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:

lemmy.world/post/13010582

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.

    Interesting article. lots on that list are still my go-to. I am now thinking about what the 12 old cocktails that we no longer can drink. Maybe some bartender masters can recreate them somehow.

    We still have blackberries so I'm having a worlds weakest highball version of this today, like a switchel/lemonade. Same framework, a little more berry, balsamic, lemon, sugar, only a spoonful each of bourbon and St Germain, mashed together then mixed with about a cup of fizzy water, strained over ice into a pint glass. Maybe not quite as good but still very good, nice complex almost non alcoholic (certainly non intoxicating) and very refreshing.
