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.

For 2024 we will have a monthly original cocktail challenge, I will try to announce the ingredients one month ahead to give everyone time to play with them and create something.

Rules are few:

Cocktail must be novel in some way, can be completely original or a variation on a standard. Unless one of the challenge ingredients is alcoholic, the cocktail can be non alcoholic, it just needs to be a drink you create that includes the ingredients.

Entries must include a picture, a description of your impressions (tasting notes, smell, mouth feel) and a recipe clear enough that a beginner could follow it.

Winner is most upvoted, because there is no other way to measure. (As a clarification - upvotes not net votes. A controversial but popular drink will win over a crowd pleaser in this challenge) Winner each month gets nothing but glory.

January Challenge is Kiwi and Mezcal!
