So, we've been doing the world's slowest bar crawl, having one drink a week, at different bars at this posh outdoor mall where the grocery is. So far:

Sports bar - not even shaken, sour mix and bourbon poured over ice. Actually bad.

Casual fresh organic restaurant - bartender asked if I wanted egg white and cracked an egg to get it! So good. Amaretto cherry, very classic.

Rooftop bar - good but not as good as it was expensive. Shaken, tasty.

Asian restaurant - again, not shaken, and this time with a splash of soda? And some bourbon floated on top too. It was good (good bourbon, real lemon, not sweet) but not what I expected.

I have been really surprised to get this much difference in less than a square block.

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.
