Mixel is an app that I found really useful and fun. You can enter the bottles you have, and see what recipes you can make etc. I was working in the industry and upgraded to get all the obscure stuff, but the basic unpaid is great as is.
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.
Thanks! I've always wanted an app like this but they've always sucked. This is great!
Oh this is incredible!!! No ads, clean, straight to the recipe. Thanks for sharing.
This is amazing!! Thanks for sharing
IBA recipes are often not the best. It's worth checking out some other sources as well. Usually it's just tweaking the ratios for a different balance, but it can make a difference.
