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.
2oz Tequila Ocho claro
1oz orange liqueur
1oz fresh lime
3 dropperful fire tincture (habanero and anatto infused vodka)
Shake with ice, dirty pour (still no power here, can't waste ice) into tajin rimmed glass. Perfect and refreshing.
I will say that as much of a PITA it is to be without electricity, the clean running water that the city managed to keep running is much more valuable, I'm glad for that.
Have been charging the phones on the electric bike battery, but oof not drinking again untill the weekend or until we have electricity. Just water, and again very happy they have secured that.
