Wacanai can tell you what are the most valuable items you should own. The match index shows how many thing you can do after having the item. Take one of my results, "Sweet Vermouth" for example, I can make actually make 12 more cocktails after having it.

What should I buy as a cocktail leaner: a research

Hi!
I am currently developing a web service to aggregate cocktail knowledge. And we have a project to mine the data we have.
The result, we can now calculate "the essential X items you should have to learn Y". Y represents the a certain aspects of knowledge, for example, cocktail or recipes. X represents the number of the items you needed for maximum usage. In simple terms, now we can calculate the 10 items you should buy to mix maximum cocktails!

You can view the cocktail results here:
http://www.wacanai.com/data_mining/learnin_guide/learning_guide_page.php?uid=1&lang=en

Also, the results are daily updated by users' contribution everyday. You can see the other calculated results here:

Do you think it useful?




Hi,

I am a web developer currently build a website for cocktail lovers. I encountered a problem the first time learn to mix some drinks:
"So, what else can I do with the vodka?"
I bought a vodka to mix one drink, if I wanna try some other cocktail recipes, I've got to buy something more. I don't feel like optimizing my wine collection this way. So, I developed an alternative shopping guide for this condition:
"These are the 10 items you should have if you wanna mix some drinks efficiently" , in simple terms, I found a way to know what a man should buy as a cocktail beginner. All he has to do is to go to the mall, buy these 10 item, and he can now mix a various kinds of cocktail with these 10.

Do you think it's useful service to be further developed?
Here're the sample results I calculated:
=========================================
10 esstientails:Kahlúa,Baileys Irish Cream,Grand Marnier,Lime Juice,Vodka,Cranberry Juice,Triple Sec Liqueur,Dry Vermouth,Olive,White creme de cacao,

9 cocktails from the 10:B-52,Cement Mixer,Cosmopolitan,Mudslide,Screaming Orgasm,Vodka Martini,Kamakazie,57 Chevy with a White License Plate,Chocolate Martini,
==========================================
the calculation can be set to 10, 20, 30, 40, 50.... esstientials...

Do you think it useful?
Please tell me whether I should continue this development, thanks alot!

Learn to mix some drinks on wine you already have

Wanna mix some drinks, but don't know how?

Here's a simple way have a good start, a website called Wacanai could give you suggestions about what you can make with the things in your fridge even with few wine collections.





After registering an account on the site, here's reminder, DO NOT click "OK" on this screen, cause we only wanna learn how to mix some drinks, clicking that will make the learning process harder.











Now, let's start to input something we have, juice, wine, sugar, anything you think you think relative to cocktail, drinks, bartending...














Hover your mouse on the X icon, and you can add it as your belongings.







Now, after logging about 10 items, like what I have done here:




Click on the "Your match" on the top menu.
















Now you know what you can do with the things you have.
There're only two suggestions based on my 10 items, it is not cool right now, the suggestion will be more when you start logging more items. However, here's the amazing part...











Wacanai can tell you what are the most valuable items you should own. The match index shows how many thing you can do after having the item. Take one of my results, "White creme de cacao" for example, I can make the most things after having white creme (based on the Wacanai database).













Let's click on the white creme to see what I can do with white creme.















On the left top of the page you can see how you can use the white creme after buying(or logging it onto Wacanai) it. It keeps going on and on, start from what you already have, buy the most suitable item for you... A efficient way to learn to mix some drinks.

And that's it! Now you can learn how to mix some drinks based on what you already have, save some money for yourself. You can also post the a cocktail mix on Wacanai, share it, or simply treat it as your personal cocktail database~
