Music And Cocktails

Drinkify Brings Together The World Of Music and Drink

I have a new favourite website thanks to an email I received this week from Jane Chapman.

I will never listen to music the same way again…without wondering what drink would go well with my song of choice. What better to kick off the weekend?

The website? Drinkify

The creators? It was created in 24 boozy hours by Hannah Donovan @han (Design), Lindsay Eyink @leyink (Data), Matthew Ogle @flaneur (Code)

Basically, it automatically generates the perfect cocktail recipe to accompany any music. You enter the artist you’re listening to and it suggests a drink...so simple yet so brilliant.

OK so the cocktail suggestions may not always be perfect, sometimes they're just damn ridiculous (they have a disclaimer that says just that) but come on this is way too much fun!

My poor damn liver.

So to experiment…(research purposes people, research), I hit shuffle on my iPod and here are the first ten songs that came up…along with the beverage suggestions by Drinkify.

Michael Jackson – Don’t Stop Til You Get Enough / 8oz. Red Bull

Kelly Clarkson – You Found Me / 1 oz. Red Bull

Lady Antebellum – Need You Now / 1 oz. Laphroaig Scotch

RHCP – Scar Tissue / 1 Bud Light

Rihanna – Only Girl (In The World) / 1 oz. Red Bull + 1 oz. Tabasco sauce + 1 oz. Lemon Sour

Madonna – Music / 4 oz. Vodka

Pet Shop Boys – Always On My Mind / 8 oz. Red Bull + 8 oz. Rose’s lime juice + 4 oz. Hennessy

Lady Gaga – Born This Way / 6 oz. Vodka

U2 – Angel Of Harlem / 10 oz. Vodka

Stevie Wonder – Superstition / 12 oz. Hennessy + 12 oz. egg whites
