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.

Well now I have to get some banana vodka to give it a try. Thanks for the suggestion.
Cream soda is part of my favorite Halloween cocktail - cream soda, vodka, sambucca, splash of lime juice, the recipe is in this community somewhere I'm sure, make one every Halloween. It was developed when I needed a licorice cocktail and spent weeks trying to make one more sophisticated, like good black licorice, they all turned out so foul. Gave up and went in another direction, this one came out tasting just like a black jellybean, so that's what I call it. Very sweet, and licorice is polarizing but people who like it really like it, and those who don't generally won't even try it, that's fine.
This makes me wish I liked black licorice more. If I ever have sambucca on hand, I may see if I can find the recipe and give it a try anyway for the experience. Thanks for the suggestion.
What brand of soda? I find some brands cloying, essentially a vanilla syrup with fizz.
Sioux City. Not the best cream soda I have ever had, but not bad for being on sale.
