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.

I am absolutely sure my palate could not appreciate this enough to pay for it. I assume people are buying these to sell, not to drink but in the end someone must drink it for it to make any sense!

My more well off relatives will buy a case of good wine sometimes and hold it until it's best year to open. I don't like wine enough to do that, although because they are enthusiasts they are the people who can help me find wines I do like.

The only food or drink I can even imagine wanting to do this with is cheese. Cocktails I think of more as a puzzle, what can I put together to create synergy, not so dependent on an individual element. Wine I just don't like enough.

Do you collect, store any wine or liquor or other consumable food or drink to hold until it's perfect?

I’ve got a well aged bottle of Svedka, just waiting for a special occasion to open. It’s aging in a glass bottle but I’m looking into a nice decanter. ;p
