Why Cocktail Recipes?

Cocktail Recipes was built to solve a simple problem: cocktail recipes in WordPress posts are often unstructured and tied to a theme’s formatting. This plugin provides a consistent and reliable format which keeps content clean, portable and easy to maintain. It is optimized for bloggers, bartenders and anyone writing about cocktails.

It also makes it quick and easy to include a recipe without writing out lengthy instructions. The plugin generates a complete presentation from basic input, automatically. You just list the ingredients and garnishes, specify the method, glassware and ice, and it does the rest.

Example Shortcode

[cocktail] 2 oz gin 1 oz St-Germain 3/4 oz lime juice method: shaken glassware: coupe garnish: lime twist [/cocktail]
