And here is that list of 102 cocktails. And being me, rather than setting out to go to bars and try them all, I wonder about setting out to make them all, at home. That could be fun.

So it turns out that the International Bartenders Association maintains a list of cocktails (presumably in an effort to standardise training a bit. While I've got books containing hundreds (if not thousands) more on my shelves, this is probably the closest thing the world has to an "official" list of cocktails, and this chap tells the story of his setting out to drink them all.
