!cocktails@midwest.social is one I'm hoping will grow with time. As is, we get probably a couple posts a week, and honestly, roughly the same amount of comments as on r/cocktails, despite it's much higher user and post count, so it seems like people are enjoying the engagement. If you're into fun drinks, stop by!
I just subbed. Next time I make one of my favorites -- a White Russian or a Mudslide -- I'll try to remember to take a picture. (And yes I know I have the palate of a six year old girl.)
Edit: One of these days I'll watch enough "How To Drink" videos to make me ambitious about mixology again.
Hey, they're classics for a reason. Don't be afraid to experiment though! I love a White Russian with rum subbed for the vodka. And I bet both of those cocktails would be great shaken with an egg, and topped with grated nutmeg
What's the deal with eggs in cocktails? Raw egg yolk is approximately the grossest thing I have ever experienced, texture wise, so... yeah. ELI5?
In cocktails, eggs mostly just give texture, so putting a whole egg in a drink makes it rich and silky, which is good in a desert drink. Cocktails with whole eggs are called flips, and you can make all kinds. I did one once with bourbon and apple cider to make apple pie
