Linking
A lot of these recipes are transwikied articles, and need to be indexed using =====, so they can be linked to. -- SB_Johnny | talk 12:23, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

How is this done? I even RTFM, yet do not understand. 72.174.2.252 09:10, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

First time wikier here, so I dare not make the changes myself, but... we're missing Melon Ball (not bomb) and its close sister, Broken Down Golf Cart. The way I make it is - MB: 1 oz vodka, 1 oz Melon liquer (McGuinness is favored over Midori), shaken and poured over ice in a rock glass. BDGC: MB + 1 oz Amaretto.

More linking and TOC
Hi. Yes, I know the Table of Contents looks terrible right now due to an edit I made. I was attempting to do what SBJohnny suggested with the ===== so I can start cleaning up some of this stuff. Obviously that glitched up the TOC. I'd like to request that you help me fix the overall problem (creating links to specific drinks) rather than reverting my change because it looks terrible.

What I'm trying to do (and I added a notice to the Administrator's board requesting help) is to get the TOCright template to limit the number of subheadings it includes. That would solve the problem perfectly (I think). If anyone has any other ideas, I'd love to hear them. Thanks! --Willscrlt (Talk&middot;Cntrb ) 08:40, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Bullshot? not quite
The entry for a Bullshot is rather modern. The traditional bullshot was made using either vodka or gin as the spirit and (spiced) beef stock (real not cube), (spiced) oxtail soup, (spiced) beef consomme (don't know if that's tautologous) or (Spiced) congealed beef consomme, and no red bull whatsoever mixed with ice served with or without ice. The definitive bullshot recipe is presented as part of a (UK) television documentary on the life of Noel Coward, the one I'm thinking of features Nigella Lawson (before she slimmed down) as part of a group discussion, can't find the tape. I've heard of a variant that uses Beef Tea but... well, it's far from genuine or current. Truly woeful sentence structure, I know.

Proposal: Make this a terms glossary, not listing of recipes
This is, frankly, an insane undertaking and seems superfluous, given the individual cocktail pages. An index of recipes and a glossary of terminology would be more reasonable AP (discuss • contribs) 17:55, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
