Up in Smoke (lemmy.world)
submitted 2 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

About a year ago, @[email protected] posted a link to some cocktails with Asian flavors. I had some friends over for mapo tofu tonight and tried this smoky, fruity one. It was really nice! I couldn’t find dragon fruit juice, just a purée, so it was a little close to a smoothie… but still tasty. And goofy photogenic.

  • 1 oz mezcal
  • ½ oz Baiju
  • 1 oz John. D. Taylor's Velvet Falernum liqueur
  • ½ oz coconut milk
  • 2 oz dragon fruit juice
  • toasted coconut

Shake with ice. Garnish with the toasted coconut.

Looks very cool!

Never seen dragon fruit juice for sale, but dragonfruit itself is at a lot of supermarkets in Canada, so could always make my own juice. Mostly been using it for smoothies though, not cocktails. Might be a good idea :D

That color is intense! Was it from the dragon fruit? I’ve know the exterior to be that color, but I’ve only had the center bits. Sounds like a tasty one w those ratios

Yeah, 100% the dragon fruit! I was shocked at the color; it’s a super deep purple with these small black seeds, and in the puréed form in which I got it, it was super goopy and thick.

I’ve only gotten white dragonfruit before.

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.
