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 was an experiment but I took a sip and literally exclaimed "oh my God, this is so good!". It's almost savory somehow.
A weekday level drink, not a heavy hitter.
1 oz bourbon 94 proof Elijah Craig
1/2 oz mezcal, the good one - Del Maguey
1/2 oz Cherry Heering
2 oz fizzy lemonade (I mixed one part simple syrup one part lemon super juice two parts Topo Chico)
Shake (it was all in the shaker before I remembered the fizz but it was fine)
Might fuss with the proportions but yum, not much.
