I did have a more themed cocktail today. 2oz bourbon, 5 raspberries, demitasse spoon of sugar, half oz lemon, half oz raspberry liqueur, quarter oz Campari. Muddle fruit and sugar, add the rest, shake with ice.
Strained twice, put in a barolo glass over ice, garnished with raspberries on a pick.
Red vermouth with a light, alkoholfree lager (1:10). More longdrink than cocktail, but it's a really good mix.
Ooh I’d like to try this! I’m on vacation at the moment, where there’s not much of a beer scene. So I’ve been mixing (imo boring) lagers with a splash of flavored soju.
Not romantic or notable, but I’m on a whiskey highball kick lol. I can’t stop drinking these. So easy and low cal😆
I love good whiskey, particularly bourbon but anything good enough to drink by itself, lengthened with fizzy water and a lemon wedge. On ice. It's such a perfect drink. Sort of a Kentucky ranch water.
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.

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.
