Reid Nelson @reidnelson.bsky.social · 21/05/2025Recipe: 2oz Plymouth Gin 1/4oz Elderflower Liquer 1/4oz Grenadine 2 dashes orange bitters Add ingredients to a mixing glass, stir with ice, and strain over a large cube of ice. Tutorials for the garnishes are on Instagram/TikTok 020
Reid Nelson @reidnelson.bsky.social · 21/05/2025Haven’t posted here in a while, but hoping to get back into the habit starting with these humming birds from a couple of weeks ago. I think these are my favorite garnishes I have ever made. The cocktail was an Elder Fashioned riff with a little bit of grenadine. #cheers 🍸🥂 291
Reid Nelson @reidnelson.bsky.social · 26/03/2025If you’re ever in DC, I highly recommend Silver Lyan! Really creative menu, fantastic drinks, and super friendly staff. This was my first drink: spirit forward, but a little tart, a little savory, and the candied pinecone was a nice touch! #cheers 🍸 0110
Reid Nelson @reidnelson.bsky.social · 15/03/2025Yea that sounds delicious! Blueberry, lemon, and mint are wonderful together 000
Reid Nelson @reidnelson.bsky.social · 15/03/2025Love this! 👏🏻 Also love the idea of mint simple syrup in a White Lady. This sounds good! 100

Reid Nelson @reidnelson.bsky.social · 14/03/2025Hey thanks for the feedback! Yea, let me see what I can do to make this easier to follow. I’ve thought about a longer form version where I can actually explain, give tips, etc., but the 60sec limit makes that tough and I don’t really want to send people off app to YouTube or something like that.. 110
Reid Nelson @reidnelson.bsky.social · 12/03/202526 because so don’t know which way is up on down on that scale! But I wouldn’t recommend it after your first drink…honesty probably not before either 😅 010
Reid Nelson @reidnelson.bsky.social · 12/03/2025New garnish video! This one is one that I use most on a day to day basis, and honestly most of the garnishes I post are just some variation on this template. #garnish #cocktailgarnish #cocktails #cheers 🍸 2172
Reid Nelson @reidnelson.bsky.social · 06/03/2025I got a bunch of AoT references from my (unintentional) wings of freedom garnish, so I thought I’d try a Naruto themed one this time. #cheers 🍸 0111
Reid Nelson @reidnelson.bsky.social · 03/03/2025They might be getting a little over the top, but I’m having fun with these haha 💁♂️ 110
Reid Nelson @reidnelson.bsky.social · 03/03/2025New garnish video: This time, a garnish idea for cocktails served over a large cube. #cocktail #garnish #cocktailgarnish #tutorial #cheers🍸 5180
Reid Nelson @reidnelson.bsky.social · 26/02/2025Here’s the latest garnish video. I had to break it into 2 parts again. @bsky.app, can we get 90 second videos pls? 🙏 #garnish #cocktailgarnish #cocktail #tutorial #cheers 🍸 1/2 160
Reid Nelson @reidnelson.bsky.social · 25/02/2025Tailspin is a great shout! I love a Bijou, and Death & Co puts out some great drinks. Looking forward to trying this one 010
Reid Nelson @reidnelson.bsky.social · 24/02/2025Thanks! I’m planning to put together a video this week 000
Reid Nelson @reidnelson.bsky.social · 23/02/2025It’s tasty, but doesn’t compare to a classic Paper Plane in my opinion. It lacks a bit of the roundness and orange notes from the Nonino that complement the Aperol so well, and the anise notes from the Chartreuse are pretty pronounced in the finish and just feel a little out of place. 020
Reid Nelson @reidnelson.bsky.social · 23/02/2025I felt like this garnish belonged on a Paper Plane riff. This one was created in 2018 by Callum Rixson at Hideout in Bath, England: Last Flight 3/4oz Bourbon 3/4oz Aperol 3/4oz Green Chartreuse 3/4oz Lemon Juice Shake with ice, strain into chilled coupe, and garnish with lemon peel. #cheers 🍸 170
Reid Nelson @reidnelson.bsky.social · 22/02/2025As for idea to make soon: East Side (either the classic gin base or tequila is fantastic) Debbie, Don’t Paris is Burning Enzoni These have all been top of mind for me to make again soon 110
