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.

morgenthaler‘s, made with cointreau & a dash of simple. try agave nectar if you can get some.
https://jeffreymorgenthaler.com/margarita/
2oz tequila
1oz orange liqueur

Shaken with ice.
Strain over more ice.
This is my baseline.
If I have them, I'll add 1oz mezcal and 1/2oz agave nectar.
I'm particular to a more tart margarita, this was the recipe from a restaurant I bartended at for a while, it was a big hit with the BBQ crowd
