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.

Another of the Cima Summer cocktail. Twice the Fire tincture this time. Pineapple juice still great in here. Teeny pinch of salt in it instead of tajin/salt garnish. Not a great picture, but a great drink.
Speaking of garnish - I'm completely unable to do the tajin rim, it's too coarse to stick. If anyone has advice on that I'd be grateful. Last night did lime wheels halfway dipped in the tajin/salt mixture instead, very visually attractive and keeps the condiments out of the drink for those who don't want them in it - and definitely no pineapple leaf as it was a casual party not paid event!
