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.

Oddly this is what my screen was showing when sadly I was drinking box wine.
My friend who likes wine does not turn up his nose at box wine. He says it's fine. Me, I don't like wine enough to like much I can afford, so I only have it maybe once a month and buy what I want. Well, up to say $35 anyway.
And yes, groceries are getting so expensive! Or wages are so behind the times, more like.
Haha! Yeah, I was just looking at your post, and I was salivating over the idea of drinking such fantastic mezcal and a good cocktail, but then I looked to the side of me and saw the box of wine I was drinking. You are right; I don't usually drink a lot of wine either, and I do appreciate the post. A friend of mine goes to auctions and buys crates of expired vintage wine, and often he finds that perhaps maybe seven out of the crate are good to drink, which seems like a great way to go about drinking fine wine on a budget.
