That, and a gift card to the liquor store…<\/p>\n

I created the Grogalizer<\/a> a few years ago because I was tired of spending lots of time thumbing through the Beachbum Berry<\/a> books looking for a recipe I could make with what I had on hand.<\/p>\n

It was a goal to make every tiki drink recipe in that book. So I had long been going through and marking a grade in the corner of each page as I made it. The Grogalizer<\/a> simplified all that. You just select the ingredients you have in your bar and it tells you which tropical drinks you can make. Then you can grade them and add your comments. You can see the average vote for the drink given by everyone and see their suggestions as well. A new feature allows you to see your graded recipes from\u00c2\u00a0best to worst.<\/p>\n

I use the site all the time and as I find a need, I create a solution there.<\/p>\n

I assumed everyone already knew about this site, but, just to be sure, I am sending out this post. If you are making the recipes in these book, you need to use the site. Or, one day when you catch the mixology<\/a> bug, you’ll need it then.<\/p>\n

And if you don’t have them yet, you need to buy The Grog Log<\/a>, Intoxica<\/a> and Taboo Table<\/a>. The new one is coming out and you are behind!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
