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.

I'm a big fan of a vodka Paloma!
4 parts grapefruit vodka
2 parts soda or a sparkling water.
1 part lime juice
optional - agave or simple syrup to taste.
You can rim the glass with salt and garnish with lime, serve over ice! You can also add various chopped fruits or other juices for a nice visual/taste mixup, like that cranberry.
Keeping it simple! The Deep Eddy one is probably nice enough to do this with. I am considering mezcal but it's sort of divisive in my Thanksgiving crowd.
Even more simple, add it to your favorite citrus or grapefruit soda, additional fresh lime optional.
