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.

Chancellor's Intern (lemmy.world)

To celebrate the return of electricity. All my remaining lemons & limes were lost to mold and I've not restocked yet, so something different. As close as I could get to Chancellor #2.

1.5 oz whiskey

1 oz tawny port

.5 oz Amaro Toscana

2 dashes Angostura bitters

Absinthe rinsed frozen coupe

Stir all ingredients with ice, pour into the glass.

A little sweeter and heavier than my ideal, obviously, but a nice aperitif, the flavors are good though. Not completely sure about the Toscana, close but maybe Amaro Nonino if I try it again. I never seem to have vermouth.

This one is saved for next time I get port; it looks delicious!
