This week's challenge comes to us from ACE @patrick_digan

 

Using the provided URL, download and parse the data in the recipe for an Old Southern. Create a list of the cocktail ingredients and measurements.

 

Whiskey (and other spirits) and analytics go surprisingly well together.  Head on over to our Events page to join an evening of whiskey tasting and data sampling near you. 

 

I prefer my analytics shaken...not stirred.I prefer my analytics shaken...not stirred.

Quick challenge.  Put to work what I learned in the webscraping class at #Inspire19.  I might create an app from this website.  Now what's my drink...

I almost always use a Multi-Row Formula tool to create the group field, but luckily this time I remembered JSON has the group already in the name field, I just have to extract it.

Whoever solves this gets a free drink prepared by @patrick_digan himself, right?
