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.
Wrapping up the weekend with a whiskey sour, a variation that came through my news feed, with orange juice (I have Tangelos, fantastic tangy juice) and absinthe (used Lucid)
I made this with scotch, as I have no rye, and it definitely needed 2x the lemon. Feeling more indulgent about the egg white than the Scotch! I think this would work with Angel's Envy bourbon very well, better than the Scotch and maybe better than rye but alas, as I have already mentioned I am waiting to buy anything.
Just for searchability and accessibility... Here are the ingredients and instructions from the image:

Price of eggs can seriously get bent. Gosh it is a necessity for this cocktail. That looks amazing.
Nice foam head on this one! I usually make my whiskey sours with bourbon. You don't need anything real expensive to make a good whiskey sour.
Me too - usually Evan Williams Bottled-in-Bond, talk about inexpensive, that is our workhorse but even that is used up. So many parties in the last few months , birthdays, a wedding, holidays. I will restock next month hopefully but it is kind of fun finding ways to use what is here.
The Scotch is Benromach 10, better than it's price for sure.
Interesting twist! I have to say though the best Whiskey Sour I’ve ever had comes from Suderman
Reverse dry shaken, and then a bunch of Angostura drops on top of the foam of the finished drink.
Why egg?
Smooths flavor, adds texture. And I suppose nutrition, too.
What OP answered. Extra tip: You can use a little bit of aquafaba as a perfect alternative, if you don't want egg in your drinks.
