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.

Do you like savory cocktails? I don't like Bloody Marys (tomato juice) and don't like martini, but it seems like there should be something, somehow, that doesn't taste like gazpacho or a cup of straight booze and brine.

I like sweet/salty, like salted chocolate or caramel, like sour/salty in foods so much. Salt on margarita rim I can take or leave, good either way.

Maybe what I am looking for is not a straight up savory cocktail but something with a salt element and not very sweet. Any recommendations?

Have you had a gimlet? A martini with cocktail onions instead of olives. I had one once with Blue Coat barrel aged gin and it was fantastic.
