The Belmont (ish)

a month ago by RBWells to c/cocktails

2 oz Glenglassaugh

0.5 oz Galliano

0.5 oz Giffard Abricot

1 oz lemon

1 inch piece ginger

Small spoonful brown sugar

Shake everything with ice, strain into a glass over new ice. Very nice! Galliano is underrated.

Wow Galliano is a name I haven't heard for a while. I drank a lot of it 15 years ago.

Just a piece of ginger in the shaker? No muddling or pressing it?

Yeah I just shook it but could taste it. The original recipe calls for peach liqueur, not apricot, & ginger syrup. I didn't have either. Nice fresh ginger, peeled, and it did come through in flavor.

Interesting, I'll have to try it, it is kind of a pain to muddle ginger. Looks really tasty anyways!

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.
