I love this cocktail so much! One of my all time favorites.
This is one of those drinks you have to either really love or do in a group. You need the good stuff to make it right. I usually used remy martin vsop just because thats what i had behind my bar. I loved making this one for guests because it was simple enough but required so many things that it was kind of a spectacle to make it in front of them.
Great looking glass!
Thanks! It’s from riedel: https://www.riedel.com/en-us/shop/drink-specific-glassware/rocks-glass-641700002
Slightly on the big side, but great weight and quality.
I know Riedel well, just yesterday I handed my friend a wine decanter from them for his birthday. Nice stuff!
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.
