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.

Not directly cocktail related, but malort is always funny. I have a few NA friends, and I felt like they were missing out on the joys of malort... So I did the necisarily evil thing of taking the booze out of malort so they could be part of the collective suffering brought on by malort shots.

Hopefully you get a good laugh out of it.

PS: if you do like malort, infuse a bottle with 3 or 4 Thai birds eye chillies (sliced open) for 3 or 4 days. It makes malort taste surprisingly good! I don't know how, but it ends up picking up a slightly smokey taste, and pushes the flavor more towards an "odd spicy pickel brine" flavor profile!
