I just polished off my bottle of Power's Rye. But I feel like there's a good riff on a black Manhattan out there with Power's Rye, splash of Guinness, and, uh, Irish amaro?

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.

Any whiskey drink with Irish whiskey and a Guinness topper had been on my mind but I decided against buying more whiskey just for this context
Empty a cadbury egg. Mix Baileys and Irish whiskey. Pour it into the chocolate egg shell. Happy Easter.
Bwahaha, sneaking in at the end! This sounds terrible! Would you like to choose the ingredients for the May challenge?
I was given a bottle of sotol and I'm not sure how to use it. I feel like subbing it for tequila in a margarita is kind of wasting its uniqueness. I'd like to see what other people are doing with it. If that's too unpopular, summer is coming and I love rum punches but they're always too sweet. The sugar kicks my ass before the alcohol hits me. I'd love to see some great recipes for a nice dark Caribbean or Jamaican rum that balance the sweetness instead of adding to it.
I think a "dry rum" is a good idea for May, and I too would like to see ideas for a less sweet rum drink.
The sotol, I see a recipe that looks like a mint julep, just has it poured over muddled mint, agave, and ice, with sliced lemon. I am not convinced but would try it. But I also believe in my heart a margarita style drink works with damn near anything. Something sweet, something boozy, something sour. It lets the spirit shine through but enough softening from the citrus and liqueur to actually taste it comfortably. Also - try it with a splash of fresh pineapple juice. And you can make a post with request for ideas
