Web 2.0 Awards List Cocktail Builder

I am still trying to catch up on last weeks assignment. I am nearly there and the last part was to choose a site from the awards list and blog about it. Since I am a dapper cocktail maker and enjoy nothing more than experimenting with the contents of the drinks cabinet by mixing and shaking them about in the cocktail shaker with plenty of crushed ice. Images of the witches in Macbeth suddenly come to mind as they stir the contents of their cauldron adding eye of newt to spice it up. I can assure you my concoctions are alway thoroughly enjoyed by delighted guests. The thrill for me is making the cocktail and seeing what will work.

I was immediately drawn to Cocktail Builder, which metaphorically speaking dangles a carrot in front of you by asking what are the contents of your bar and suggesting possible cocktails to make. AS you enter the ingredients the potential of being able to make one of their concoctions fades further into the distance since the recipe suggestions keep changing and you get the feeling I will never be able to make one of these. However I did like some of their recipes and will obtain the ingredients and try them out on guests at the next soiree.

Overall if you knew nothing about cocktails and wanted to obtain some tips, its not a bad place to start. You can even make up you own recipes and suggest them to the site but you have to calibrate each part in ozs. Some of the cocktails have some unusual names like 1960s Black Devil, Screw the Devil, and horses neck.

There is the ubiquitious Sex on the Beach which seems to be on every bar menu around the globe. Maybe a new one could be sand in your bum after all that sex on the beach. Which would have to come with a tiny umbrella, and plenty of brown sugar and quite a sour taste maybe a whiskey sour and some bitters and possibly a flavoured vodka and slice of lime. There you are I have just invented a new cocktail thanks to cocktail builder.
