Keep the top 20s coming please, I think we all find them such a great source of ideas new and old. New things to think about and old things we've not tried yet.

Somehow I've never done a gin basil smash! To be rectified very soon.

I'll be sure to. The Gin Basil Smash is a great cocktail. Thanks to our friends at Nonino, I'm going to try a Basil Smash made with grappa.

Just to take this one step further, apart from the top 20s the other way I think most people stumble in to new drinks on the site is by seeing discussions on the homepage and clicking through. Other discerning drinkers saying that something is lovely and worth a go is a much bigger draw than just searching yourself. Is there any way to increase the comments visible to more than just the last 3 please? By the time I wake up in the UK I would have missed plenty of chat from US folk for example that I will never then get to see. Just an idea, more than 3 could look a bit clumsy on the homepage potentially, maybe a link to 'discussions' where people can see the last 20 or so posted comments?
