Cocktail Rating Scale

 

I was falling into the unhelpful trap of rating every cocktail fairly high on a ten-point scale.  There was probably some sort of bias going on there -- I took the time and effort to make the damn thing, so maybe I'm predisposed to give it a higher rating.  I also don't tend to make something if the recipe doesn't look good.  As a result, most drinks were between a 7 and a 10.  But I decided I wanted something a little more objective, so I found this online.  It's helpful to assign a descriptor to a rating, and it's easier to call out the drinks I really don't like (looking at you, Dark 'n Stormy).

1    Awful
2    Bad
3    Flawed
4    Meh
5    OK/Average
6    Pretty Good
7    Good
8    Great
9    Terrific
10  Near Perfect
