Pairing Alcohol & Music Made Easy


Have you ever been sitting around drinking beer or whiskey and thought to yourself, "Man, this booze does not mix with this music. I wonder how I would pair my tunes with my booze."
Well wonder no more because the genius's over at Drinkify have poured many hours and many drinks into creating the ultimate web site for matching cocktails with your taste in music. It's simply really, just head over to drinkify.org and type in your favorite band or whatever band you're listening to during consumption and Drinkify's magic cocktail generator will give you a drink specific to the band or the style of music.
So let's say you're hanging out listening to one of my favorite bands, Clutch. Head over to Drinkify and type in Clutch and you get the recipe for "The Clutch" consisting of 4 oz. of Jack Daniels, 4 oz. of Tonic Water, and 6 oz. Captain Morgan's Rum. Combine all three ingredients in a shaker and strain into a cocktail glass. Serve and stir vigorously. 
The best part about the site is not only do you get a kick ass cocktail but you get to hear some of the band's tunes you typed in. Plus, the list of bands is pretty deep. I didn't do a ton of searches but the more obscure bands I typed in actually had drink recipes. Here's some of my favorites from the searches I did:

"The Phish" - 1 bottle of Maker's Mark bourbon
                     1 bottle Ice Cream
                     1 oz. of Zubrowka Vodka
                     Combine in shaker and strain into cocktail glass. Stir and serve.


"The Doors" - 1 oz. LSD
                      Serve on the rocks, stir quickly. Garnish with a twist of grapefruit


"The Michael Jackson" - 8 oz. Red Bull
                                      Serve on rocks. Garnish with nutmeg.


"The Wu Tang Clan" - 1 bottle of Gin
                                   Serve neat. Stir quickly.

"The Anal Cunt" - 8 oz. Vodka
                            8 oz. Grenadine
                            8 oz. Coco Lopez
                           Combine in a high ball glass and serve. Stir slowly. 
                           Garnish with pickled carrot sticks.

The possibilities are endless!! Here's a link for it again in case you missed it up top. Now, if you'll excuse me I'm going to go pour myself a "Doors".
