Very cool. French 75 is more interesting in its original formulation based on cognac rather than gin though.

#22I like cocktails. I like cocktail recipes. I don't know why this is on hacker news thought.
I feel the same, but it's an unavoidable cycle IMHO. Any subculture that becomes popular gets diluted by more average people, and the content becomes more basic and banal. You can flag and downvote, but eventually there are enough people who treat a platform like HN as a general discussion board, without regard for cultural alignment. It seems that stuff like politics and random recipes are on the rise, but it's not against the rules, so maybe it really is just a general discussion board that's evolving into the mainstream.

Maybe everyone just really, really needs a drink right now?

Well, it’s our fault. We had forums with categories and those had some random / chit chat category to have off topic discussions with the community while staying on topic anywhere else.
And a lot of the time, this random section was the more active of the whole forum but that was ok because it didn’t impact the other discussions.
But those were less engaging than social networks i guess (which hn is) so here we are.

#25I 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!
I use an app called Mixel which tells you the cocktails you are 0/1/... ingredients away from making and has recipes from some famous cocktail books. I like the UI and the info it has for the recipes, but it's not smart enough to know that if you have limes you can make lime juice.

#27You can dress it however you want, but "cocktail" is just a guise for self-harm.
Do your body a favour and don't drink.

I don't know why the teetotaler community feels the need to comment in any discussion on the internet where alcohol comes up. You don't have to say anything.
There are many risks in life. Most of us make tradeoffs for things which don't maximize longevity but increase happiness in the time we get. For some people that's driving a car, for some people that's getting a sun tan, for some people that's alcohol.

#29Somewhat surprising that the Tuxedo cocktail is not on the list...

#30A 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.
