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!
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.
More pictures.
A pinned thread with resources for anyone struggling with alcoholism.
Should post titles & drink posts have more requirements? Like: Drink Name, Recipe, Picture, and taste notes/impressions?
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?
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.
I’d like to see every mixed drink from Danger 5
Be the change you want to see in the world! Make a post!
A local bars and drinks pinned post for bar reviews, and reviews of drinks you bought, did not make.
