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've accidentally made Moscow mules using gin instead of vodka. It's weird but not awful. That's nearly what this recipe is. Just use espresso or espresso liqueur instead of doing all that coffee boiling.
Edit: I said Moscow Mule when I meant White Russian like 3 times in this thread. In my defense, I'm somewhat new to drinking.
No bro this is nothing like a Moscow mule. Those are fine with gin.
There is no ice cream or coffee in a Moscow mule, they have like ginger ale and lime?? Just because it also comes in a cup does not make it a similar drink.
Yeah, I said Mule when I meant White Russian (with ice cream instead of cream). And they are weird but kind of OK with gin. Not normal by any means, but not (to me) horrible. But my taste buds are old and I've had COVID 3 times so YMMV.
