Week Waru - Part 2 Web 2.0

Well for the Web 2.0 sites, I went straight for the award winners and the one that caught my eye was Cocktail Builder which was awarded 1st place for fun stuff. I agree with that it does look like a very good site for cocktail connoisseurs even though Im not one at the moment but it does give some good ideas of some cocktails that are possible to make and help you look the part. You can even type in what spirits you already have and they give you a list of what you can make or the extra mixers or spirits you need to complete the cocktail or shot. The website isn't the most eye catching but they are looking for a web designer and it has the bare necessities and still made it to number 1 without it so just imagine after it has been given a total make over.

You can even stock up your collection of bar supplies such as shakers, different types of glasses etc. You can put up your own cocktail suggestions to share with others. And the BEST thing they offer is that you can type in what you have in your bar and a menu comes up with all the drinks your guests can choose from so you just print that out and your an instant bartender!

I've also obviously been through Del.icio.us which is rated 1st in the bookmarking category and I've signed up to that and have made myself an account.
