LAGOON WATER

½ oz lime cordial 🍋‍🟩
¼ oz blue simple syrup 🔵
1½ oz gin
1 dash umami bitters
4 drops saline
top with seltzer

Garnish: orchid
Method: Set soda aside and build drink in glass in the order listed. Add a large rock of ice, add soda, and stir until color is even.

I found this one on the cheerstohappyhour IG channel and had to work my butt off to make it happen ;) The build is quite involved as listed, making blue simple syrup and I also had to make the lime cordial (I'd wanted to for a while anyway). The umami bitters are also very niche, but luckily I'd already gotten them for another cocktail some months back. And finally, the clear ice and maintaining orchids at home are both their own projects spanning days/months :D If you can manage to make it, it's got a five-star look and tastes great on a sunny afternoon!

🔵 Blue simple syrup: combine 1 cup sugar and ¾ teaspoon blue spirulina powder (or food coloring), and stir to incorporate dry ingredients. Once mixed, add one cup water then stir until everything is dissolved.

🍋‍🟩 I used Jeffrey Morgenthaler's lime cordial recipe: https://jeffreymorgenthaler.com/lime-cordial/

RYE-PA

½ oz lemon juice
½ oz orgeat
1½ oz rye whiskey
2 dashes Angostura bitters
3 oz New England IPA

Glassware: Double old-fashioned
Method: Combine lemon, orgeat, rye, and bitters in a shaker with ice and shake. Add the beer directly to the serving glass, then open pour the shaker into the glass. Garnish with mint.

An original by servedbysoberon on IG, but I've modified it to be more beer-forward by downplaying the sweet/sour a bit. The beer is called Frida, a #NEIPA by local brewer Braukollektiv in #Freiburg. Great summer smasher!

ANGOSTURA COLADA

1 oz lime juice
1½ oz pineapple juice
1½ oz coconut cream
1½ oz Angostura bitters
½ oz Pot Still Lightly Aged Rum ❶

Garnish: grated nutmeg, pineapple frond
Method: Combine all ingredients in a mixing tin with crushed ice and blend. A shaker with crushed ice will also do. Open pour with gated finish into glass and garnish.

I always like drinks with bitters as a base spirit. They're bound to be bold and interesting! This one is tempered by coconut and pineapple, with a little bit of pot still rum to give it that Daq vibe. Hoping to see weather like this again soon!

THREE DOTS AND A DASH

½ oz lime juice
½ oz orange juice
½ oz honey syrup
¼ oz falernum
¼ oz allspice dram
1½ oz Rhum Agricole Vieux ❽
½ oz Blended Aged Rum ❸
1 dash Angostura bitters

Garnish: three maraschino cherries, pineapple chunk
Method: Add all the ingredients to a drink mixer tin. Fill with 12 oz crushed ice and 4-6 agitator cubes. Flash blend and open pour with a gated finish into a footed pilsner glass. If you don't have a drink blender (I don't) then shaking obviously does the trick.

For the garnish use one spear for three maraschino cherries and the pineapple chunk. Place horizontally on the rim of the glass. It represents V for victory in Morse code •••—

This drink is a certified tiki classic from Don the Beachcomber during WWII, later decoded by Jeff Beachbum Berry, and republished in the Smuggler's Cove book, page 43.

PANORAMA

2 dashes chocolate bitters
¼ oz maple syrup
½ oz Amaro Averna
¾ oz mezcal espadín
¾ oz Black Blended Rum ❺
¾ oz overproof Pot Still Lightly Aged Rum ❶

Garnish: orange peel
Method: Build in glass, stirring with the rock. Garnish with an orange twist.

Stirring my way through the cold weather. I found it hard to pick out the base spirits. Rather, they intensified the bitters and amaro bringing out strong spicy flavors balanced out nicely by the syrup. I found this one on IG chips_classic_cocktails.

SAZERAC

rinse glass with absinthe
3 dashes Peychauds bitters
¼ oz demerara syrup
2 oz Sazerac rye

Garnish: lemon peel
Method: Use an atomizer to rinse your serving glass with absinthe. Combine the remaining ingredients in a stirring glass with ice and stir. Strain into the glass, express lemon peel, and use as garnish.

Another boozy stir for a cold winter night. This version of the legendary cocktail comes from the book Cure: New Orleans drinks and how to mix 'em, page 29. I finally found an affordable bottle of Sazerac in Germany and thought the titular cocktail was the logical test pilot. For the photo I also tested a new lighting setup. Not 100% happy with it, but you gotta start somewhere.

HUMBUG OLD FASHIONED

2 dashes Angostura bitters
2 barspoons humbug spices
1 barspoon maple syrup
1 oz apple brandy
1 oz rye

Garnish: orange peel
Method: Combine all ingredients with ice in a stirring glass and stir. Strain over a large rock, express orange peel, and garnish.

I saw this original from @CityzenWhit@c.im and knew I had to stir it up pronto! It uses a fun combo ingredient called Humbug Spices from Brian "shakerofspirits" Maxwell (see link for recipe). A delicious sipper!

“A common story that I’ve been told by locals is that the #recipe is held by only five individuals at any time – one of whom is always the English #monarch – and that all five must agree to when #Bitters are made, thereby limiting over-production. Another story is that each of the five only have a portion of the recipe and that they must come together in order to produce Bitters, and that ingredients for #AngosturaBitters arrive in #Trinidad in unmarked containers, loaded onto unmarked trucks bound for the plant.” — Ramin Ganeshram

Hi! #Introductions seem customary here, so here goes.

My name is Alex and I go by Larix in most online spaces—either is welcome. Broadly, I make drinks and talk about them. I love experimenting with flavors and techniques, and I share what I learn. #cocktails (both alcoholic and non, examples in the replies), #coffee #tea and fountain-style #sodas and I'm working on starting my own #bitters company.

I'm here at the direction of @LoadingReadyRun and I'm looking forward to meeting y'all. Cheers!

This evening’s cocktail: The Negroni Spagliato Spritz

1 oz Campari
1 oz sweet red vermouth
4 oz Prosecco (or in this case cremante - whatever bubbly you have on hand)
Dash Angostura orange bitters
Orange peel garnish (I don’t have this tonight)

Very refreshing, with the delicious bitter profile of a classic Negroni, but much lower alcohol content (Prosecco instead of gin), so one can guzzle a few. I think this might be my summer cocktail of 2023.

#CocktailOfTheWeek

Renaissance
- 2 ounces #brandy
- 1 ounce sweet vermouth
- 1/4 ounce #limoncello
- 2 dashes peach bitters
Garnish: Lemon twist

Stir with ice. Strain into a #cocktail glass.

As we all know, #bitters are a crucial ingredient for many #cocktails. A few old recipes referred to (defunct) peach bitters. When Fee Brothers began producing them I took it on myself to see if I could come up with a few cocktails that might be able to make good use of it.
