Cheers! Not entirely happy with it so I'm going to have a little play to see if I can get it to look a little sleeker. Should be up soon.

So, I'm guessing the idea is that if we create additional content for other cocktails, then we can build other cheat sheets based on which cocktails we want? Sounds like a neat project. I might make a couple when I have some free time.

Got it in one, pick and choose from anyone's content to tailor to your needs! And I have to ask, A cheetsheet or a cocktail?

These will be great for tonight's party, thanks a bunch! :)
