Methodology

Is this guide right for you?

Good fit if:

You want drinks that actually fit this setting, not just keyword matches
You want a ranked shortlist rather than a generic occasion list
You want flavour and strength context alongside the ranking

Poor fit if:

You need a complete drinks menu for an event
You need exact bar-specific values — these are data estimates
You expect a single 'best' drink for every person — occasion fit is personal
