My friend was throwing a customer appreciation party for her interior design/furnishings business and asked me to put together a menu and bartend the event. I tried to appeal to different tastes while keeping the total ingredients to a minimum for budget’s sake. How’d did I do?

Made a cocktail this morning, not sure what to call it…or if it already exists. I usually do a Bloody Mary for brunch but I wanted something sweeter and more coffee forward.

1.5 oz coffee liquor

1 oz Jamaican overproof rum (W&N)

1 shot of espresso

1 oz milk

Build in the glass over ice and stir.

It’s like a White Russian got into a fight with an espresso martini on the streets of Kingston. Is this already a thing?

Bartender here…best drinks made with milk&honey creme liqueur?? What’s the taste? Boss said he ordered so I can make up cocktails?

Thinking like grown up hot chocolate , espresso martini etc ..anything else? Halppppp

Any ideas on ratios and what would go into “green sauce”?

I've enjoyed making cocktails ever since I worked in bartending in my uni days, but i'm very far from an expert who can create new & exciting concoctions.

I'm attending a party in a few weeks where we have to make a cocktail to represent our worst ex. I don't have any exes... Just married the first guy who'd have me!

I was thinking of doing something that would look like the glass was empty... best I've thought of is a clear liquid one (martini for example) but I was hoping someone on here might have a better idea of a drink to represent a lack of exes or having some good luck in the dating world.

Humour is encouraged! And ideas that don't require me buying a bunch of expensive, random bottles I'll never use again even more encouraged.

I know it's a bit early to start on a Superbowl party...but I've been watching Andor again and got inspired by Mon Mothma's high-society parties. Last year, I did a Godzilla-themed party, which was a lot of fun...this year's theme will be: Chandrilan Superbowl Gala.

As I mentioned, I am currently re-watching Andor...and my interest was piqued after seeing the Chandrilan Squig and a couple other alluring drinks in some of the episodes. I figured I could collect some interesting cocktails from not only that series, but also the now-defunct Galactic Starcruiser--which, according to the story, is a Chandrilan Luxury Cruise Line. I think I'll also throw in my favorite cocktail from Oga's Cantina to round it out.

Side note if you have no idea what I'm talking about: Chandrila is a fictional planet in the Star Wars universe (or is galaxy the more appropriate word here?). Characters and other elements from the movies/TV series imply that it favors opulence and luxury. So my theme is basically a fancy Star Wars party.

Part of the reason I'm posting this so early is because I would appreciate some input and feedback, and I'm definitely open to ideas. I'll go through my first draft menu and highlight where I think I need some help in a comment below:

I had this at a restaurant recently. Would love to be able to recreate it at home, but am not sure which tequila would be best to use or measurements for the ingredients. Would appreciate if anyone could give me some suggestions!

title basically. i see lime sour mix, lemon sour mix, sweet and sour mix…are these all very different from each other?

2 oz aged rum 1/4 oz orange-peppercorn oleo saccharum Dash vanilla extract Aromatic bitters

In a shaker:

2oz of Light Cuban Rum 0,5oz of Campari 1oz of Like Juice 1oz of Orgeat

Strain into a glass

Despite the relatively small Campari pour, it’s still loud and proud, the rum pairs great with all the ingredients and acts a glue to to tie it together and the Orgeat puts a mellowing on the intensity of the Campari and lime juice brings a greatly needed dose of freshness and brightness to the drink

Delicious. Fall in a glass.

Effectively, I'm making some cocktails for friends and one of the cocktails I want to make is this one i saw on Instagram. I tried it as well and quite liked it.

However, my one of my friends doesnt really like alcohol as much (she can drink but doesnt like it), so I was thinking of how to make the drink (and future drinks) in a virgin variation as well.

For reference, the drink recipe is:

2 oz bourbon 0.5 oz lime juice 0.25 oz maple syrup Ginger beer/ale

Add all ingredients except ginger beer/ale into a shaker with ice. Shake. Strain into a cup of ice. Top with ginger beer. Garnish with two marshmallows on a cocktail pick and light them with a little fire to make a smore.

Hi there! Over the summer, I used fresh strawberries (and Sure Jell) to make a bunch of strawberry jam. For "reasons", I can't eat much of the jam. Am wondering if it's possible to use it to make shrub? I've made shrub in the past using fresh strawberries but am not sure if it's possible to do the same (or similar) using jam. The jam has the strawberry fruit and sugar already; but am wondering about the effects of the Sure Jell on using it to make shrub.

Advice/comments appreciated! :)

My first time making this and I thought it turned out excellent.

1.5 oz Pineapple Juice (trader joes) 3/4 oz fresh Lime juice 1/2 oz 2:1 Demerara 3/4 oz Hamilton 86 3/4 oz Appleton 12 3/4 oz Campari

Combine all ingredients, in your shaker tin with good quality crushed ice and 3 agitator cubes. Give that a good shake. Dump into a chilled collins/highball and top the glass off with crushed ice and pineapple fronds. Enjoy 😊 Love how it progresses with dilution and the Campari finish

Hi y'all! I'm a cocktail beginner (I usually just order the easiest thing at the bar) but I want to make myself a cocktail mix for my 22nd birthday gathering. I already have just regular Smirnoff so if there's a simple but tasty cocktail using that it'd be great but doesn't necessarily need it. Not too many ingredients please because I'm a broke college student xx

If you're like me and you have fond memories of going to get chocolate egg creams with your dad in NYC, but also like me, now well over 21, you make a Bailey's Chocolate Egg Cream.

• 3oz Bailey's
• 3oz milk
• cold soda water
• chocolate syrup, U-bet if you can get it, Hershey's 5 otherwise

Add the milk and Bailey's to a Collins glass, top with cold soda water. I have a siphon and it is great here.

Stir in chocolate syrup and mix drink.

Sip and enjoy some boozy nostalgia.

Old fashioned glasses include a cloche at Outback now. Really want these.

Wanted a large class so I went for the jumbo recipe:

2oz Coconut & Sesame fat washed 5years Plantation Rhum 1.5oz Campari 1.5oz Cocchi Vermouth di Torino

In a shaker: 3oz angostura bitters 2oz orgeat 1oz bourbon 1oz lime juice

Shake and strain into a glass

Together with the Espresso Martini and Jungle Bird, it might be my favourite cocktail, if only angostura wasn’t priced as liquid gold…

In a shaker: 1oz Bourbon 1oz Amaro Nonino 1oz Orgeat 1oz lime juice

Shake and strain into a glass

A marriage between the “last word format” and a paper plane, surprisingly delicious

2:1:1 Dusse, Cointreau, Lemon Juice

Am looking for an extra dirty ratio that's heavy on vermouth too. Batching for a party. How does this ratio seem? Perhaps not so boozy which could work out for the vibe.

4 parts gin 2 parts vermouth 2 parts brine 1 part water for dilution

I had this great version of the Pantheon cocktail that used vanilla infused scotch. I’d like to make my own at home, so I need to infuse some scotch with vanilla bean pods. Any ideas on how many vanilla bean pods to use for a 750ml bottle?

I’m thinking of using Glenlivet 12 for the scotch.

From Chiba Bar of Colorado Springs. A cyberpunk themed bar. Ingredient list from their site goes "Rye, boomsma, lemon bitters, Leopold absinthe spritz".
