Site seems to be crushed under load

I like cocktails. I like cocktail recipes. I don't know why this is on hacker news thought.
A drink with bourbon and rye makes no sense imho. A rye is just bourbon with a higher percent of rye and less corn. You might as well call it blending your own whiskey.
I’m a big fan of the Webtender [1]. A super old school website without style sheets. Tons of information, nicely organized, and everything loads super quickly, as it should be!

There's a weird bug with the infinite scroll where the page width and/or column widths randomly change slightly when I hit the bottom of the page every once in a while

I like this website a lot and used it as the base recipe book for a program that will tell you what cocktails you can make with the ingredients you have, but also what cocktails you are “one ingredient away from.” https://github.com/ianthehenry/mixologician

It’s a little datalog script - input is a text file, output is a text file. I’ve used it a few times to decide what to pick up at the store!

Love this - I'd wanted a little site that helps me see which of the top ~100 cocktails I already have the ingredients to make, and which I need to make a purchase to be able to sample: https://iba-world.com/cocktails/all-cocktails/

When I had more time and money, I planned to try to make one a week, across two years - but I rarely seem to drink these days.

Any drinks list without a pan galactic gargle blaster is sus
You can dress it however you want, but "cocktail" is just a guise for self-harm.

Do your body a favour and don't drink.

A list of cocktails without a single Long Island Iced Tea variant? That's blasphemy! Now I feel like it's been too long since I've drunk a Blue Motherfucker.
while it's cool about the negroni, it's missing the (IMHO) better "negroni sbagliato"
