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.

Sorry, I am not from the us and need an explanation. Do you mean a mile (1,609km) is considered too far to walk? Or do you mean you need a car to even get out of the suburbs because of limited walking paths?
It's possible to walk a mile drunk, but a person would consider driving intoxicated to avoid it, given the choice. So it's not "walkable from a bar," practically speaking. You'd be halfway home and think "this shit sucks, I should've taken the car."
I don't live in the suburbs, honestly that's why this bugs me. I live in a medium size city in what id describe as "uptown" but not fancy? Mixed use zoning, on my way to work (2.5km) if I'm walking I pass 2 wee strip malls with odds and ends shops, a cafe with fantastic coffee, breakfast and lunch only, many doctors offices, a Colombian restaurant, a jewler, a Starbucks, pot dispensary, 2 fast food places, a hospital, there just oddly is not a bar or restaurant with bar anywhere close by.
But yes there are suburbs here I call House Farms. Just houses for miles, ringed by roads too big and fast to cross safely on foot. So many of those out in every direction from the city here.
