Amir Khella - Stories about design, business and life. The Only Chart You Need To Mix A Proper Cocktail. We’d been trying to complete a chart of cocktails for over a year. It’s sorta been Pop Chart Lab’s white whale. This journey started, as every PCL chart does, with a bunch of research dumped into Excel. In December 2010, we compiled a document of nearly 200 cocktails broken down by ingredients. Then we moved into OmniGraffle. In our first attempt, we grouped the spirits, wines, liqueurs, cordials, etc., and then started drawing lines connecting each ingredient to the appropriate cocktail.

We could tell right away this likely wasn’t going to work. Convinced this wasn’t going to work, we put the idea on the shelf for a few months. Our breakthrough here was putting the chocolates in the center, the candy bars in a ring around the outside, and then the other ingredients at the top and bottom. We knew this same arrangement could work for the cocktails chart if we put the shared ingredients in the center and the cocktails in a ring around them.
