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.
Havent decided yet, Ive been exploring cognac drinks lately as I picked up a bottle of H last week. So far the burnt fuselage has been a winner in my eyes, but Ill probably try some other cognac cocktails
A simple gin martini.
Tonight we did have the Cima Summer cocktail, I had made fresh pineapple juice, and my friend was visiting so I batched two rounds just before the visit and shook them with ice to drink.
It's too fussy to be in the regular rotation but so delicious.
I'm feeling thirsty for Jägermeister with energy drinks
Probably a Negroni! Bordiga’s bitter is a great Campari alternative.
