Data

The underlying data to power the shiny app is also available from this package. It is called, simply, cocktails. This data frame has rows for each ingredient, with amounts, and units, and is joined to information about the cocktail, which is identified by name, an upstream ID, URL, rating, number of votes, and more.

library(cocktailApp)
library(dplyr)
library(knitr)
utils::data("cocktails", package = "cocktailApp")
cocktails %>% arrange(desc(rating)) %>% head(n = 10) %>% 
    select(cocktail, ingredient, amt, unit, rating) %>% 
    knitr::kable()
