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.
I don't understand how they get this drink to look pretty in pictures, maybe the dark rum is not as dark? Anyway - sitting here watching the sideways rain and enjoying a hurricane.
2oz white rum (Miami Club)
2oz dark rum (Mahina)
1oz orange juice
1oz sweetened passionfruit puree
1oz lemon
1 spoonful grenadine
It's not bad, but not great.
Made one with half the rum, it was better. Though still muddy looking even without the dark rum, nothing like the pictures online. Plan for if I ever have the occasion to enjoy one again though, half the rum, passionfruit liqueur not puree, still lemon not lime, pomegranate juice not grenadine. Certainly not tonight though. Has anyone a recipe they actually enjoyed?
