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.

I fucking love the zero waste ideas, kvass, tepache, the orgeat from avocado pits. Funny that the drink doesn't seem to use the strawberry syrup that gave her the idea in the first place, and I don't think you would need to throw out the tops for kvass, they can go in.

Definitely gonna set this up for July.

Also I have no idea how this got cross posted to the same community it's in, or how to undo that, I only see one instance of it when I look at the community but there are two comment threads! My apologies!

I did end up making this. The kvass is a lot sweeter than my usual tepache, but the drink once mixed is delicious even though sweet and does hit the spot as a non alcoholic cocktail.

I did put the strawberry tops in the kvass, and it fermented in 4 days but remains quite sweet.

remove and toss the tops

> zero waste

🤔

Yeah I had the same thought, and why not put them in the kvass? They could only help it!

“… After 5 days at room temperature…”

Ain’t nobody got time for ‘dat.

It's not like you have to do much to it though. I make tepache and ginger beer a lot, once it's mixed i just stir twice a day until it's bubbly. And it's so good!

This looks great! I think I will try this this weekend.
