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.

Oh, boy the baggies! When I was growing up in Mexico you’d get a soft drink poured into a baggie tied off with a straw on the boardwalks. iirc it was so they could redeem the bottles. I forgot that was a thing. Cool to see it’s still around.

Sounds delicious. I enjoyed the inventor's joke that the drink is served in a plastic bag, meant to optimize sipping while driving.

I made these tonight! I had to use fresh tomato juice instead of sangrita, but I think I accurately captured the salty sweet quality. Served to people who don't like mixed drinks and they liked it.
