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.

Did it taste good?
That bottle of pineapple amaro is $100 ๐Ÿซ

It's about $35 where I am.

But yes, so good.

You know, I think Evan Williams gets a bad rap. It isn't the best bourbon out there, even in their more top shelf varieties, but they're consistent, and they're palatable. That's important for mixed drinks imo, moreso than enjoying bourbon on its own, but still important for that too

It's so cheap and stupid good for what it costs. I have never been disappointed in this white label one. Always assertive enough to say "bourbon" in a cocktail, but plays nice too.
