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 found that the longer my dry vermouth is open (stored in the fridge), the more vermouth I want in my Martini. After maybe 2-3 months, I really enjoy stirred vermouth.

It's definitely true that dry vermouth loses a lot of its aroma after a couple of weeks unsealed in the fridge, but at least with the vermouths I know (Noilly Prat and Dolin), the taste of fresh dry vermouth is too much on its own. Kinda circles back to the "most people don't actually like the taste of vermouth" thing that led to ultra-dry Dry Martinis, but somehow in a different way - 2-3 months of fridge is pretty different from years at room temperature.

I'm prepared to accept that my tastes are just weird, though.
