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.

I'm having a whiskey sour. Delicious.

What are you drinking, be it cocktail, wine, coffee, whatever! Anything interesting?

I've been drinking a mix of oude genever, dry vermouth, peychaud's bitter, simple syrup and lime disk (like in a Ti'Punch). A mix between Old Fashioned, Martini and (ti')punch, and somehow it actually goes together quite well (or at least much better than some other experiments I did in the past). I'll have to try this recipe with other spirits, but I'm partial to genever and I think it's what makes the mix of Old Fashioned and Martini work, since genever itself is something like a mix between whisky and gin.

Chasing it down with chamomille tea, because I'm too old to be drinking alcohol all evening and I've grown bored of pure water lately.
