What would you like to see in the Cocktails community? Suggest, and vote!

I always enjoyed the monthly contests on the r/cocktails. Nobody seems to participate in the synchronized Fridays, would that be better as a monthly thing? I will put my ideas in as comments, and anyone else please feel free to add an idea as a comment and upvote/downvote the ideas here, will leave this up until 2024.

(As a mod, what I'd like is tags! I don't want to require a recipe and picture here but want to be able to tag posts as "drink" if it has all that, or "review", or "meta" for something like this post!)

A pinned thread for non alcoholic recipes and drinks (I'm sure we could all use these for holiday parties, there's always someone who cannot or doesn't want to drink)

As a casual lurker, I'd just like to recipe ideas with reviews/descriptions. I'm one of those folks who will buy an ingredient for one cocktail, then not know what else to do with it.

You can post with a request :) Again I wish for tags!

More pictures.

A pinned thread with resources for anyone struggling with alcoholism.

Monthly ingredient challenge - like the r/cocktails contests, a monthly thread with a specific challenge to create a new cocktail and rules for submissions. Winner is most upvoted post and wins nothing but glory, but we all get ideas and recipes.

Should post titles & drink posts have more requirements? Like: Drink Name, Recipe, Picture, and taste notes/impressions?

ClarkSchiller@lemm.ee · 1 pts · 2y

Definitely. It would also be great to have glassware used too(if known). That's often a follow up question in the comments.

Should drink posts not have requirements, but an example of an ideal drink post in the sidebar?

ClarkSchiller@lemm.ee · 1 pts · 2y

This would be very helpful. To me this is the same as having a "requirement". You just have a suggested post format and hope people get all the info.

A monthly synch thread but with no winner. Use a specified ingredient in a novel or known recipe and post a picture and recipe for your drink.

Drinks with something other than or in addition to ethanol, and sugar, e.g. caffeine, kavalactone, theanine, etc.

A local bars and drinks pinned post for bar reviews, and reviews of drinks you bought, did not make.

I'd like to see every mixed drink from Danger 5

Be the change you want to see in the world! Make a post!
