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.
Keeping up with my little chartreuse theme, here is my all-time favorite equal-parts cocktail.
Seriously, so good! Tart, complex, refreshing; it really has it all.
This is my wife's favorite cocktail.(Has been for years now)
As an aside. What's a decent alternative to green chartreuse, since it's impossible to find?
I haven’t run out yet, so I don’t have any first-hand suggestions! But I found this article to be interesting, I think I originally found it after I read a times article about the monks cutting back production. I’d be curious to hear how any of them are if people have tried!

My favorite equal part cocktail is definitely the paper plane, a variant. Bourbon, Aperol, Amaro Nonino, Line juice.
Yes! That’s a great one.
Man this reminds me I need to make a Corpse Reviver No. 2 soon.
So that's 1oz lime juice in addition to the lime wedge there? Your list doesn't mention the wedge. Do you typically squeeze it before drinking?
Good call out, I should have mentioned the garnish; I decorate with that thinly sliced lime round, just because I think it’s cute! It’s not big enough to squeeze or really change the acidity of the drink, it’s just cut super thin so it floats on top.
