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.

Can you explain your choice to move from 1:1:1:1 equal volume template to this? I guess the St Germain and Chartreuse are sweet enough to replace a syrup and balance against the lime leaving you with a strong Tequila-Mezcal flavour. Do you loose the St-Germain under the other?
I was afraid it would be too sweet in equal parts with both Chartreuse and St. Germain, but apparently was wrong because it was quite tart. It wasn't lost, no, everything was combined well except the lime (the Tequila Ocho is not an assertive tequila).
