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 just use those free marketing tumblers they hand out for you to put your coffee in. Or go to a thrift store and buy more for $1 a piece.
Fill it up, put in the freezer, come back in a few hours and pour some water on it if it's not popping out on its own. Double bag them in the freezer.
If you forget about it it's fine you just need to break off the bottom not clear part after and check that it didn't break the tumbler.
You don't have to worry about them much and they fit basically anywhere and if it breaks it's cheap enough to replace but is unlikely as it doesn't expand that much.
Plus the pucks are easier to work with than the big blocks made by using a cooler and take up way less space in the freezer too.
Works well for me and I wouldnt do anything else.
