Site of the Week: DrinksMixer.com
Hi all,
Apologies for the delay this week. As I mentioned in an earlier post, Western Power had a lot to do with the delay, being unable to sustain power to my suburb on Sunday. We also had a couple of extra power points added to our house today, so it wasn't until now that I am able to sit down and type up my review of my latest site of the week.
So lets get this show on the road!!
Site of the Week: DrinksMixer.com
Site URL: http://www.drinksmixer.com/
Visit this site if...: If you happen to be planning a cocktail party anytime soon, this is THE site for you. If you happen to be curious as to what makes up an Irish Car Bomb, a Red-Headed Slut or a Well Greased Dwarf, then this site is also for you. Of course, if you like a drink here and there, and feel up to trying a different mix, this site is certainly worth your while.
Synopsis: What drew me to labelling this particular site my Site of the Week was its simplicity. Upon visiting the website's home page, you'll see what I mean.
The front page has a simple search function, allowing you to search by recipe or by ingredients. Alternatively, if you happen to know the name of your cocktail of choice (such as the ones I named above, or as found in the popular Tequilla song by A.L.T. and the Lost Civilization), simply navigate to the top of the page, and click on the letter that corresponds to the cocktail's first letter, and follow the links.
Whilst I have been referring to cocktails for the most part of this review, this is not the only type of drink you will find on the site, for you will find the recipes for drink from shots and liqueurs to non-alcoholic drinks such as tea, coffee and fruit punch, making sure that the site caters to all tastes and pleasures.
However, this site simply isn't just a database for drinks of all tastes, colours and sizes, no siree bob! The site also has guides on how to mix drinks effectively, as well as what certain terminology on the site actually refers to (such as layering, straining, shaking and stirring; and the degree to which you do each), which I think is a handy feature for novices and those who are trying to make the perfect drink.
And finally, for all of you competitive types, there is a drinking games section, which is particularly good, especially if you're tired of bouncing coins into an empty glass as a means to reason why you should scull another drink :P
So until next time, 再见!

I don't drink alcohol, but that was very interesting.
