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 a looker but it's nice.
2oz bourbon
1.5oz orange liqueur, 1oz vanilla liqueur

Just came over my news feed and seemed very related in flavor; this one might work for the no-bourbon crowd.
Just wanted to chime in and say that I’m lurking your posts and I really enjoy what you make. Keep posting!
Actually that looks really nice! It’s Negroni season for me, when the weather starts to get cooler. Dead of winter turns to whiskey and scotch.
One thing I could never get over is mixing bourbon or scotch. It’s definitely a ME thing, and I wish I could enjoy cocktails like that!
Pineapple juice & whiskey is the gateway cocktail. Make some fresh pineapple juice and just taste it mixed with even a float of Scotch OMG, so delicious! Bourbon on vanilla ice cream is so good too.
Shopping mall memories! That looks pretty close to the ones they served up there.
