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.

And it restores half a health point, too. Stock up on them for when you are in a boss battle.

My guess is that they had limited options for colour, but wanted to imitate the blue-yellow of the Ukrainian flag. OR it heals 50%. OR it comes with a cone and 2 huge scoops of ice cream. OR it does 50% HP damage.

If it's available to you, sub Kahlua for Mr. Black coffee/vodka liquor and throw one or two espresso beans in your shaker with ice. Huge difference IMO

Idk if they have that here, but I’ll definitely remember that for home!

I like the white russians that use a whipped heavy cream float on top. For some reason it makes the whole drink taste less sweet lol. Usually in America it’s just mixed in

I've also seen Moscow Mule renamed to Kyiv Mule in a few places
