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.

Had a cocktail hour at my house (well, a cocktail 3 hours), made the Cima Summer cocktail and can vouch for it, fussy but ridiculously delicious.
Fresh pineapple juice (I juiced them), Chinola passion fruit liqueur, El Padrino mezcal joven, the Ancho Reyes Verde, key lime juice fresh (yep juiced all those little ones). A fire tincture of homegrown habanero pepper & achiote paste. Batched the liquor part of it earlier, to make it easier. Slightly more tequila than recipe to make the proportions easier to measure for the number of drinks I expected to make.
