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.

Pineapple & Bourbon cocktail (lemmy.world)

I am making tepache, and juiced the fruit of the pineapples. This is heavenly, if you don't have the pineapple Amaro a spiced and slightly bitter but not too heavy amaro, like Toscana might work, or Ancho Reyes original but I highly recommend the Heirloom for fruity drinks, it's so good.

2 oz fresh pineapple juice

2 oz bourbon (stronger is better)

1 oz Heirloom Pineapple Amaro

1 oz lime juice

Tajin

I first mashed the tajin in a mortar and pestle. Wiped the rim of the glass with the squished lime and rolled it in the tajin, put big ice cube in the glass. Then shake everything else together and pour into prepared glass. My pineapple juice is very, very sweet this time, you might need to adjust if you have a more acidic one.

What's Tajin?

[–] EbenezerScrew@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago (2 children)

It's a Mexican seasoning with lime, chili powder and salt. You can probably find it in most grocery stores, it's pretty common.

Here in LA, Tajín is often found in the produce section because it's used for "Mexican street fruit." (i.e. sprinkled on cut melons, mango, pineapple, sometimes cucumber etc. and a squeeze of lime.)

Excellent, thank you!

Very strong on the lime taste. WONDERFUL stuff for lots of seasoning!

[–] Godort@lemm.ee 3 points 5 months ago

Try it on fruit sometime. It's incredible there. I never really cared for melons or mangoes but Tajin makes them delicious.

why is there a cube of cheese with a pill in it floating in the drink

[–] RBWells@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago

That's a glorious clear ice cube and foam from shaking the drink.

If you have a pill to spare, though, I'm in. Or a piece of cheese, for that matter.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

Sorry, that was my drink, not OP's.

I’ve never heard of that amaro but now I want some. I hope I can find it locally.
