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.

Got to visit Murlarkey Distillery and tried this variant of an Old Fashioned. Was worried that it might be too sweet but the nice thing about a distillery is that they're gonna give you plenty of their whiskey

Yikes. I'm really not sure what to make of that. I'm equal parts horrified and intrigued.

Would you have another?

Probably not, but mainly because it felt a little too whiskey forward for a cocktail. Which I get since they're a distillery but man am I smashed right now

You just tipped the scales in favor of trying it for me! :-)

Haha, good luck but make sure you have a designated driver :)
