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.
2 oz bourbon
1 oz Aperol
1 oz Amaro Nonino
1oz lemon juice
1/4 oz Campari
2 oz Crodino soda
Shake first 5 ingredients together, add the soda and pour back and forth between the shaker cups. Strain over fresh ice. I did one big cube but crushed would be good too.
Paper Plane is always just a little too sweet for me. This is a bitter version, still sweet but it's quite good! I didn't like the Crodino soda by itself but it is a nice ingredient.
I've never even heard of Crodino until this post. Might need to see if I can find some, sounds interesting
You'd think two orange-flavored ingredients would be enough! Sounds neat, though, I'd try it if I liked Campari.
I really like how the Paper Plane lends itself to name variants.
