Cocktails, the libationary art!
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.

If we’re looking for egg white and no lemon juice, I’d go for a Pisco sour!
I have a bottle of Pisco we used to make a dessert, now I have something else to make with it!
Let's see...I don't have ideas with the Pisco... Having lime juice, simple syrup and angostura bitters in the same cocktail is making this tougher than I expected.
Wanting to represent Kentucky, I want to take one of those and pair with bourbon, so let's do a Kentucky Mule.
3 ounces of bourbon
3/4 ounce of lime juice
Around 8oz of Ginger beer (Fever Tree has a decent one for Mules)
I would have gone for something a bit more complex, but I came up blank on a bourbon Cocktail that didn't have both simple syrup and angostura bitters.
The rules say you only have to include one ingredient, so this one counts!
Looks good, too; I'll have to try this one. I love drinks with egg whites; they're so... mellow.
Pisco Punch, Asada!
2oz Pisco
1/2oz lemon
1oz roasted pineapple syrup
Well damn, you posted this just a couple minutes before I finished posting mine. This sounds delicious though!
Ok, I will use yours for this one. So from:
*_Is it cheating if I use a drink I mostly got from you and posted an earlier version of here? Lol So I’ll re-use the lemon juice. 2oz of Knob Creek Bourbon (or choose your favorite, I’m not the boss of you) 1oz of Drillaud’s raspberry liquor 1oz of lemon juice 1oz of Amaro Montenegro
Shake with ice and pour, then use a smoke with a Cocktail smoker (I’ve found apple wood chips works really well with this).
It’s makes for a great spring and early summer cocktail, refreshing and a bit sweet but not overly so._*
I take the Amaro Montenegro and make an adjusted Paper Plane riff:
2oz Evan Williams bottled-in-bond
1oz lime juice (since lemon is out of bounds)
1oz Amaro Montenegro
1/2 oz Aperol, 1/2 oz Campari.
Shake and pour into chilled coupe.
ETA: I made it! It's delicious!
