Division Bell! It's punchy and tart with the citrus and slightly bitter aperol, and the mezcal gives a really welcome smoky flavor. I add just a quarter oz simple to the standard recipe, otherwise I find it a little dry.

-1 ounce mezcal
-3/4 ounce Aperol
-1/4 ounce Luxardo maraschino liqueur
-3/4 ounce lime juice, freshly squeezed
-1/4 ounce simple syrup

-Add ingredients to a shaker with ice, shake well before straining into a coupe and garnishing with a grapefruit twist

Yes, it needs simple otherwise is too dry

Sazerac - basically a Louisiana old fashioned

  • 2 oz Rye whiskey
  • 1/4 oz dark simple syrup ( like Turbinado, Demerara, etc)
  • 5ish dashes of Peychaud’s bitters
  • rinse glass with absinthe (I swear it doesn’t taste like anise/licorice at all in the end)
  • lemon twist
  • serve straight up

A Right Hand.

You have to make it yourself though because unfortunately no one knows what the hell this delicious drink is.

Painkiller, which is piña colada for grown-ups

Whiskey Sour, skip the egg

Classic Daiquiri (not the slush one)

I'm partial to the New Orleans cocktails. If I'm making a Sazerac, I like this variation.

On the whole, though, my favorite has to be the Vieux Carré

  • 3/4 oz rye
  • 3/4 oz cognac
  • 3/4 oz sweet vermouth
  • 1/3 oz Bénédictine D.O.M
  • 2 dashes Peychaud's bitters
  • 1 dash Angostura bitters
  • Optional absinthe rinse (I usually keep some absinthe in an atomizer because I refuse to throw out perfectly good absinthe)

Serve in a rocks glass with a lemon twist

At the same time, though, my love for bitter sometimes draws me to a Bonsoni:

  • 2 oz Carpano Antica vermouth
  • 1/2 oz Fernet Branca

Negronis, I love campari and gin

I also love coming up with cocktails so I'd love to share one of my favorites, the Fire Eater

  • Dried whole chili peppers, broken in half
  • Fireball
  • Maraschino cherries and syrup
  • Fill with coke and serve over ice, alternatively use cherry coke

The drink gets spicier as you drink. For the full fire eater experience eat the chilis at the end.

Salmiakki, keep it classic.

Oh look it's a Finn.
The premade salmiakkikossu or home made turkinpippuri infusion?

Koskenkorva, I haven't tried steeping my own.

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !cocktails

Caipirinha. Made with cachaça, sugar, and lime. The drink is prepared by pounding the fruit and the sugar together, then adding the liquor.

Other than cheap domestic beer when im trying to get drunk, I stick to Old-fashions. Great drink to sip as the liquor slowly mixes with the water from the melting ice, smoothing out the flavors.

1.5 ounce whisky

.5 ounce of simple syrup (I like mine extra sweet)

A couple dashes of Angostura bitters

1 fat chunk of ice

(Basil Hayden is my bourbon of choice)

dropcase ,

Agreed on Old Fashioneds. We make them with bourbon, sometimes rye to change it up, and throw in some orange bitters

Makhno ,

I'll twist an orange peel over my bourbon to get some of the oils! My buddy does the same with lemon peel and rye

statler_waldorf ,

I like a Canadian Old Fashioned.

Bourbon

Maple syrup

Angostura bitters

Ice

Orange peel if you have them

Shyfer ,

Lots of good cocktails in here. Going to plug !cocktails for everyone to check out and contribute these cocktails, too.

Monte Carlo

1.5oz Bourbon,
0.5 Benedictine,
2 dashes Angostura

Black Russian is my thing most of the time. Also gin sour without egg is great.

some_guy ,

Anything spicy or peppery. I'm pretty basic. Jalapeños are enough, but if you're creative about it, so much the better.

Aecosthedark ,

Ive been adding Jalapenos to margaritas and using tajin for the glass rim. Very nice change.
