If you’re here, you already care about the craft. This space is built for people who want to make better drinks, understand what they’re doing, and keep improving every time they step behind the bar (or home setup). No fluff. Just real progress. Here’s how to start (do this now): Drop a comment below and tell us: 1. Where are you from 2. Your level (beginner/enthusiast/bartender) 3. Your favourite cocktail right now 4. One thing you want to improve This is how you get value here: - Ask questions (simple or advanced — doesn’t matter) - Share your drinks (even if they’re not perfect) - Join the conversations - Give feedback to others 👉 The more you participate, the faster you improve First small challenge (optional, but do it): → Make your favourite cocktail this week → Post a photo or short video HERE → Tell us what you’d improve next time I’ll be here replying to everyone and helping where I can. Let’s build something strong together. If you’re ready to shake, stir, and elevate your craft — welcome. — Georgi

Community Rules ‼️
Hi, All. As you know, I posted some rules in October, but it is time for an update. It is 2025, and I will work hard to make this community the best in cocktails, mixology, and hospitality. To achieve this, I must implement regulations to foster a healthy community and protect everyone. Check all the rules and leave a comment to complete the action. THE RULES ✅ Please introduce yourself (if you haven't done it yet) and tell us more about yourself. We are here to make friends and assist one another with any matters related to this community's purpose. ‼️ Also, it will help you to reach Level 2. ✅ No promotions or any other phishing messages not related to the bar industry, spirits or cocktail recipes.

Espresso Mintini
an original of mine. This came about as I was having coffee after I had cleaned some mint. The mix felt right and I wondered if I could make a coffee mint drink. Quick search did not reveal anything in the same style (sure a milky icy coffee with 1/4 cup of sugar exist). After some tinkering I ended up with this. If you don’t have Jannamico Super Punch, Averna or Cynar would be a good sub. As for the rum anything rich and robust. I even tried with Planteray OFTD (1.25 oz (37.5ml)) with great results. Oh and you can muddle the mint but I always let the ice do that. The libation pleasingly brings the espresso ☕️ and mint 🌿 together, way better than drinking coffee after brushing your teeth 😜 . As one sips you get crème brûlée 🍮 burnt sugar, caramel, fancy molasses, slightly bitter dark chocolate with the maple syrup. I don’t add sugar or milk to my coffee thus I was judicious in the amount of sweetness used. When making it for yourself add the amount you prefer. If no maple syrup demerara or brown sugar. Make it your own. Espresso Mintini 1.5 oz (45ml) Navy Strength Dark Rum ½ oz (15ml) Jannamico Super Punch 2 oz (60ml) Strong Espresso (cooled) ½ oz (15ml) Demerara/Maple Syrup (To Taste) 3 dashes Chocolate Bitters 8-12 Mint Leaves Garnish 3 Mint

One thing I’ve learned working in hospitality:
Guests rarely remember every detail. They remember how they felt. A drink can be forgotten.A menu can be forgotten.Even the music can be forgotten. But people remember: - how they were greeted - whether they felt welcome - whether the room felt alive - whether someone genuinely paid attention The best hospitality professionals don’t just serve products. They shape atmosphere. Curious: What’s one small thing you’ve seen a bartender, host, server, or manager do that completely changed a guest’s experience?
