I can't drink alcohol, my body doesn't process it correctly. :( But I got a nice bottle of sparkling apple and pear cider!
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.
Stick around, I love non alcoholic fancy drinks and very low alcohol stuff made with kombucha/tepache/ginger beer too!
I got some Benedictine, finally, so I’m gonna be making drinks with that. The stuff is delicious.
Amaro and Topo. It’ll mainly be Meleti, but I might pick up something else if I’m not too lazy
To be perfectly honest, I'm not sure.
Leaning towards a Sour (Whisky or Amaretto are my favorites), or something creamy like a Brandy Alexander.
That food and drink sounds fabulous. Only question- what brand and flavor of sardines and other fishy delights?
A variety. The Moroccan ones are AlShark, the Wild Planet are my everyday ones, the others husband picked up. Also there are shrimp and a salmon dip I made.
We’re making coquito and Champaign cocktails. Both from Anders Ericsson on YouTube. The coquito we discovered during our recent trip to Puerto Rico.
Are you swapping the tequila for champagne in the Margarita? If not, maybe call it a Spanish 75? You could probably even find some Spanish sparkling wine.
I'll probably be having some variation on a Tom Collins because it's my fiance's favorite drink. Maybe I'll grab some champagne and add some Luxardo Bitter Bianco to mine, and make it some kind of cross between a French 75 and an amaro spritz
No, I was thinking tequila, orange liqueur, champagne (or similar sparkling white) and lime plus maybe a little sweetener.
But I'm not sure I will buy champagne if nobody is coming over, we have only 3 drinking age people, and nobody is big on wine.
