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.

My friend got a promotional bottle of Spiritless Kentucky 74. He runs a bar and he's been looking for more NA options for the sober folk like me. So we'll probably try an old fashioned or two, maybe a simple sour. Never had NA liquor before so I'm excited to try it.
Please let us know how this is. My haul for the sober folks at Thanksgiving so far is one bottle of sparkling pomegranate and one of "Eva's Spritz" from For Bitter or For Worse. And will make more ginger beer. But a NA bourbon or especially a tequila analogue would be so useful.
I'll try to remember to do so. As much as I dislike the company in general, Brewdog has some really great near beers if that helps. Athletic Brewing is good as well.
