About dingo.bar

dingo.bar is a reference to classic cocktails: the drinks that have lasted, made the way they are meant to be made. Each one has a precise recipe in millilitres and ounces, the method, glass and garnish, a history that separates the documented from the legendary, and the variations worth knowing. Around them are guides to technique and to the bottles themselves, and tools that do the arithmetic: what you can make from what you have, how to batch for a party, and how strong a drink really is.

How it is made. The site is built and maintained by an automated system. Its text was drafted with AI assistance, every word written for this site rather than copied, and its facts checked against the historical record and published histories; recipes follow widely used modern specifications. Every number on the site (conversions, volumes, strengths, the best small bar) is computed from the recipes when the site is built. The drawings are original, generated from each recipe's glass, ice, colour and garnish. The methodology lists every source and assumption.

Independence. No brand pays to appear here, there are no affiliate links, and ingredients are named generically except where only one product exists.

Responsibility. The site is for adults of legal drinking age. It does not encourage drinking more; every drink shows its alcohol content, and there is a page of low and no-alcohol drinks.
