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.
Here it is. Not black like the picture, followed the directions but it came out a lovely pink. Smokey tart raspberry, pretty good but not amazing. I like tart drinks and hardly ever say this but this I think could be sweeter. I used good mezcal (Del Maguey) and think a rougher one might be better in here too, and a reposada tequila not claro.
Looks good from here! I’m noting this for the future.
Oh man a paper plane might be my favorite cocktail. Last night I tried a Palace Hotel, it was ok, but I think I prefer a Burnt Fuselage for my cognac drinks. Tonight I kept it simple and just did some whisky in my mulled apple cider
I double the bourbon (or half everything else, depends on the day) and that makes it absolutely perfect IMO. As equal parts it's a little sweet for me but with 2x bourbon I think it is my favorite drink, and the favorite of several people I've served it to.
Lindemanns Apfel Lambic, Belgian atmosphere never tasted so good. Sweet and dry and grassy and funky, all at once.
A light Sunday drink. 1.5oz Deep Eddy Grapefruit, .5oz mezcal, .5oz lime leaf syrup, 1oz lime juice. Shake, stir in Topo Chico, strain over fresh ice. Very refreshing. Husband is having the Jai Alai.
