From December 2006 through February 2007, the primary project of the WikiProject Cocktails was a Wikipedia-wide search, identification, categorization, cleanup, merge, and appropriate purges of all mixed drink related articles (which also includes beer cocktails, wine cocktails, shooters, non-alcoholic mixed drinks, drink mixers, cocktail garnishes, and drinkware).

In February 2007, the focus has changed to article assessment, adding our infobox to articles, article improvement and/or merging, and other

You do not have to be a Participant of the WikiProject to help. If you see or create an article which falls within the scope of our Project, please tag the talk page with {{WPFOOD|mix=yes}} (please refer to the documenation).

Project members should regularly check the mixed drink article stubs and Project To-Do List to find where additional help is needed. Obviously any articles being considered for deletion should receive the highest priority. All articles should be reviewed for quality and depth of information.

• Articles that are essentially nothing but drink recipes or lists of ingredients, should have the ingredients copied to the List of cocktails or a related list, and then note the talk page that this was done. The articles must be converted to redirects to preserve GFDL licensing and contribution information for the merged information. Many editors are not aware of this, so it should be mentioned (strongly if necessary) in any AFD discussions.
• Articles with more information, such as historical information, notability, pop culture references, origins of the name, etc. should have the recipe and preparation notes moved into the {{WPMIXInfobox}}.
• Review the information remaining in the article after the infobox conversion. Rate and prioritize the article on the talk page within the {{WPFOOD|mix=yes}} tag. This is a very important step so that other Project Participants can prioritize their efforts most efficiently. For more information, please visit the Assessment Department.
• Excellent articles that you feel should serve as good examples for other articles should be added to the Cocktail Articles of Quality list. This helps everyone gain an understanding of what the other articles should look like.
