Want to learn to mix the perfect martini? Google’s got you. The search giant has added cocktail recipes directly into its search results, The Vergereports.
Search “martini,” for instance, and on the lefthand side of the Google results page, you’ll find a bevy of information on the gin and vermouth beverage. Along with a blurb from Wikipedia, there are a few subsections, such as main alcoholic ingredient (gin in this case), along with additional ingredients, preparation, how it’s served, the standard garnish and what you should pour it into once mixed.

Food, The Verge notes, has been part of the company’s Knowledge Graph for some time, but it was only when the app’s engineers noticed a strong interest in cocktails that they were added. The most-searched cocktails for the year so far: the Moscow Mule, Margarita and Bloody Mary.
The new feature could be trouble for recipe websites that make money by selling ad space next to their drink-making instructions. Google recently whipped up similar tensions with some medical sites when it started putting detailed symptom and treatment information directly in search results.
