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.

Fresh pineapple juice and any sort of whiskey, I have never had that go wrong. Splash of whiskey in pineapple or splash of pineapple in whiskey. With smoky scotch, with rye, with bourbon, every variation I have tried has been so good.
I like good whiskey but only after it is diluted in some way - straight it just overwhelms my palate and I can't taste it well. I need it stretched with water at least.
And whatever I have I put in cocktails. I do agree you don't need top shelf but disagree on it doesn't matter at all, I have had some terrible well drinks that were bad because bad whiskey.
I’ll give that a try, thanks
