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.

I’m surprised it dissolves(I think this is the primary reason simple syrup is called for) but if it does and the drink tastes the same, why not?
Indeed. I'm sure that OP gets some dissolution but it can't be as 100% as simple syrup is. Anecdotally, I've been able to tell a difference every time ive substituted granulated sugar for SS.
Yeah I gave it a quick stir in the tin and I got like 95% if not more. I could see SOME individual grains not a lot. After shaking and straining I couldn't notice visually and I was not able to feel any grains while drinking.
