Talk:Drinks By Ingredient

From TheKolWiki

I proposed overhauling this page in Talk:Cocktailcrafting. Since nobody has responded in two months, and since people seem to like the redone version, I'm going to replace it. I'll be watching this talk page for input. —Dentarthurdent(T,C) 22:57, 15 April 2006 (CDT)

Drinks by mixer? --rhebus 12:41, 19 May 2006 (CDT)

It would be nice to fold in the Drink Matrix, which presents the basic non-DB mixes in a very usable format. --Jonrock 13:12, 10 August 2006 (CDT)

I'll be doing some improvements over here in the near future, mainly by 1) expanding the colour scheme and 2) possibly incorporating the "Drinks by mixer" section provided by rhebus. This text is here to let anyone reading the Rewrite tag know that someone is doing something about it. (I am also the one who put the tag up some while back) --Egs 14:31, 7 November 2006 (CST)

Since the last comment here was four months ago, I decided to take a couple of hours and recolor the page. I would work on matching Rhebus's Drinks by mixer, but I don't feel like spending any more time on this. If anyone wants to, I suggest swapping the mixer and booze columns (like the "by garnish" section), coloring like the page is currently, adding the improved mixers, and removing the shortened versions of basic booze names. --Emtu 21:04, 3 March 2007 (CST)

Proposed reworking

Since this page folds all the recipes available to the different skill sets into one place, would it be useful to indicate the required skill for each recipe? (Yes, I know that the intro gives general info about Advanced Cocktailcrafting / Superhuman Cocktailcrafting...)

Example:

bottle of gin bottle of gin	Cocktailcrafting	jumbo olive	Recipe	dry martini	Cocktailcrafting	skewered jumbo olive	Recipe	dirty martini
	Cocktailcrafting	grapefruit	Recipe	salty dog	Cocktailcrafting	brine	Recipe	especially salty dog
					Advanced Cocktailcrafting	magical ice cubes	Recipe	slap and tickle
	Cocktailcrafting	olive	Recipe	martini	Advanced Cocktailcrafting	little paper umbrella	Recipe	a little sump'm sump'm
	Cocktailcrafting	papaya	Recipe	papaya sling

If this looks good, I don't mind spending the time to go through and add all the icons. --GalenKemensen 21:37, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

• My vote'd be to go nuts. Having the skill requirements inline only increases the usability of the tables. --Bagatelle^T/_C 16:44, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
  • Submitted. I've added sections listing the drinks by mixer as well as by booze, which I hope will be useful.
    The wiki is starting to give a warning about the size of the page though, so I'm wondering whether some of it could be farmed out to templates - these could perhaps then be included in the ingredients' item pages as a Recipes section? Probably need to ask on /Discussion about that... --GalenKemensen 18:53, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

New Recipes

I suppose white rice into sake should go into the distillery table?--Gan 13:17, 10 July 2009 (UTC)
