Description:
The purpose of this application is to give the users the ability to find drink recipes via different methods. There are three different ways to find recipes with one basic results page. The first way to find drinks is by a search. The second would be to use the Browse Recipe section that allows users to filter out the entire database of drinks. Finally, the most unique part of the application is the ability to enter in the contents of the users bar and find out potential drinks to make through My Bar.
A basic task of the application would include adding alcohol and mixers to your personal bar, which is saved on the server if you’re logged in, and then seeing what recipes you can make with what you have available. The ability to filter out results based on type of alcohol, mixers, and even a specific search is there for use as well on the results page. Beyond this, social aspects have been implemented including a rating system and user made recipes.
The intended users of this site include anyone who drinks, especially beginners who don’t know recipes, but also drinkers who just want to try something new.

Benefits and Drawbacks
A benefit of working on a project like this is that it takes little to no explanation when talking about it with someone, as everyone either drinks, or knows about drinking. The way we set it up, however, made coding as a group difficult. There was a local database of recipes on one member’s computer, so work had to be done around that one person’s schedule and also their computer. I’d still recommend doing a search/database style project to anyone, as it’s relatively simple in concept, but provides room to expand and flexibility to design.
