Cocktails, the libationary art!

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.

This is another trend I'm unsure of, but a flight of shot sized cocktails I've done at parties, sets of 4-5 drinks in tiny cups so we can sample more variations, then usually we have one round of the winner. I do these when working up recipes.

Please note the prices on the article are AUD not USD, so not as crazy as they look.

How do you feel about half sized or smaller drinks? Would you buy them? I feel like it's a good idea but they should come in a set, like a flight or a bunch of them for the table to share, like appetizers.

Drink flights are great. I’ve seen Manhattan ones with different amaros. I was with a friend in Vegas and he’s never had a tiki drink before so he got a sampler flight. https://imgur.com/a/2JJnaXs

In general I wish martini drinks were smaller. Glasses used to be 6oz because you’re supposed to be able to finish it while it’s still ice cold.

Where is that tiki flight from?

The Golden Tiki in Las Vegas. Personally, I liked the Red Dwarf more, but both had great drinks.
