Extratasty: Drinking the Web 2.0 way
There are a lot of drink
recipe sites and some of them will give you a list of drinks you can make based on your list of what your bar is

RSS feeds, and AJAX. But beyond all that, it's social software that works really well. Its "My Bar"
Google-Suggest-alike interface makes it easy to create a list of what ingredients you have, and it's smart enough to
know that, for example, Pepsi and Coke can be substituted in most recipes, or that Goldschlager and Firewater are both

juice. Drinks that you can make with what you've got can be displayed in a nice recipe card list, and of course you can
rate drinks, leave comments, and even suggest alternate recipes. Brilliant!
