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.

tomorrow is Eurovision, so I'm making everyone Blue Lagoon's: 1pt Vodka, 1pt Blue Curacao, 4 Parts Lemonade. Garnish with Lemon/Lime/Orange Slice or Maricino Cherry. Typically served in a hurricane glass.
Wow this sounds like something my penultimate (adult) child would love. Maybe sub tequila though. On the occasions she wants a drink, she always asks for "a blue" meaning margarita with blue Curacao but not too strong (my ideal margarita is 2 oz tequila, 1 oz orange liqueur, juice of one lime, shaken).
Ive never heard of mixing curacao w/ tequila, but that doesnt mean anything
