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.
Show off your collection, or organizational skills, or decorating prowess! This is my wall o' booze. I am lucky to have a little nook off the kitchen, and a glass cabinet from my grandmother.
Real drinkers have one bottle on top of a dirty fridge. You guys are all posers.
Because of the angle, at first glance I thought those bottles to the left were defying gravity and sitting on the side of your cabinet.
A little lacking, but it serves me well:
That's gorgeous!
Looks great from here!
What do you make with that giant bottle of Southern Comfort? Anything that doesn’t include coke/sprite/any other pop or soda?
Whiskey with pineapple juice is so good. Pretty much anywhere from pineapple with a splash of whiskey to whiskey with a splash of pineapple.
Interesting, thanks! I bought a small bottle just to try it and am not a fan generally, but that sounds like a good combination to try
Still nursing that green chartreuse, I see! Here’s mine; relegated to the basement but plenty spacious:
I can’t imagine having surplus alcohol in my house.
