Cocktails Data

Description

Ingredients of over 26 thousand cocktails, scraped from the web.

Usage

data(cocktails)

Format

A data.frame object with around 117,000 rows and 12 columns. The data were scraped from four websites: Difford's guide, Webtender, and Kindred Cocktails, all scraped in late 2017; and Drinks Mixer, scraped in mid 2018.

The columns are defined as follows:

amt

The numeric amount of the ingredient.

unit

The unit corresponding to the amount. The most common entry is fl oz, which is the unit for ‘main’ ingredients. The second most common entry is garnish. These two units account for over 95 percent of the rows of the data.

ingredient

The name of the ingredient. These may have odd qualifiers, or brand specifications. Some of these qualifications are stripped out in the short_ingredient field.

cocktail

The name of the cocktail.

rating

The rating assigned to the cocktail in the upstream database. For some sources, the ratings have been rescaled. Ratings are on a scale of 0 to 5.

upstream_id

An ID code from the upstream source.

url

The upstream URL.

votes

The number of votes in the rating, from the upstream database. Not always available.

added

The date the cocktail was added to the upstream database. Not always available.

src

The source of the cocktail, as listed in the upstream database. Usually not available.

short_ingredient

A shortened form of the ingredient, stripping away some of the qualifiers. This is subject to change in future releases of this package, when a better term extraction solution is found.

proportion

For ingredients where the unit is fl oz, this is the proportion of the given cocktail that consists of the given ingredient. For a given cocktail, the proportions should sum to one.

Note

The data were scraped from several websites, which falls in a legal gray area. While, in general, raw factual data can not be copyright, there is a difference between the law and a lawsuit. The package author in no way claims any copyright on this data.
