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 am making ginger beer this week and sort of dreaming about what to do with it after my Dry July. I don't have the minty Fernet, but may aquire it to try this.

I love a Dark and Stormy. Has the right kind of layered burn and hopefully it actually inspires a stormy day cause I can't take more of this heat.

Made one last night with Smith & Cross.

Yum. I have a perfume called City Rain (Neil Morris perfumes) and I wear it when missing the rain. It has an amazing wet concrete top note. Thankfully summer is our rainy season here, and I hope your drink can call the storms to you too.

"Petrichor" is what that aroma is called, if you're curious.
