I spotted an interesting data standardization anomaly:
"A The Last Word is a Gin Gimlet but you replace simple syrup with green chartreuse, replace lime juice with maraschino, and add lime."
It appears that "lime juice" and "lime" exist as separate ingredients in the ingredient lists, even though they're exactly the same thing. It looks like this is causing a false separation of the Last Word cluster (drinks containing "lime") from the Gimlet cluster (drinks containing "lime juice") in the 2D plots.
- chillydawg 8y agoPerhaps lime juice is juice and lime is a slice of lime?
- bch 8y agoIt’s not, in this case. Last word: 3/4oz ea of gin, maraschino, green chartreuse, lime juice. Shake over ice. Delicious in served in a coupe glass garnished w a maraschino cherry.
- mason55 8y agoGimlets are more often made with lime cordial, marketed as Rose’s lime juice. This is different from fresh lime juice in that it has sugar and other stuff added. https://www.jeffreymorgenthaler.com/lime-cordial/ https://www.jeffreymorgenthaler.com/lime-cordial/
- bonniemuffin 8y agoInteresting. I have two concerns with your "lime means Rose's lime juice" hypothesis. (1) When I google "gin gimlet recipe", all search results I looked at (the top 4) call for "fresh lime juice" as the ingredient, leading me to believe that fresh lime juice is more common as a gimlet ingredient. The article you linked even states that fresh lime is more common: "A lot of bartenders out there adopt the fresh-lime-juice-and-sugar method of making lime cordial." (2) Why would a recipe use the word "lime" to refer to Rose's lime juice? It seems like no one would ever be able to make the cocktail correctly if they had to infer that "lime" refers to Rose's lime juice rather than fresh lime juice.
