Hi can anyone explain who invented an Aunt Agatha and when?..
25th March at 15:58
I don't know who created the Aunt Agatha or when, but it appears in Victor Bergeron's 1972 "Trader Vic's Bartender's Guide".

is there a way to sort cocktails by number of reviews?
11th August 2024 at 23:06
and while i'm asking, sort by number of comments would also be a great feature
12th June 2024 at 23:52
There is no way to find them by base alcohol, or maybe I am missing something

Sorry, we don't presently have a that function for Hall of Fame cocktails but a great suggestion to add to our Cocktail Finder.

There's actually only 290 now :)

Thanks, Avery. I'm better at mixing cocktails than maths! I've corrected to 290. All the best for your quest!

Happy New Year to all at Diffords.
I look forward to the updated list each January and the new Top 100 ‘searched for’ list.
I haven’t had any of the new 5 (according to my list) so now on the ‘to-do’. Can’t believe I’ve never had a Blue Hawaii !!!

Always look forward to the updated lists Simon/Paloma. I haven’t made 10 of the 11 so need to get these done asap to maintain my ‘Hall of Famous’ status!!!

The one that caught me out was the Hunter. Was not on my radar. I've made it many times today but I'm keen for feedback - as with all cocktails!

西蒙你开发的网站真的是太棒了。这里边好多鸡尾酒食谱都是你创作的吧，你真的是鸡尾酒天才。让我在没有灵感的时候，可以到这里来找灵感，不过我可能会借用一些你的配方。不过我会和别人说，这是一个叫西蒙的调酒师创作的。凌晨7点40了，我要去睡觉了。我会每天下班都来这里看看的，一个来自中国的调酒师、

非常感谢您的客气话。 很高兴知道我正在联系中国的调酒师。 我希望有一天能去参观。

Hi Simon, fantastic site you've developed!! It's helping explore a such a different range of cocktails we wouldn't normally try. Lockdown in Sydney's also giving us the time too. It'd be great to be able to search drink based on the spirits we have.
23rd August 2021 at 06:35
Thanks for your kind words John. Our site is both a labour of love and a work-in-progress.
23rd August 2021 at 02:10
Hi John, Simon will be thrilled to hear this. I'm Jane, the Australian editor by the way. You can search based on what spirits you have at home by heading up to the cocktail builder - on the left of the navigation bar. Add everything you've got at home to 'your ingredients' and then hit 'you can make'. Hope this helps the lockdown.

I'd love to see in the cocktails you can make, filter by spirit base. E.g. people like tequila so filter by those, search currently only brings up cocktails with the word tequila in the title.
Thanks for everything you do.
Thanks for everything you do.

This site is incredible. Had it recommended by two different mates and had to try. I've been drunk ever since! Thank you Simon

How do I look specifically for low abv cocktails?
12th May 2021 at 18:21
Please click the Cocktails tab and then select Cocktail Finder. Then use the Flavour profile scale by moving both slides on the Gentle to Boozy scale towards the gentle end.

So I thought about this checklist option. If you’re serious about making one my suggestion would be.... 1. Make it printable. 2. Also make it so you can rate it . Thanks for considering. I love your book!
15th March 2021 at 08:05
Thanks Renee. It will likely be this summer before you see the upgrade but I'm very serious about following your suggestion.
13th March 2021 at 20:49
I would love to have a simple checklist so I could check them off as I try them.
14th March 2021 at 09:49
Thanks for a great idea. I'll add to our new features wish/to-do list.
5th March 2021 at 17:54
Thanks to all the team and yourself Simon! A very interesting pond to gather old and new ideas... This year has been very difficult for the industry so having things to fill your mind is a good thing. Thanks again!
6th March 2021 at 17:50
Thanks for your kind words. This site is our labour of love.
9th January 2021 at 22:31
Thank you Simon and team! This is a fun tool to explore, not only to see how many new ones I'd like to try but also to feel good about how many I actually made this past year with your encouragement and support. You truly helped us during these trying, home-locked times, and I have become a big fan of you and your site!
11th January 2021 at 07:40
Many thanks for your kind words. Comments like yours have given us great encouragement and support.
1st October 2020 at 23:10
Great section! Could I suggest the idea of allowing an overlay of the 'ingredients you have' table on the cocktails featured here - then we could figure out what we can try now, and what key ingredients keep showing up in the things we can't make.
2nd October 2020 at 07:02
Thanks Adam. We are working on better integrating which cocktails you can make with Your ingredients along the lines you suggest. Hopefully not too far away now.

Truly amazing!
Simon, you have mentored so many bartenders through Difford's Guide. Your page is a stand alone institution and we all appreciate it!!
