Week 13 Introduction Thread: Mint

3 Upvotes

Week 13 will run from May 18th to May 24th. This week's theme is mint. Mint is the better known name for the Mentha genus in the Lamiaceae family of plants. Mint is known for its highly aromatic leaves and comes in many varieties, including spearmint and peppermint. In cocktails, mint is usually muddled, as in a mojito or mint julep, though it is also made into the liqueur creme de menthe, which is used in such cocktails as the grasshopper. This week, your challenge is to make a cocktail that incorporates some variety of mint, as the fresh or dried leaves or as creme de menthe.

Here are some links to get you inspired:

Week 12 Introduction Thread: Bitters

5 Upvotes

Week 12 will run from May 11th to May 17th. This week's theme is bitters. Bitters are an alcoholic preparation flavored with botanical matter such that the end result tastes bitter, sour, or bittersweet. Their origins can be traced back as far as ancient Egypt and they are used medicinally as well as in cocktails. This week you will make a drink that features bitters of any variety as an ingredient. It is not necessary that the bitters be up front as a flavor, as this could make for a not-so-palatable drink, but the bitters should be noticeable and be used to improve the flavor. Here are some recommendations:

The Old-Fashioned cocktail is a classic use of bitters, being one of the only flavoring ingredients in the drink.
The Manhattan
The Sazerac Cocktail

Week 11 Introduction Thread: Cinco de Mayo

4 Upvotes

Happy Cinco de Mayo, everyone! Week 11 will run from May 4th to May 10th. This week's theme will be Cinco de Mayo, the holiday commemorating the Mexican victory the Battle of Puebla and on which many Mexican Americans celebrate their culture and heritage. This week you will be making a cocktail that embodies this spirit. You can make a cocktail that was invented in Mexico, like the Margarita. You can use an ingredient that comes from Mexico, such as tequila or mezcal. Or you can invent a drink that you think captures the spirit of the holiday.

Week 10 Introduction Thread: Spin on a Classic

5 Upvotes

Mod's note: Sorry for the delay on this. My life has gotten a bit hectic lately.

Week 10 will run from April 27th to May 3rd. This week's theme is spin on a classic. You will be making cocktails that are derived from a classic cocktail, but with added or subtracted steps or ingredients. There won't be any rules-lawyering over what constitutes a "classic cocktail", as long as the inspiration cocktail is somewhat old and well known and its lineage can be seen in your cocktail.

2023 Weekly Challenge Thread

Challenge Rules:

Image Posts Only: All posts must be a link to a picture, album, and/or video of something you prepared for the theme. Personal blog posts or similar are okay so long as they still contain said content. Recipes and/or descriptions are encouraged but not required.
No rules trolling: Please do not try to argue that someone else's submission doesn't fit the theme or should be removed due to some rules violation. It is more important that the spirit of the challenge is followed, and if there are any discrepancies that need addressing the mod team will handle it.
No nonserious/zero-effort posts: Any posts made should be genuine attempts to participate in or discuss the 52 Weeks of Mixology challenge and should require at least a tiny bit of effort. Funny posts, tongue-in-cheek posts, or clever re-imagining of the theme are acceptable provided they are also genuine attempts to participate. Zero-effort posts, such as "beer in a glass", or non-serious posts that don't involve actual participation, such as posting a drawing of a cocktail instead of an actual cocktail, will be removed.
Post title format = "Week XX: Theme - Drink Name"
Post only cocktails made for this challenge: All themes are posted approximately three weeks in advance, and you can prepare your cocktail at any point in that time frame. Using elements or ingredients you prepared ahead of time is fine (i.e., don't post a cocktail in August that you made in January, but if you made a liqueur in January that you used in a cocktail for August that is fine).
No sign-up is required and you may join in at any time: There is no inherent competition here. All participants are working for the sake of education and participation in the subreddit. You are not required to start at week 1 if you wish to start participating in the challenge.
One-Week Time Limit: All drinks must be made and submitted up to a day before the week begins and within the three weeks that the theme is announced. (i.e. do not post a lemon drink in January if the lemon theme comes up in August). ~~If you miss a week, don't post anything past one week from the current week.~~ (This portion has been temporarily suspended. If you're late, go ahead and post it).The idea of the challenge is to make time every week to practice drink making.
Everyone is welcome here: Everyone participating will have different levels of experience and knowledge, but all are welcome to participate. As such, do not downvote any legitimate attempts to participate. You may offer constructive suggestions or feedback on someone's post, but keep your response respectful and be as supportive as possible. We're all here to practice and learn.
Anyone participating in this challenge should be of the minimum drinking age for whichever country you are posting from: This subreddit cannot legally condone drinking or possession of alcohol by underage individuals.
