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.

Here is an interesting one from Death & Co. that combines tiki flavors with the complex bitterness of beer, of all things. It’s not much beer by volume, so it’s not nearly the predominant flavor. It’s a little weird seeing, but it really works!

2 oz Tanqueray No. 10 Gin
¾ oz John. D. Taylor’s Velvet Falernum liqueur
1 oz pineapple juice
½ oz lemon juice
Green Flash West Coast IPA
Mint sprig

Shake the liquid ingredients (except the IPA) with ice, strain into a Collins glass with ice, and top with the beer. Garnish with the mint sprig (or remember right at this stage that you forgot to buy mint, like me!).

Hmm, I would replace the beer with a dry tepache, probably, but would try it as written. Husband loves those IPA beers, especially the higher alcohol ones, Jai Alai & similar. Sure he'd finish the can for me.
