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.

Just made my family all Ramos gin fizzes. And you might say "oh wow, they must have some beefy arms!" And I do thank you (not really), but really I was just trying out the new milk frother device that I got for Christmas. And I have to say it works a little too good. I tried it on a blackcurrant gin sour a few nights ago and it made waaaaay too much foam on top. So I got the idea to make Ramos gin fizzes instead to excellent results! I just put all the ingredients in the shaker tin, froth it up for a minute, add the ice for a final shake to chill, and then add it to the collins glass with tonic. Worked perfectly and my arms will thank me tomorrow!
