✍️ Make Custom Icons for Cocktail Recipes

Make cocktails content more playful

Whats the goal?

I wanna add a little more playful energy to the website, especially the cocktails section. I think itd be fun to have an icon for each specific tool used in making the cocktail. Then lining those up in a row above the instructions.

Going further, it could be fun to make a kinda ikea-isque visual instruction steps for making the cocktail.

Icon List

  • shaker
  • fine mesh strainer
  • cocktail strainer
  • jigger
  • coupe glass
  • rocks glass
  • collins glass
  • peeler
  • juicer
  • large piece of ice
  • crushed ice

How to make it happen?

  • make custom icon

  • map instruction keywords to icons and on "typeOf: cocktail" posts, list those icons above the instructions
    • or update posts from MD -> MDX (to allow components in the markdown body) - OR

Make custom icon

This youtube walk thru makes it feel like I could make these icons happen in Adobe Illustrator.

Illustrator costs $21 per month.

Start by making a cocktail shaker icon at 15x15? 30x30?
