Hey everyone. As promised, here’s what I did for the holiday. It’s a classic mojito mix, made with freshly picked key limes. This is actually the 3rd pitcher, so pardon the lack of visual flair.

And before anyone asks, I don’t use a specific recipe or ratio. I built to taste based on the palate of the people I’m with. Some of my family like it weak and mild sweetness, so I have the bottle of rum for floating and made a simple syrup for the family who are speedrunning diabetes.

I’ve been making these since I was 6, feel free to ask me about any of it!

Happy Turkey Day!

I did also make a Nojito pitcher with rum on the side. My lime tree doesn’t have fruit right now but the mint is from the garden. Sitting here with a mojito, done with my part in the work, just relaxing.

Niiiice! Don’t they always taste much better when entirely homegrown? It’s like you can taste all the time and effort put into growing them.

Learning how to get that mix right is an art. Well done!

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.
