Droogle - a Drink Recipe Search Engine

Find Drink Recipes at Droogle

Droogle

What is Droogle?

Droogle is a drink recipe search engine - yes, that's right; all Droogle focuses on are alcoholic drink recipes, mixed drink recipes, holiday drinks, and a ton more fun drink recipe stuff. It's a great way to look up drink recipes quickly and easily.

How To Search for Drink Recipes on Droogle

Searching for drink recipes - whether they're alcoholic drink recipes or otherwise - is very simple. Just navigate to the Droogle home page, and if you know what the base ingredient of your proposed concoction is, just type it in to the main search query bar. I typed in cider and got a ton of great results; anything from hot mulled cider to Don's Wicked Cider (sounds interesting).

Also, on the Droogle home page, you can browse through Droogle's Most Recent Searches. This is a great place to start for ideas; for example, I was able to view drink recipes for candy cane martinis.

Droogle's Liquor Cabinet, Suggest a Drink

I thought this was a great idea - Droogle has a feature called the Liquor Cabinet where you select ingredients you have already on hand from a long list, and then Droogle comes up with possible combinations for what you've got.

Droogle also lets you suggest a drink; you'll have to enter in a pretty detailed list of information including a Drink Name, Ingredients, what glass it should be served in, etc., and then submit it for review. Very cool.

Why Should I Use Droogle?

Droogle is a great place to find drink recipes fast and easily. I would love to see more features and depth added to Droogle in the future (it's still in beta at the time of this writing), such as a community message board where members could trade drink recipes, product reviews, and a way to bookmark drink recipes and store them on the site itself.
