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.

A martini for Saturday night (ETA: made it to the store finally)
2 oz vodka
1oz Elderflower Liqueur
1/4 oz Green Chartreuse
3/4 oz lemon juice
Absinthe
Place coupe in freezer while measuring and mixing. Shake first 4 ingredients with ice. Take glass from freezer and rinse with absinthe then add the drink. This is garnished with longan fruit from a can, lychee or rambutan or sweet grapes would be great too.
One more edit to say this was ridiculously good. I want to call it Ice Queen (based on the flavor) but see there is already a rum drink by that name. That was what it tastes like though. I guess as there is a Pokemon named Froslass who is an ice/ghost this will be the Froslass Martini.
