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 some reason, Negronis, as well as Aperitif like Aperol or Campari, never taste good in my mouth, and believe me, I've tried so hard to like them, but there's always that strong bitter note on the base of my tongue every time.
I can't manage to like them either, but the frozen version with orange juice is better - maybe that would be your gateway Negroni; also I find them hyper sweet, if that is part of your dislike, the sbagliato - try diluting it with sparkling wine or sparkling water.
Campari I do like as an ingredient in fruity drinks, it is so good in lighter drinks, that bitterness is welcome. And I love mustard greens, horseradish, grapefruit, it's not a problem with bitter, it's bitter and so sweet I find off-putting.
I don't mind all kinds of mustards (including wasabi). Fresh grapefruit taste okay, but the longer they sit the more bitter it gets for me. I also like dark chocolate up to 75%.
