Talk:List of cocktails

message: I have removed this text from Melon ball, since that page treats balls of melon and the tool used to make them. This seems like the most logical page for the information to end up in, but then again maybe it shouldn't end up anywhere, per WP:What Wikipedia is not. 
:"Melon ball" is also the name of a cocktail, typically made with melon liqueur, vodka and orange juice.

message: This seems to still be an issue . Googling firelighter cocktail -Wikipedia  gives me a little over 200,000 ghits (your results may vary) and about one in four is for a cocktail called firelighter, but more important, the recipe seems to be consistent so it seems to me to be an established one and encyclopedic.

message: This page seems to start as a list of cocktails by liquor, e.g., Gin, Vodka etc.  But further down it appears to turn into more of a list of types of liqueurs/liquors.  Someone needs to decide where this page is going.
I added some flower/flower-based liqueurs under that heading.  In trying to get the format right, I noticed that many liqueurs are not linked to their pages, although those pages do exist.  Just general housekeeping.  Zlama (talk) 03:20, 23 October 2012 (UTC)

message: Should all words in the names of cocktails be capitalized? I notice that "Pisco Sour" and "Tequila Sour" and "Brandy Sour (Cyprus)" have "Sour" capitalized, but "whiskey sour" not only uses lowercase for "sour", but within the article about the cocktail, it even uses lowercase for "whiskey". The strange pattern is repeated within the Sour article. —BarrelProof (talk) 18:00, 23 June 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, how does this relate to policy, e.g., MOS:CAPS, which implies that most cocktail names would be lower case, except for proper names such as Pisco sour if Pisco refers to the place.  Logical Cowboy (talk) 13:36, 2 October 2013 (UTC)

message: I created a new page List of Cocktails (alphabetical)
It got marked for speedy deletion and there is no "button" on the page to contest that
This list is "useful" but so is an alphabetical list. An alphabetical list is different
than this list. This list is by liquor type. Not everyone knows what liqor
is in a Harvey Wallbanger but they know the name Harvey Wallbanger.
I strongly object to the speedy deletion of list of cocktails (alphabetical)  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Xandermiller (talk • contribs) 20:21, 17 September 2019 (UTC)

message: Hello, I've never done this before, so I apologize if I violate any rules. In any case, the link to the vodka-based bullshot is rerouting to bloody mary, both when clicked on and when typed in directly. I figured since they are different drinks, there must be some sort of issue, but I couldn't find the link to a bullshot myself to fix it. Sorry for any trouble, and thanks for keeping up with everything!

message: While doing research on the Moscow Mule, a related drink a found the Horse's article and looked at the sources used for the history section. The section says that it originated in the 1890s but I couldn't find anything the the book to suggest this. The earliest mention of this drink in the book that was cited came from 1907 in an issue of life magazine. I know this is a very niche complaint but alcohol mystery is already shrouded in enough myths that I feel this should be corrected. Thank you. SaltyCalculator (talk) 05:54, 10 April 2023 (UTC)

message: I don't understand why all my edits are getting reverted. Much of this list seems unnecessary with the amount of times a single cocktail is listed, and many of them seem to be extremely rare or niche cocktails that vlogs have mad up for the sake of publishing. The categorization of cocktails by mixer is also very unusual for discussing or listing this as well. Many of the drinks that are categorized by mixer don't even contain said mixer as an ingredient, such as the LIT. Is there a way we can talk this out either on here or the discord.
