Cocktail Parties - useful site

Hi All!
Now I know that cocktails aren't exactly money saving so don't shoot me please!, but I found myself with lots of bottles of various booze & stuff this Christmas (happy days:beer:) And having a few cocktail umbrellas and cocktail shakers (not to mention frozen lime & lemon slices - top tip I've seen in the OldStyle thread for if you've got some lemons & limes that need using up but you can't think what to do with them!).
Well I started wondering what exotic alcoholic delights I could whip up with them, did a bit of Googling but mostly found sites that pretty much assume you've got everything (not the usual case for all of us here alas
) Then I came across this one - which has the benefit that you can tell it what you have and It'll tell you what you can mix up & how, or even suggest what to get if you're just short one ingredient (Oh the temptation! - don't do it money savers!)
http://www.cocktailbuilder.com/
It has the feel of a bit of a work in progress (It says on the site he needs a web designer!) and the measures are all US Ozs but it isn't difficult to convert - it's really the proportions you need anyway (cupfuls? gallons....gulp)
So now you finally know what can be done with that bottle of Kahlua that's been sat there for three years since Aunty brought it back for you!
Happy New Year Folks
PS I have no connection whatsoever with the site - just thought it was a neat idea and a nice simple use of web2.0 tech without going overblown (was starting to think I'd have to build one myself...) and it took me a while to find so figure there may be a few of you out there who've searched for something similar!
