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.

With all due respect OP, I hope this is your way of prompting someone to create c/shittycocktailporn

Hmm. I'd try it without the cream, poured over ice cream. In the winter.

If I had flair to give, you would win adventurous for sure. Is this any good?

It is not great, but I can't really explain why. Its balanced, none of the flavors are even that strong. It's mostly chocolate flavor with a touch of pepermint. For just a second though i heard jingle bells.

Honestly I drank about half of this before I drumped it.

Maybe try a White Russian.
