Extratasty is a frivolous site, but it’s also useful if you are looking for a good drink recipe.
Users submit drink recipes. Ingredients are tagged and searchable. Drink recipes are ratable. There is an option to include all of the things you have in your bar, and the site will tell you what drinks are possible in different combinations.
This is definitely a work in progress. Search seems only to work for ingredients, not actual drink names. Ajaxian noted that there is a lot of room to include ajax on the site. I agree. And they are still building out the friends section. But it is a fun site and, I suppose, could generate enough page views to build up a minimal amount of advertising revenue.
So sit back, mix yourself a drink, and read about some other sinful websites I’ve written about today. I’m going to check out some other new stuff that may have a larger business impact on the web.
See all

I started using extratasty a few days ago, and was disappointed in the selection of items you can add to your ‘pantry’. Couldn’t add ouzo, a Greek aspirtif.
Anyway, i’m commenting because of an idea i have - but don’t know enough coding to execute.
essentially, its a beer rating system - rate beers based on differnt things, get it mobile and local (good pubs with good selection, update your profile from the pub on your cell phone) then it gives you suggestions once it learns the type of beer you like. i love the idea - feedback?

Site looks fantastic, and it’s pretty cool they’re launching it while still building it. Those guys have mad skill.
BTW, Michael, these are the fellas behind Threadless. Not sure if you knew
“There is an option to include all of the things you have in your bar, and the site will tell you what drinks are possible in different combinations.”
Not working for me; it keeps returning 0 recipes. If you need to be logged in for that to work, shouldn’t it tell you so?
Daniel, I had the same error. I’m assuming they’ll fix it soon, so I didn’t mention it. I probably should have.
This is actually something that is useful. Recently I was trying to find cocktail recipies based on what i had in the cupboard. Tags to the rescue!
