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.

Update: it's good! I think I went a little heavy on the lemon, it's overpowering things slightly. Interesting flavor profile. It's not something I'm used to but I'm really enjoying it!
Yeah I find it hard to measure 3/4oz too, and mine was also a little sour but I went very light on the sweetener since Chartreuse is so sweet and cognac kinda sweet already. But the flavors were so nice together.
I'm being not-quite dry for January, not drinking much, apparently others too as it's been slooow here. Got some of those bitter Italian sodas (Crodino this time, other years it's been Chinotto, think I prefer the Chinotto), those are pretty good when you don't want to drink but want something like an appertif/digestif.
