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.
I haven't had time or funds to go to the liquor store, out of the staples, so am left with a very odd assortment of ingredients. This recipe made very good use of some things I had on hand. The cinnamon doesn't add much flavor, it's more of a sensation - very nice!
Where did you get the screenshot from ? It it an app ? a website ? I would like to know more.
There is a foss app called "drinkable" that is very good and under very active development.
I use this one already, but that's not the one in the screenshot.
Mixel app, from a recommendation in this community , actually. It's pretty good. I went ahead and got the paid version cause I like it, but the free is pretty good too.
The way it's off center is triggering me
You center the drink on the coaster? I apologize for the picture overall actually - bad composition all round, but the drink was such a lovely color.
(If it helps, look at the post overall - the diagonal line from the drink to the screenshot may restore serenity to your mind.)
Now it'll trigger a whole lot more, me included.
Rhubarb liquor is something you have on hand?
Someone gave it to me as a gift. Also have 2 bottles of Nixta acquired the same way. So was pretty happy to find the drink that used it like this, grapefruit and mezcal is so good, and the oddball addition of rhubarb and cinnamon works beautifully, it is a cohesive flavor.
Sounds good. I like grapefruit cocktails. The combination is definitely not something you see everyday.
Can't say I've ever had that. Very specific!
