I keep a separate database (I'm a programmer, so shoot me!). The bits that worked very well for me was to store the date that the recipe was added, a rating (core, outside core but to repeat, on file, unrated, pretend it doesn't exist). My notes on the drink can include the word "try". //
From this I can ask for drinks I rated 'C' or 'B2' in the last 6 (or whatever) months (which stops me losing them). I can also list drinks tagged 'try' //
I also keep a separate log of which cocktails we drank on each day, which allows me to list drinks we really enjoyed, that we haven't drunk recently. //
Other cunning plans also exist.

Finally a PRACTICAL use for all this computer business šŸ˜‹. Sounds amazing, Mike. I’m very much not a programmer! My homegrown muddle along version works not tooo badly for me, but I can see the advantage of something more systematic. I shall discuss it with my butler šŸ˜‰.
