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.

Muddle the leaves

What leaves? Do I just go outside and find some fall foliage?

Not OP, but in case you aren't just joking, the answer is mint.

Thank you, I was getting frustrated with how many leaves are outside. My wife left me after I brought a bunch inside. She told me to leaf but I couldn’t because of this weird rash I’m starting to get.

Any leaves will do. I like these ones I found in my back yard. They leave a nice tingle in your mouth afterwards! ! h

I like the waxy ivy looking ones the best but the fruit cones from sumac leave my senses dead
