Wikipedia Cocktail Project

This page contains material intended to be humorous or reflecting of aspects of the Wikipedia/Wikimedia culture. It should not be taken seriously or literally.

The Wikipedia Cocktail Project is an experiment involving the design and concept of the modern day cocktail. Its purpose is to be an ever evolving formula accessible by all who may want to contribute to its future. Like the online encyclopedia, the Wikipedia Cocktail is the cocktail that anyone can edit.
