Site suggests cocktails based on taste in music

Drinkify

By Rosa Golijan

There are plenty of reasonable excuses for hitting the bottle, but ??generally speaking?? music isn't one of them. Until now.

That's because there's now a website which will suggest cocktails based on the music you happen to be listening to.

The site's called Drinkify?and ??according to its description?? it creates?drink suggestions by combining technologies from Echo Nest (a music intelligence platform which helps identify and analyze music) and?Last.fm (a music catalog) with a "proprietary Drinkify database."

This means that you can enter an artist name or a song title in order to receive a simple drink recipe.

I entered "Johnny Cash" and was told to combine some whiskey and honey. I put in "Jimi Hendrix" and was told to enjoy some bourbon (served neat).

Not bad.

But then I entered "Justin Bieber" and I was baffled to find that the site recommended ... an energy drink. Is Drinkify perhaps tweaking suggestions based on whether an artist is of legal drinking age?