Reid Nelson @reidnelson.bsky.social · 22/02/2025This feed is the best I know of so far using #cheers or 🍸 but I’d love to find more tags or feeds too bsky.app/profile/did:... 320
Reid Nelson @reidnelson.bsky.social · 20/02/2025For this one I’d recommend making the garnish before you build your drink. If you let the peel dry out a little bit, it will naturally twist up a little more and hold its shape better. 040
Reid Nelson @reidnelson.bsky.social · 20/02/2025How to make this lime peel garnish. I had to break this into two parts as a thread because BlueSky doesn’t allow videos longer then 60 seconds, and I couldn’t get it any shorter. #cocktail #cocktailgarnish #garnish #tutorial #cheers 🍸 1/2 181
Reid Nelson @reidnelson.bsky.social · 20/02/2025Came here to say Enzoni. I think the highest praise I can give it is that my wife hates Campari, but loves an Enzoni. 120
Reid Nelson @reidnelson.bsky.social · 20/02/20251. I love an East Side, but I prefer the specs without soda water. 2. Someone already said Enzoni, and I second that vote. It’s wonderful and a pretty approachable introduction to Campari. 3. Paris is Burning, but it’s split base Gin-Mezcal so that might not be what you’re going for. 120
Reid Nelson @reidnelson.bsky.social · 17/02/2025I had lots of lemons, so this week’s garnish video is a lemon peel garnish that starts out similar to last week’s, but goes in a different direction that I find to be a little less finicky. #cocktail #garnish #cocktailgarnish #tutorial #cheers🍸 4200
Reid Nelson @reidnelson.bsky.social · 15/02/2025Take 2 on the garnish video I posted earlier this week. Hopefully this one is a little easier to follow. #garnish #cocktail #cocktailgarbish #tutorial #cheers 🍸 070
Reid Nelson @reidnelson.bsky.social · 14/02/2025Tonight’s #cocktail to celebrate finally finding some Chartreuse in stock: Naked and Famous -3/4oz Mezcal -3/4oz Aperol -3/4oz Yellow Chartreuse -3/4oz Lime juice Add ingredients to a shaking tin, shake with ice, double strain into a chilled coupe, and garnish with a lime peel. #cheers 🍸 1100
Reid Nelson @reidnelson.bsky.social · 13/02/2025Love a split base gin/tequila cocktail. Definitely going on my list! 010
Reid Nelson @reidnelson.bsky.social · 13/02/2025Found these in stock near me yesterday! What should I add to my list of drinks to make soon? Last Word (of course) Closing Argument Naked and Famous Bijou … #cheers 🍸 480
Reid Nelson @reidnelson.bsky.social · 12/02/2025If you let the peels dry out a little they get a lot more pliable. If I’m doing something prone to snapping I’ll usually try to cut the peel ~20 minutes before I’m actually going to use the garnish or use limes that have sat out on the counter several days and are close to being over ripe. 100
Reid Nelson @reidnelson.bsky.social · 12/02/2025Weekly-ish garnish video: I came up with this as a more intricate option that still doesn’t require a giant swath of an orange or grapefruit peel. I’d love feedback on whether I should redo this one. I’m not sure if it’s too hard to follow the twisting part. #garnish #cocktailgarnish #cheers 🍸 171
Reid Nelson @reidnelson.bsky.social · 07/02/2025Another easy garnish idea for valentines day. I’m keeping with the heart theme here but making it just a little more interesting. #garnish #cocktail #cocktailgarnish #cheers 🍸 051
Reid Nelson @reidnelson.bsky.social · 04/02/2025This week’s garnish is an easy heart-shaped citrus peel for Valentine’s Day. #garnish #cocktail #tutorial #cheers 🍸 0112
Reid Nelson @reidnelson.bsky.social · 30/01/2025I’m going to try to start posting these garnish videos weekly, mostly just to force myself to keep trying out new ones. This one is an easy, kinda funky garnish that works well with smaller peels like limes. #garnish #cocktail #cheers 🍸 0131
