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.

Can you at least add another moderator who's willing to moderate then so this community can grow in the meantime? Right now you're just squatting here to advertise a different community.
I resigned from my reddit moderating and would be happy to help out here if you want.
I'd be happy to moderate too, but it depends entirely on the one person who's gatekeeping access to the community.
Please let me know your Reddit username. I'll choose one of you to moderate here on a temporary basis based on who has a more positive history with /r/Cocktails.
If the mods of /r/Cocktails choose to move to Lemmy, then we'll discuss whether to make that position permanent. If we do not move to Lemmy, I will fully cede control.
