Drinks & your palate

Your palate is a flavor fingerprint: your taste, scored on the same 21 dimensions as every drink and drawn with the same chart. That shared language is the trick — it means "does this drink match my taste?" is a real comparison, not a guess.

What feeds it

The palate is built from what you actually do, weighted by how much each action says about you:

Drinks you create speak loudest — you don't build a drink you don't want to taste.
Drinks you save count solidly.
Pours count too — every logged night is a data point, and a high rating means more than a shrug.

On top of the behavioral signal there are two deliberate inputs: a short taste quiz (six sliders — sweet vs. dry, subtle vs. bold) and a drink picker where you tap through classics you like and love. Both nudge the fingerprint rather than overwrite it, and you can retake either any time.

Signals blend by weight into one fingerprint — drawn on the same chart as every drink.

What it powers

The "Recommended for you" row on your home screen; the ranked recommendations on the palate page (filterable by base spirit); the "for your palate" suggestions when you're deciding what bottle to buy next; and the group blend when you host an event. Same fingerprint everywhere.

Reading it

Your profile's palate chart opens onto the full palate page: the chart itself, your strongest dimensions, a written summary of your taste, and — most usefully — the contributing drinks list, which shows exactly which drinks shaped the fingerprint and how heavily. Nothing about your palate is mysterious; every input is listed.

Correcting it

Taste data is only useful when it's honest, so you get an eraser:

Exclude a drink that doesn't represent you — the espresso martini you ordered for the table stops counting entirely, without being deleted from your history.
Exclude a single pour when the drink is you but that one night wasn't. The drink's other signals keep counting.

Excluded items stay visible (dimmed) in the contributing list so you can always change your mind. The palate recomputes immediately either way.

The palate improves with signal — a fresh account leans on the quiz and picker, and every save and pour after that sharpens it.
