I like this website a lot and used it as the base recipe book for a program that will tell you what cocktails you can make with the ingredients you have, but also what cocktails you are “one ingredient away from.” https://github.com/ianthehenry/mixologician
It’s a little datalog script - input is a text file, output is a text file. I’ve used it a few times to decide what to pick up at the store!

I like cocktails. I like cocktail recipes. I don't know why this is on hacker news thought.

There ought to be an XKCD for this, but instead it's from the FAQ.
In short: somebody thought it was interesting enough to submit, and enough other people voted for it that it got to your attention.
That's it.
If it ends up with 2000 points and sits on the new page for 3 days, I'll be quite surprised, but strange subjects do that.

I’m a big fan of the Webtender [1]. A super old school website without style sheets. Tons of information, nicely organized, and everything loads super quickly, as it should be!
There's a weird bug with the infinite scroll where the page width and/or column widths randomly change slightly when I hit the bottom of the page every once in a while

A drink with bourbon and rye makes no sense imho. A rye is just bourbon with a higher percent of rye and less corn. You might as well call it blending your own whiskey.

Highly suggest making an old fashioned flight to try it out. Choose your favorite bourbon (which has a corresponding rye), and make 3 old fashioned, 1 with only bourbon, 1 with only rye, and 1 with a 50:50 blend. You might be surprised which you prefer.

This is pretty common in rum drinks, especially tiki. Like you said, rye offers something unique separate from traditional “bourbon” and so the flavor profile of the end drink is different
