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.

We can get great coffee in walking distance, grocery, drugstore, restaurants but no very local bar. Obviously don't want to go in a car to drink and occasionally (today) it would just be so nice to have a local place. Not for, like, a night of partying and not for a fancy dinner. Just one or two drinks and walk home.

Do you have a local bar and do you ever go there?

Nope. I’m a full mile from the closest stop light. Gotta love suburbia.

Sorry, I am not from the us and need an explanation. Do you mean a mile (1,609km) is considered too far to walk? Or do you mean you need a car to even get out of the suburbs because of limited walking paths?

It's possible to walk a mile drunk, but a person would consider driving intoxicated to avoid it, given the choice. So it's not "walkable from a bar," practically speaking. You'd be halfway home and think "this shit sucks, I should've taken the car."
