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.

Sharpie Mustache once you get it dialed in for your personal taste. Note that Bonal and Meletti are very hard to sub out without major changes to the recipe. But if you're out of oranges, I do a spritz or rinse with Bigallet China China, or even orange bitters.
On that note, I'll make a batch of paper plane, or boulevardier, or negroni, or daiquiri, or maitai too. Sometimes I'll do a batch of negroni or boulevardier upside-down if I need to be coherent later.
But don't listen to intoxicated self later: you don't need to finish the batch in one sitting. They'll last just fine overnight.
