A Saturday Highball

4 months ago by RBWells to c/cocktails

I made strawberry kvass (tepache de fresa) and wanted to leverage it. This came out a little too sweet for my preference but nice, round, fruity and I do love a pink cocktail.

2 oz tequila (Tequila Ocho Plata)

1 oz St Germain

1 scant oz lemon juice (juice of one not very juicy lemon)

Shaken together, then mixed with 3 oz of the kvass.

If you have never made a tepache/fruit kvass, just do it. Easy beginner level ferment project and so delicious you will want to do it again. Literally just fruit & sugar in water, stir twice a day with a clean spoon. (ETA: when it gets fizzy it's done, bottle & refrigerate)

Sounds tasty! Interesting about the kvass, I only tried it once and it was made from beetroot. Which wasn't that great haha. But I can see it being good with fruits!

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.
