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.
Basically a gin sour.
A summery drink to celebrate another summer conquered (desertposting).
Did it feel funny?
Looks refreshing!
How do you do the cucumber syrup? Just blending everything?
I made simple syrup, then while it was warm I added a (scrubbed and rinsed) cucumber which had gone through the food processor. Threw it in the fridge for half a day, then I pressed the slurry through a cheesecloth. It's a lovely color.
Great, thank you! The color looks amazing
Looks tasty!
It was mediocre! Kinda has a corn-syrupy sort of flavor.

Maybe here you can find something better to do with it.
