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.
Not July anymore, I'm having a drink before dinner, just thrown together with what looked good.
3 big sweet blackberries
2oz bourbon
1 oz orange liqueur
1/2 oz vanilla liqueur
1/2 oz lemon juice
Muddled then shook with ice.
Honestly could be a little sweeter. Blackberries are never as sweet as they seem. It's a one and done but if trying again, would muddle the fruit with sugar and then halve the orange liqueur, to get a more vanilla flavor. I was afraid of overdoing it.
Yum, blackberries always make for a good cocktail!
That's a weird way to spell "bourbon" π
I agree. I invented my own cocktail for them too using mezcal cause they are shockingly versatile and easy to work with.
My wife brought home some of the sweetest blackberries Iβve ever had the other day. Not sure where she got them but I bet thatβs what this needs.
I love blackberries with a more smokey or woody flavor but this sounds very nice.
I wonder if maybe some bitters might be useful.
