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.

Growing up, my cousin and I were like brothers, closer than either of us were to our actual brothers.
In 2012, depressed and in pain, he decided to depart this mortal coil.
I rarely drink anything other than some wine with the gf. But twice a year, on his birthday and his deathday, I pour myself a glass of his favorite drink. He was born on the 4th of July, and would have been 40 today.
Today I'll be having a Jack and Coke, in memory.
note: don't feel down about this. I'm sad he's gone, of course. But also, I generally toast something to the effect of "thanks for taking the easy way out and leaving me here, fucker!", tongue planted firmly in-cheek.
