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.

Well that sounds delightful. My kids love a spoonful of St. Germain in lemonade.
Getting ‘em started right, eh?
Yeah it's funny, they do hate alcohol until grown but want the other flavors. My penultimate child asked if I could make a non alcoholic margarita and I had to gently explain that most of what she liked about the margarita was in the tequila and you can't just take it out.
And yeah I think developing a palate is part of educating a kid. Some are naturally pickier than others but giving them tastes of everything does help to widen their likes. Which makes them better guests and is a good quality in general.
I fully agree!
