infused Campari, and it's too warm outside for a negroni, so here is a Campari sour!

1.75 oz Campari (the strawberry-infused one works really well, but it would still be delicious with straight Campari)
1 oz lemon juice
0.75 oz simple syrup
0.5 oz aquafaba

Shake with ice and add some dashes of Angostura bitter on top of the foam.

Ended up tasting like grapefruit! I would probably reduce the simple syrup and increase the Campari if I do it again, the bitterness is a bit lost. Still nice though :)

Strawberry campari sounds fantastic!

I live near strawberry land, so I would love to know how you infused it (muddle and strain, juice and mix, something more superjuice-like?) and the lifetime of the results.

I bet it makes a great highball too!

I cut off the strawberries into small pieces, covered them in Campari, and then let it rest in the fridge for like 2 days. Afterwards I strained the content into a bottle. I lightly pressed on the strawberries to get the juice off, but I had plans to eat them with ice cream (would recommend too!) so I didn't mush them either. No idea about the lifetime, but I would assume the same as normal Campari, assuming there are not bits of fruits in the remaining liquid? I keep mine in the fridge to be safe, and it's still the same after 2 weeks.

I tried it with soda water and it was really good! :) It's not an intense taste of strawberries, but it's definitely there.
