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 was a little suspicious of watermelon and mint, but gin and cocchi americano?
Now I'm eyeballing this watermelon my friend bought for his kid and thinking half of it needs to disappear in the freezer. My bottle of Americano needs to be finished anyway. There's really no way around it.
Love the variations too! I make a low abv brunch cocktail with roughly 2 americano, 1 grapefruit, and splashes of gin aperol and campari, finished with tonic or soda.
Gin and cocchi just like in a corpse reviver #2.
Your brunch cocktail sounds good!
