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.

Well, I got cream soda to make my beloved Halloween cocktail, only to find I am out of vodka!

So having a Dead Rabbit, and made a Blood Orange Margarita for my (adult) daughter.

Are you having any holiday drinks?

I made apple cider in the slow cooker all day and drank that with some bourbon. Nice warm spices always hits the spot.

I'm only having the most basic of vodka margaritas, but I'm pretending it's extra haunted.

I'm having a rusty Bock, a take on the rusty nail, but with Bock beer.

One third of Drambuie, whisky (I like Irish, but try your own) and Bock beer (lots of choice here, I like a classic German type, not too sweet).

For garnish you can go with a twist of orange, but I like a chocolate stick for stirring and nibbling.
