Drink Discovery & Recipe Platform

I’m creating Drinkingsoff, a dedicated place where anyone—whether they prefer cocktails, craft beer, mocktails, or smoothies—can quickly find and review drinks of every kind. To launch the first public version, I need a complete platform that brings together two core experiences:

• Drink discovery and personalised recommendations so visitors can explore both alcoholic and non-alcoholic options with smart search and filter tools.
• Step-by-step drink recipes, presented in a clean, mobile-friendly layout, with images or short clips for each preparation stage.

At this stage I’m not adding a rating system; my focus is a fast, visually engaging discovery flow and a well-structured recipe library. I’m open to your suggestions on the best stack, but whatever you choose must support:

– A scalable database for drink metadata, ingredients, and images.
– An intuitive admin dashboard where I can upload new drinks easily.
– Clean, well-documented code so future features like user reviews can slot in without rework.

Deliverables on hand-off:
1. Fully functional web application (responsive) deployed to a cloud host of your choice.
2. Source code in a Git repository with clear setup instructions.
3. Basic style guide (colour palette, typography) to keep the brand consistent.
4. Short walkthrough video or live demo link showing the main flows working end-to-end.

Once these pieces are solid, I’ll move on to social features and ratings, but for now I’m laser-focused on discovery and recipes done right. If this aligns with your skill set, I’m eager to see how you’d approach it.
