Define Generic Ingredients

As a Host, I want to define generic ingredient types (like “bourbon”, “vodka”, “simple syrup”), So that my recipes can reference ingredients abstractly without being tied to specific brands.

Acceptance Criteria

• Given I am creating or editing a recipe
• When I add an ingredient to the recipe
• Then I can select from a list of generic ingredients (e.g., “Bourbon”, “Vodka”, “Lime Juice”)
• And each generic ingredient has:
  • Name
  • Type (spirit, mixer, modifier, sweetener, garnish, bitters)
  • Flavor profile characteristics
  • Standard measurement units
• And I can create new generic ingredients if they don’t exist
