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.
2 oz Evan Williams bottled-in-bond
3/4 oz guava liqueur (see note)
3/4 oz Chinola passion fruit liqueur
1 oz lemon juice
Shaken.
It's every bit as good as it sounds. Not too sweet but fruity and boozy.
Note: the guava is guava jam jar rinsed out with vodka, this trick courtesy of the brilliant Claire Lower of lifehacker.
Can't get these exact ingredients where I live but I love the tip using the booze rinsed guava jam jar.
For that note, do you literally mean an empty jar of jam refilled with vodka and shaken? That's brilliant.
Yes rinse it with vodka, basically.
Ohh nevermind. I thought this trick made a lot more than just a couple ounces. I suppose that makes sense though, still handy.
I filled the jar halfway but I guess that is just 4-5oz. It's so very delicious though, and Claire Lower always seems to find ideas like that - I am an experienced cook and usually when there is some tip online it's something I am already doing and not helpful but she brings up ideas that seem so obvious once I try them but things I never thought of. Leftover Halloween chocolate candy into pancakes is another of her tips that is so unexpectedly good.
