Forking Cocktails

Welcome to the tasty and intoxicating world of cocktails. Explore our database by recipe, by ingredient, or by contributor. Forking Cocktails isn't just for looking up a recipe. A registered user can add ingredients and cocktails for others to enjoy. Once logged in, you can also edit or delete your previous entries.

You might be familiar with the tech term "fork" — it's used to describe the action of using someone else's code as the starting point for your own project. In restaurants and bars, we often talk about a cocktail being a "riff" or "spin" on an existing (and often well-known) drink. Here, users can fork any cocktail on the site. Whether it's your own cocktail or someone else's, that recipe becomes a starting point for your new creation. The database automatically keeps track of a forked cocktail's geneology, both its parent and its children.
