Feature request: Add cocktail ingredients as percentages of the total liquids on a cocktail's recipe screen #558

First of all, I wanna say that I absolutely love this app, thank you!

At the moment, when looking at a cocktail's recipe, the liquid ingredients are shown in metric/imperial as an absolute value. It would be cool if those same ingredients would also be shown as percentages of the total liquid in the cocktail (for example, instead of stating just "Gin --- 40ml" in the ingredients of a Gin & Tonic, state "Gin --- 40ml/25%" (or something similar).

To be clear, I don't think replacing the absolute measurement units with percentages is right. I think both are useful and complement each other.

Absolute values are useful when you have good measurement tools at hand. Percentages are more useful when you don't, and have to eyeball it (especially when you're drunk :P).
