For the dipsomaniacs a taste of varied delights that may refresh parts other drinks cannot reach. Cocktails can be an expensive way to experiment and this may help.

There are four options. You can browse through the selection which includes over 300 drinks; you can find a cocktail containing certain ingredients; find cocktails using given ingredients; or describe the cocktail and have it searched out.

The third one I found most useful and realistic. Pick out what you've got and it tells you what to make! The last option was limited because some names are idiosyncratic hence I couldn't find Freddie Fudpucker. It is also limited in size.

The program is well organised with a menu and graphic representation of the cocktail in its glass with accompanying text and instructions.

A manual describes the workings and some information on types of glasses best used.

A good book on the subject is easier, cheaper and probably contains more information. You gain a novel approach to an ancient pursuit (hic! or is it, sic!).
