Cocktails, the libationary art!@lemmy.worldEnglish · 13 days ago

At the weekend, I decided to make some cocktails (this one, in case anyone is curious).

I don’t make cocktails very often, so I don’t have very expensive gear. I’ve been using a protein shaker. It’s not pretty, but it gets the job done.

So it was around 1am on Saturday night when I decided it would be a great idea. I got everything ready and started shaking. A few seconds later, the bottom of the shaker breaks and I splash sticky passion fruit all over my kitchen. We’re talking walls, windows, fridge, chairs…

It was during that fun clean up that I decided it was probably time I invested in a decent shaker!

Can anyone in Europe recommend a decent Boston shaker? It seems all the recommendations online are for American brands that don’t sell on this side of the pond.

I’m using this one: https://vacuvin.com/products/cocktail-shaker-tin-on-tin-boston-stainless-steel

I’m happy with it, but I haven’t tried any other one so it’s hard to compare! I had it for 2 years, and it still seals well at least.

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.
