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.

Having a paper plane before supper. Yes again, a weeknight cocktail, Mondays have been difficult lately. Nice aperitif before a dinner of pork loin, broccoli, black beans and rice. Double bourbon as always, it's a magical combination but original specs not quite right for me.
And for those of you who are the cooks in your family - I shake up a drink, park it in the freezer, finish cooking then sit down and relax with the drink before calling everyone to dinner. Often with the husband while he has a beer (he does the post dinner cleanup).
If anyone has ideas for Friday synchronization please post them in that pinned thread.
