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.

Huh, first time I noticed the pinned thread. Here's a favorite of mine, the Rock Shandy:
lemon juice
simple syrup
a generous helping of Angostura bitters
top with enough sparkling water to make a highball
Quantities to taste, it's supposed to be an almost-no-alcohol highball, though, so put dashes of bitters in it, not ounces. AFAIK the standard is lemon/lime soda instead of lemon juice and simple syrup, but I rarely keep soda around and IMO this version tastes better anyway.
