Some basic recipes

p = uud = ice + ice + vodka = vodka on the rocksn = udd = ice + vodka + vodka = vodka on the rocks (stronger)L = uds = ice + vodka + bitters = vodka bittersp+ = u d-bar = ice + vodka/olives = extra dry vodka martiniK0 = d s-bar = vodka + bitters/cherry = vodka bitters with cherryD+ = c d-bar = vermouth + vodka/olives = vodka martiniB+ = u b-bar = ice + red wine/orange rind = sangriaH atom = uud + e = ice + ice + vodka + gin = extra dry gin and vodka martiniDecayed p -> W -> m + nm = whiskey + soda + lemonDecayed Z -> t + nt = rum + coke + limeDecayed W -> e + ne = gin + tonic + lemonHiggs -> ZZ -> m+ + m- + e+ + e- = whiskey + gin + lime
