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.

Been in a highball mood lately, so probably a nice Scotch and Soda. I know a nicer spirit makes a better drink, but I find a highball is perfect for finishing off those mostly empty bottles of whatever.
I've also been playing around with a ginger tincture I made recently, so hoping to use that in something. Just been drinking it with soda water lately and it works great for that, but I want to try turning it into a syrup too. Maybe a dark and stormy or something like that.
I tried to make an infinity whiskey with the odds and ends, but my husband drank it, lol. Ginger tincture sounds interesting - I love home fermented ginger beer, that's my usual ginger project.
Haha! That's definitely the danger of the infinity bottles! I've been drinking mostly rum lately, and an infinity rum bottle sounds like something I need to try.
I'm loving the tincture. I used Darcy O'Neil's recipe and it is a banger. Super simple and really spicy. I only need like 1.5ml to 6oz of soda water to make a refreshing sipper. I would love to make a ginger beer, but I just don't have room right now.
