Hi!

I'm thinking it could be fun to share some syrup ideas, for cocktails or simply with water. What are your favorites? Homemade or commercial, classic or unique :)

For me, I usually have orgeat (with almonds, I haven't tried with other nuts yet) and honey syrup in the fridge. I do also love ginger syrup and passion fruit syrup. I have tried lavender syrup, which was a bit disappointing, but it might have been overstepped.

Orgeat from avocado pits sounds really interesting! Do you basically hit the pit hard enough to break it, and then boil it?

Is the way I did it. It comes out orange but tastes good, and uses something you would otherwise throw out.

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.
