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.
Someone posted about frozen cocktails and mentioned this one from Jeffrey Morganthaler, and my interest was piqued! It was interesting to see Campari in this context; the bitterness was different from what you normally get from a frozen drink, and added a nice complexity.
Mix with 8 oz ice in a blender, then blend until smooth, adding extra ice as necessary. Garnish with an orange wedge.
Always down to try a Morganthaler recipe! I'll be trying this with my next bottle of vermouth for sure.
Nice Spiegelau glass
Thanks! ❤️
They’re made for IPAs but I thought it would be cute here.
Nice! I love me a negroni, and this hot weather calls for frosty drinks.
You did it!
I don't like a Negroni but might actually try this one, and perhaps acid-adjust the OJ, since my main issue with it is the hyper intensity of the sweetness, diluted & frozen like this might actually work.
I did it! I think you have plenty of room to play in this recipe; the quantity and dilution should make it easy to tweak. Let me know if you try it!
Damn that's looking good!
❤️
