We're slowly evolving our account dashboard, and todays update includes adding the most recent comments to the main dashboard, as well as a personal little mybar image at the bottom. We've also added a more welcoming intro box with some useful links in, and made the whole of the widget boxes clickable. Little big details

We've been a bit hesitant to just add more and more information to all our cocktail pages as theres already quit a bit on them, and we want users to easily find and use the recipe. But tags on a cocktail seemed such an obvious thing we were missing we couldn't resist. So .... we added them.

Check out the Watermelon Caipirinha for instance to see an example of the tags in action. Beautiful.

To be honest we are pivoting left right and centre at the moment, and we've tweaked a whole host of things. We've changed the layout on cocktail pages to be a bit more streamlined for desktop users, if the background information is super long, see the Metropolitan cocktail for example.

However we also noticed a small bug in the top ten overviews that meant we were showing the wrong text for some instances of the cocktail. This is now fixed ... phew

All our level up posts have been tweaked, added, modified and just bought inline to something we'd be more proud of showing and writing. We also added in some jump links to recipe cards, tweaked the index / contents at the top to be more useful, and made some nice small UI changes. Level up for the win!

We had a look at our users table the other day and saw a huge amount of suspected spam accounts. We've added some extra protection into the registration flow now, and also deleted around 6-7K spam accounts on the system. If you've been effected let us know, but we doubt we deleted anyone genuine.

Whilst powering through the new power tips for cocktails (see other change log entry) we decided it was time to a slight re-order on the home page. We've moved our great level up series to the top, as well as replacing the hero image with the latest level up post. This content is more fresh, more useful for readers.

We've also found a heap of tiny spelling mistakes, punctuation tweaks, some dark mode border colours, some padding .... that we've fixed throughout. Onwards and upwards.

From day one, we've always wanted to create a website that offers more than just your regular ingredient list and method, but wanted to teach, elevate and enhance a users knowledge and ability to create great cocktails.

Today is another step towards that never ending goal - cocktail Power Tips. We've spent a long time curating literally thousands of power tips for nearly all our cocktails. The top tips from masters of mixology - how to take an average negroni to a new height.

This is a premium only feature, but one that we think users will love and enjoy!

We've always thought our mini recipe cards, on our level up and blog posts, were always a bit lacklustre. They gave you readers the base information, but didn't quite fit into the feel of the whole site. Well we've spent this morning changing all this around, expanding and making the cards a ton more useful, and a ton more beautiful (grammar police alert).

For instance check out our History of the Sex on the Beach Cocktail article to see it in its full glory.

More tweaks for the win.

We've spent a ridiculous amount of time today tweaking a ridiculous amount of tiny details to try and not only enhance our SEO, but also to try and make it more informative for users of the site. This includes, but is not limited to:

And probably a host more. See our banana liqueur page to see where we're heading with some of the new ingredient information.

We've been putting off a host of tiny edge case bug fixes the past few weeks, but wanted to squish them all this morning. So, well, we did. Amongst others:
