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.

For August, create a cocktail with Aperol.

Rules as usual - post entire recipe and a review, entries must be novel creations or variations; most upvoted wins.

I'm not entering the contest but wrapping up August with an Aperol cocktail and maybe the best one, an adjusted Paper Plane.

2oz bourbon

1.5 oz lemon

1 oz Aperol

1 oz Amaro Nonino

Splash of Campari

Shaken and strained half into a couple, half into a little cup to put in the freezer, but both are for me tonight. Happy end of August, last day to enter or vote.
