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.

Interesting, thanks! I bought a small bottle just to try it and am not a fan generally, but that sounds like a good combination to try
I like it as a shot topped with lime juice. Otherwise it's not something I use frequently.
A little lacking, but it serves me well:
Looks great from here!
That's gorgeous!
I can’t imagine having surplus alcohol in my house.
Because of the angle, at first glance I thought those bottles to the left were defying gravity and sitting on the side of your cabinet.
I've been meaning to do a post and share this, but I'll just pop it in here. Wife and I converted an old piano into a
We couldn't fit all of the alcohol in the piano, so the rest is in a trunk next to it
Good old Evan Williams Clear. Excellent choice!
Ha! Need a reminder to buy this. Our staples are:
Evan Williams Bottled-in-Bond - this goes the fastest because husband likes it on ice. But is cheap so a good staple.
Tequila Ocho claro, Gonzalez Reposado
ABK6 Cognac
Everything else just get whenever - that handful of stuff we buy when it runs out. The tequila usually not till both are gone though.
