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.

3 oz white wine
2 oz campari
2 orange wheels
top with soda water

Mix in the glass with some ice.

Had a little bit of white wine left, and I wanted to see if there was some good cocktail to use it. I'm not sure that's really the kind of drink I like, it mostly tasted like diluted campari (which I guess it is). But I could see it working on a really hot day!

I have been having campari and orange also known as a Garibaldi. Delicious

That sounds nice, might as well remove the dilution ^^

[–] dumples@piefed.social 2 points 3 months ago

It's sweet and bitter in a great way. I did mine almost 1:1 with ice. I kept the layering but gave it shake to give it a little mix as I was drinking.

I've made this, but it just tasted like grapefruit juice to me?

[–] dumples@piefed.social 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Did you mix it? I just pour the campari over ice and then top with orange juice. I also love grapefruit juice

[–] RBWells@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I did. And I do like grapefruit juice - it wasn't bad at all, just felt like I could have had grapefruit juice instead!

Campari and grapefruit juice, though - that was interesting. I did that with vodka & a splash of lime, and enjoyed it a lot.

Sounds delicious

Nice soda maker, I've got the same

[–] MaybeSushi@sopuli.xyz 2 points 3 months ago

Yes we are happy with it, it looks nice with the metal body

Do you enjoy a negroni sbagliato? It's nearly the same flavors, just a bit more concentrated due to using prosecco for the bubbles instead of separate soda water. It calls for sweet vermouth, too, but if it's a sweet prosecco dry vermouth works as well.

I haven't tried, but that sounds good! I do like Americano (campari vermouth soda water), and one cannot go wrong with prosecco!
