[edit] Notability

This page is meant to be similar to, say, the Margarita page. The reference section needs to be styled to Wiki rules, but I believe that otherwise the page has merit. Flip purr 02:31, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

Hello Flip purr. I agree with you that this is a notable class of mixed drinks, based on the research I have been doing with the WikiProject Cocktails. This article is going to take a fair amount of editing to make it encyclopedic enough for it to avoid being deleted for being nothing but a recipe. The notability will have to be demonstrated, and several citations will help. Take a look at Eggnog for some ideas. It's an article I helped to improve. It's not perfect, but some of the references in it might help. Please consider becoming an active participant in the WikiProject; it's a great place to discuss articles like this with others who are interested in the topic. --Willscrlt (Talk|Cntrb) 09:40, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Priority

This page is more of a how-to guide, which Wikipedia is not. The confusing and esoteric table of recipes should be removed and cleaned-up. The references section doesn't actually cite anything - properly at least. John Reaves 10:05, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] ==Adoption Notice==

I'm going to work on getting this article into shape.

The flip has significant historical importance, the style of drink has been around since at least 1862 (Thomas).
