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.

How do you make them spicy?
Some Ancho Reyes and a tincture I made, habanero and achiote. Infused vodka for a week with chopped garden habaneros, then added achiote paste for a day, then strained. I made it for the Cima Summer cocktail but made extra, it's really good.
I recently had one at Outback restaurant where they just shook it with jalapeno slices, and floated a couple slices in the glass, a "mango jalapeno margarita" that was surprisingly delicious as well.
Wow, more complicated than I was expecting! I might try a couple of these options though.
