Boulevardier tonight, well... Cynar instead of vermouth because I didn't crack a new bottle since I only had La Quintinye Vermouth Royale and we're heading out for a vacation soon (and I really like that one). So black boulevardiers (like a "black" Manhattan)? Bitter italy (play on the little Italy)? Idunno what to call it.

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.

Starting off the weekend with a daiquiri (the classic kind not the slushy) with Smith and Cross rum. My SO was kind enough to go on an adventure to source that funky rum and it’s worth it.
Michter’s Rye neat, martini’s and G&Ts w/ Freeland Spirits forest gin, and Fever Tree light tonic. It’s been a rough week 😂
That light tonic is my favorite.
Martinis with Tanqueray No. 10 and Dolin dry vermouth. We also have Cocchi extra dry vermouth to try later. It was our first time trying Tanqueray No. 10. We thought it was a bit sweet for martinis, but perfect for sipping or for gin & tonics.
I'm out of vermouth, so I'm having Gin Cocktails, which is actually a Genever Old Fashioned with a dash of orange liqueur. Vermouth empties rather quickly when you're drinking 4:3-Martinis!
Vespers all the way down.
