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.

Oh love the coffee bourbon idea. That might just be amazing on its own over single cube of ice. Maybe with a nitro creamer… 🤔
We could be onto something here… I’m a HUGE knob creek fan. I’ve always like their bourbons precisely because they’re more spiced and want to me.
I realized a little too late that I was mixing up the graham cracker drink with the coffee one but I was on such a roll I let it ride haha. It does sound like a good drink though, the nitro cream would put it over the top!
You could do the graham cracker and coffee bit together still and use some swiss merengue as a foamy garnish, reminiscient of a whiskey sour to finish off that s'mores vibe. Alternatively, bake it into lady fingers/crackers and let it soak up the cocktail a bit for a nice end of drink snack with a marshamllow-y pop.
Knob creek is the shit! If you feel like spending a bit of money, you should grab a bottle of wild turkey Kentucky spirit. 101 proof, single barrel with fantastic flavor. It's got all the warm spice notes, oakiness, and this great leathery finish that's amazing. I think you'd like it. We seem to be on the same wavelength haha
