Here’s my take on a delicious, savory, olive oil-y drink I had on a visit to Bar Corallini, in Madison, WI.

  • 2 oz olive-oil-washed gin
  • 3/4 oz lemon juice
  • 1/4 oz St. Elizabth allspice dram
  • 1/4 oz simple syrup
  • 2 dashes Japanese bitters
  • 6 drops gin-washed olive oil
  • garnish with a fried sage leaf

To make the olive-oil-washed gin, I mixed about a cup of olive oil with a bottle-minus-a-cup of Plymouth gin and let it sit for a month, agitating it every now and again. Then I froze it (the oo freezes and the gin doesn’t), then cut some of the frozen olive oil out and strained it. It is subtle but very tasty!

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.
