So I just got a shirt, a shot glass, and a pint glass from the website Extra Tasty for submitting a "Drink of the Day" winner, the Busticator.

In fact, I got all this swag twice, because the Busticator won twice. Jubb: I have a small, ugly T-shirt that you're welcome to take as compensation for my pimping of your drink idea. Good luck getting it from me.

(It's aqua with two olives on crossed swords. Don't worry, the one I'm keeping is even more nonsensical.)

I was once very excited by the idea of Extratasy. It would, I thought, be a site where I could just enter in the booze and mixers I have and get good recipes.

Unfortunately, I tried to use it for exactly this purpose a few weeks ago and got 12 recipes, mostly for things like "Salt water" and "Simple syrup." There were some good, or at least legitimate, recipes, but they were overshadowed by crap I had no way to filter out.

If the site restricted you to recipes with alcohol or let you set rating minimums for recipe display, I'd use it again. Right now I'm happy to use this fabulous swag and wonder what might have been.
