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.

A whiskey sour variation.
2 oz Elijah Craig
3/4 oz Giffard Abricot
1/2 oz Amaretto
Almost 1 oz lemon supper juice
Almost 1 oz egg white
I made a quick supper that involved egg yolks (kimchi butter noodles) and so wanted a drink with egg white. Saw this on the Four Roses website, adjusted it a little for my known preferences (less sweet, more whiskey) I wouldn't say this is better than just using amaretto or apricot, the amaretto wants to dominate. But it is good. I think replacing the amaretto with an Amaro (like a paper plane variation) would be more balanced.
