Pretty bland selection of cocktails if you're making do without any vermouth I'd say. I see the site the list was taken from no longer exists. Perhaps unsurprisingly!

soda water is carbonated water not 7 up which is sweet - though I'm not sure what club soda is, maybe they're the same?

Club soda = soda water. They're not the same as 7-Up or sprite, both of which are sweet.

I am equally alarmed that tonic water was grouped together with seltzer/club soda and 7Up. For as different as club soda and 7Up are, tonic water is that much MORE dissimilar. If you don't believe me, try your next 7&7 with tonic water… or your next gin and tonic with seltzer water. These three clear mixers are so very NOT interchangeable!

I have a medical condition which prohibits me from ingesting quinine. I'm not a drinker but if I ordered a 7&7 and a bartender made it with tonic water we'd both be in a world of hurt.

apparently whtever this site just uses juices and triple sec and no ice, cola or bitters... or anything at all remotely close to mixing drinks. And yes I saw the no ice after I typed ice. since first thing that goes into most cocktails is ice. no hot sauce, salt, or anything even remotely close to the mixed drinks I have had :)

Surprised not to see bitters or Campari. Blue curacao - you could have given me 15 minutes longer and I would not have come up with that.

It was the first thing I thought of oddly, dont know why, but I didnt try it! Thought it was too obscure and maybe only used in 1 cocktail.

I never would have come up with coffee liqueur. Missed amoretto too, but there atleast was a chance of getting that if I had 5 more minutes :)

No. Triple sec is clear & blue curaçao is (surprise surprise) blue. There's also orange curaçao, or at least there was when I was tending bar.

I understand that the ingredients were sourced from another Website, but...

Soda water is club soda. It's not plain water & it's not 7-Up or Sprite or any clear sweetened soda.

Tonic water or quinine water is not soda water; it's a completely different beast.

I tended bar for three years & definitely used cola, water, tonic water, sours mix, & ginger ale way more than Irish cream, brandy, amaretto, blue curaçao, coffee liqueur, & grenadine.

My brain isn't working today - I could only think of Amadeus for Amaretto, and Blue Caribbean for Blue Curacao. Also found it interesting that schnapps wasn't accepted, but peach was.

I got amaretto but it was accepted. I guess I typed an extra r (which should stll be accepted imo, would still be pronounced the same)

Can anyone tell me what the difference is between irish cream and other cream?

Irish cream is a liqueur made with cream and whiskey, whereas cream is, you know, cream.

Not QM's fault, but the source is trash. No vermouth(s), no bitters (of either the Campari/Aperol or Angostura/Peychaud's categories), no tonic, no ice, no absinthe, no cachasa, no mint, no triple sec, no onion/olive/zest, no sugar, no salt, etc., etc.,

No surprise, then, that only a couple of their most popular cocktails are drinkable.

Really have to question this source, especially since it is no longer available. Triple Sec is used more than Lemon or Lime juice? No cola listed? I assume bourbon is included in Whisky (which by spelling would be Scotch or Canadian)

Vermouth is something totally different. Cointreau is accepted, it is a brand of triple sec, which is an orange flavoured-liqueur.

The base of vermouth is wine, and the same plant used to make absinth is used to make vermouth.
