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.

It was tequila, lemon, thyme syrup, italicus liquor, soda water, and a smoke bubble. It tastes as good as it looks and we definitely got charged the instagram tax for its presentation.

Soda water served up? That's super weird. Sounds great otherwise

I wasn’t watching them make it but I imagine it was just filler to hit a certain height in the glass. The drink wasn’t fizzy

I had a bottle of the Italicus but it was so sweet I couldn't calibrate it to use in a drink. Like either I couldn't taste it or the drink was too sweet, no in between.

ETA - that is beautiful looking.
