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.

Google recommended me the pink squirrel, and I think it looks novel and tasty, but finding the creme liquor required is impossible. Absolutely Maddening.

Hmm, I'd be tempted to make it, if I wanted some. Doesn't look more difficult than limoncello. But agree with you, even the well stocked online shops I use for stuff I can't get here (specifically- Giffard Abricot and Heirloom Pineapple Amaro), don't have Creme de Noyaux. Though some do. If you have a grocery store with a liquor store attached, those can sometimes special order stuff.

I wouldn't even know how to begin to make a special request. I don't have a rapport with anyone.
