this cocktail builder takes what liquids you have around the place and tells you what cocktail you can whip up. i found it on the web 2.0 awards site, where it won first place in the ‘fun’ section. and deservedly so.
however, one small flaw that i noticed in this 2.0 application was that it only accepted legitimate beverages into the cocktail equation. that is, when i tried to enter ‘detergent’, ‘bleach’, ‘grey water’ and ‘molotov’ into the text field i was summarily rejected.
which means that the site won’t be of help when i want to invite my older brotheraround for ‘catchup drinks’ [payback time for those camel bites 20 yrs ago] .

Hey there, I’m Alex, the guy behind CocktailBuilder
Glad you like the site! And I’ll totally have to do a spinoff: ‘cocktail with detergents’ – discover new ways to poison your loved ones, lol.

dear alex. i feel a bit embrassed that you have read this post. when i said ‘flaw’ (and note that i said ’small’ in front of it) i didnt mean flaw per se. it was more an ‘opportunity for improvement’ type of comment. i look forward to cocktails with detergents as I am sure that certain brands of detergent blend better with others, etc.
