if i was any good at this i would give it a shot but i just found this site the other day and just downloaded the program today. I did find somebodies recipe guide. I guess when i get time i will try to adapt it.

I wanna set this up on a touch screen to play music next to my bar and just look up drinks whenver

Sounds like a cool idea!
Just one suggestion - have a bartender friend look at your drink guide before you spend a lot of time "digitizing" it.
I ran a bar for many years - and spent over 10 years "slinging whiskey" as a bartender. There are a few good mixologist recipe books out there but many of the guides I ran across had totally bogus recipes - obviously written for a quick buck...ketchup in a bloody mary? -gag- The ones that come for free with a bottle of liquor are usually the worst. Better yet just ask your favorite barkeep how to make the drinks - good bartenders don't mind giving a customer a few pointers.

Other than that - go for it!

There are definately some websites out there too that tell you how to properly make drinks. Some of the tips are just a bunch of hooey I'm sure, but other tips are pretty good, like drinks needing a sour component to offset a sweet component and such.

That's pretty cool. There are definately a few things I'd do differently. A, tee everything into one faucet (and probably put in some check valves to keep it from losing prime) so then you just have the one faucet coming out. 2, touchscreen touchscreen touchscreen!

Realisticly this could be built for the price of a touchscreen, the price of the pumps, we'll factor in the price of some fixtures (tees, checkvalves, faucet) and that'd be about it. The rest is fairly nominal, the bar itself, the computer, the software (any guesses?)...........

This would be pretty dang cool.
