The 1600 cocktail. The website hosting the recipe seems to be offline but it’s from East Imperial Tonic Water.

50ml / 1 ¾ oz Premium Aged Rum.

5ml / ⅙ oz Orgeat.

15ml / ½ oz Cold Brew Coffee.

150ml / 5 oz East Imperial Grapefruit Tonic.

Fresh Orange Slice.

Stirred everything but the soda (I used a spoonful of tonic syrup and 150ml of Fever Tree grapefruit soda) and no I can’t measure 5ml of orgeat, just poured as little as I could.

It’s a lot better than it sounds, honestly. The coffee makes it. And hello to the 1,600 of you!

Orgeat: A sweet syrup made from sugar and almonds (or originally barley) and rose water or orange flower water.w

Interesting. I usually like coffee and alcohol.

Orgeat is one of those ingredients where homemade is WAY better. Here is the recipe I use.

I made one from avocado pits once, as a zero waste thing, that was quite good. I did buy a syrup for this one, keeps longer than homemade.

Did you toast the pits? Or use any almonds? How was the flavor? Any tips?

Create post

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.
