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.
2 oz bourbon
3/4 oz lemon
3/4 oz peach liqueur (I used apricot)
2 oz ginger beer
Sprig of mint for muddling and one more for garnish. I used mojito mint, it barely survived our double tap freeze, so it was fresh from the garden.
Mix the first 3 ingredients then use a little of that mix to muddle the mint, then put in the rest & shake with ice, top with ginger beer.
What??? You didn't make me one? Why you always like this?? I thought we had a thing.
Come on over to my kitchen!
On my way. [starts undressing]
This looks GREAT for a summer evening!
It looks really tasty and refreshing! Ginger beer is the best summer mixer
