Talk:List of IBA official cocktails

message: Is there some guideline on Wikipedia that says that any IBA cocktail should be capitalized, even if none of the words in its name derive from a proper noun (e.g., "gin and tonic", "mint julep")? Robert K S (talk) 19:16, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Capitalization of these drinks 

message: In the IBA's guidlines, the recipe for Tommy's Margarita differs from that listed on the Margarita page. The info box on the Margarita page lists the following ingredients:
* 3.5 cL (7 parts) tequila
*2 cL (4 parts) Triple Sec
*1.5 cL (3 parts) lime juice
However the listing in IBA World specifies slightly different ingredients, and indeed Tommy's Margarita is a separate page from the main Margarita page on IBA World.
Tommy's Margarita recipe:
* 4.5 cl Tequila
* 1.5 cl Freshly squeezed lime juice
* 2 bar spoons of Agave nectar
It would seem that a new page specifically for Tommy's Margarita, going into more detail than the main Margarita page is in order, as it has distinctly different ingredients and history. It would seem reasonable that each IBA drink have its own page, as they do on the IBA's website.

replies: text: Simply being on the IBA list does not necessarily make a drink notable enough for its own article. But in this case I agree. Kendall-K1 (talk) 16:59, 11 April 2017 (UTC)

message: Could the properties that the IBA uses to classify each drink into the three categories (unforgettables, contemporary classics, and new era drinks)? Obviously the title of each category is semi-self-explanatory, but a brief description would be both useful, interesting, and informative. 31173x (talk) 19:47, 29 September 2018 (UTC)

message: Here I have to ask a stupid(?) question: why is one of the most popular drinks of modern times listed alphabetically under "d" for "dry martini"?  There are many variations on the basic gin+vermouth recipé - isn't "dry martini" just a preferential mix, or possibly a choice of the sweetness of the mixer?  I don't claim bartender expertise, I only ever served, or occasionally imbibed them, but in such a listing, I think we might dispense with "dry".  Ragity (talk) 09:56, 12 December 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: You're right, there are countless variations of the Martini. The reason why specifically the classic Dry Martini is listed in this article is that that's what's on the IBA 'official' list, and this article is about that list. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 05:33, 2 August 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Martini 

message: the list was updated very recently, and the artice lwas updated accordingly. Don't you think we should keep both of the list? One as "old" and one as "2020 list"? Corvus (talk) 10:36, 7 April 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: IMO this article should be about the list, up-to-date as it stands at any given time, rather than a historical log of all the versions of the list that may have been in the past. That said, I personally see no harm in having a section for 'notable' deletions; if, say, the Negroni were to be dropped, we could certainly note that. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 05:38, 2 August 2020 (UTC)
