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 always enjoyed the monthly contests on the r/cocktails. Nobody seems to participate in the synchronized Fridays, would that be better as a monthly thing? I will put my ideas in as comments, and anyone else please feel free to add an idea as a comment and upvote/downvote the ideas here, will leave this up until 2024.

(As a mod, what I'd like is tags! I don't want to require a recipe and picture here but want to be able to tag posts as "drink" if it has all that, or "review", or "meta" for something like this post!)

Should post titles & drink posts have more requirements? Like: Drink Name, Recipe, Picture, and taste notes/impressions?

Definitely. It would also be great to have glassware used too(if known). That's often a follow up question in the comments.
