Hey all,

Anyone ever experimented with alternatives to a citrus twist that is more shelf stable? Can you simply get an atomizer of essential oil as a replacement? I drink infrequent enough that I end up throwing away dried out or rotten citrus when I go to reach for it.

Interested in people’s solutions for this.

Atomizer of extract is exactly what I use. Don’t try it with just the oil; it’ll clog up your atomizer. Find an extract that only has oil and alcohol as the ingredients. It’s 80% as good as a citrus twist for 1% of the work.

These are the atomizers I bought: https://www.pinabarware.com/products/glass-cocktail-atomizer-6-pack-commercial-bar-pack And the citrus extract brand I bought is Flavorganics, but anything that’s just the oil in alcohol can work. Just check the label.

EDIT: You can also use the atomizers for things like absinthe or rose 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.

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.
