A Cocktail-centric Search Engine
If you’re in search of a nice cocktail recipe forego using a normal search engine and check out this great site instead: Cocktail Database. As the name indicates, it is, indeed, a true database brimming with cocktail recipes. What gives this website it’s edge from your usual search engine is the true expertise that has been mobilized in order to build the database.
Each of the recipes have been selected by the two founders of the website, Martin Doudoroff and Ted “Dr. Cocktail” Haigh. Martin is responsible for creating the structure of the site, which aims to bring the world the first “IMDB of Cocktails”. Ted is the renowned author of the book “Vintage Spirits & Forgotten Cocktails”. The two have put their knowledge into verifying the origin of each recipe, authenticating them and making sure that nobody ends up with a disappointing, tasteless drink.
The search engine itself is really simple to use. If you already know the name of your cocktail and want to find out the way to make it, just type it in the search facility. If you’re in search for “that nice drink you had last week that had rum, blueberry syrup and lemon in it”, just tap in the ingredients and you’ll find your beloved Blueberry Rum Fizz.
That said, the Cocktail Database isn’t simply focused on recipes, it also features rubrics that can appeal to true aficionados. For example, check out the ‘Barware’ section, which offers a very complete tour of all of the different glasses, shakers and bar implements involved in the cocktail world. But, the greatest of all is definitively… the Mixilator.
To put it in simple terms, the Mixilator is a generator of random cocktails. But, instead of just picking a beverage out of nowhere, the Mixilator requires a few criteria that will help it find the perfect drink for you at the precise moment you’re looking for it. You specify the type of cocktail you would like (aromatic, spicy, fruity, etc), the strength of the alcohol, the level of complexity, and the time of day you will be enjoying your drink. The Mixilator then presents you with the ideal recipe that corresponds to your unique specifications.
Even if it certainly won’t ever replace the expertise of your local bartender, this kind of tool can be pretty useful for home entertainers and aficionados alike! You can see for yourself at http://www.cocktaildb.com/
