OpenDrinks

OpenDrinks is a repository for fancy (or not so fancy) cocktail recipe, formatted for computers to use. These recipes contain metadata that is less valuable to a human, but can be useful for a machine attempting to pour a beverage. For instance: pouring Cranberry Juice is easy, but pouring Cola is made more complicated due to carbonation. Here we make note of that so our robots know how to handle it.

Getting Started

To add a recipe to the repo, run the drink_maker.py utility, and it'll walk you through the process. Currently, for any ingredient that shouldn't be put through a pump (lemon wedges, salt, bitters, thick syrups), be sure to use either dash or count as the measure, since the robots may try to pour anything labeled mL.

Formatting

Images

• Must be 200x200 px and in .jpg format
• Must be named the same name as an existing drink (i.e. rum_and_coke.jpg for Rum and Coke)
• Must be licensed under the Creative Commons License. https://search.creativecommons.org/ is a great resource for finding images, and credits must be added to the images/credits.txt file.

JSON

The drink_maker.py utility should handle all formatting, but as a reference, the format of all JSON files is as described below:

Ingredients

Ingredients are individual components of a drink, such as Rum or Limes

  {
    name: Name of the ingredient
      (type: string, required: true),
    measure: One of ["mL", "dash", "count"],
      used to determine how to measure this ingredient
      (type: string, required: true),
    carbonated: Whether or not this ingredient is even slightly carbonated
      (type: boolean, required: true)
  }

Drinks

Drinks are recipes for cocktails that incorporate multiple ingredients. The ingredients must be present for the drink to be valid, and the drink_maker.py utility will establish a new ingredient for you if one does not exist. Unless a drink has a hard requirement for a type of ingredient (i.e. Jager for a Jagerbomb), err on the side of being as agnostic as possible (Vodka vs Smirinoff).

  {
    name: Name of the drink
      (type: string, required: true),
    ingredients: List of ingredients, quantities, and whether each is required
      (type: array(object), required: true):
      [
        {
          ingredient: Name of the ingredient
            (type: string, required: true),
          quantity: Measure of how much of this ingredient we need
            (type: float, required: true),
          required: Whether or not this drink can be made without this ingredient
            (type: boolean, required: false, default: true)
        }
      ],
    alias: List of alternative names a drink could be called (i.e. `Adios` vs `AMF`).
      Used for searching for the drink.  
      (type: array(string), required: false, default: []),
    image: String to locate the image associated with this drink.
      (type: string, required: true)
  }
