My Social Context:
The social context/situation that I have decided to use for my Task 2 project is a Cocktail Recipe sharing concept. I have used this context because I have been a professional bartender and working in the hospitality industry for nearly 2 years. I thoroughly enjoy making cocktails because it is one of the most exciting aspects of my job and its great to be able to create drinks using technique and knowledge that people can really enjoy! This has created a passion for learning more about cocktails and mixology (using advanced expertise on ingredients, methods & flavour combinations to make unique drinks for customers).
In my next step I set out to find a website which would allow myself to create or be apart of a cocktail recipe sharing community, where one could post new cocktail recipes to and then have them reviewed for example. Initially my search was difficult, as all of the websites I found to that stage where based on food recipe sharing concepts eg: Good Recipes and Recipecan. I on the other hand wanted to find a community solely for cocktail recipes. After narrowing refining and narrowing my search I found a site called Kindred Cocktails.
About Kindred Cocktails-
Kindred Cocktails is an online community where one can collect, categorize and review cocktail recipes posted by other people. One of the unique and best qualities of this website is that I can create my own recipe book full of other people cocktail recipes that I enjoy, wish to try and find interesting. At the same time the site allows me to send recipes via email, sharing via online media sites and even suggest this recipe to other account users. Another interactive feature of Kindred Cocktails that I believe I will find very beneficial and amusing is that there is a comment section for individual recipes where other members can critique and provide feedback on individual recipes.
