Drinkify

Hello my dear internet cosmos!  I'm so sorry I didn't get back to you last Friday as I'd planned--things got especially busy leading up to an extremely impromptu trip to Boston (details to come) and after getting back from our whirlwind less-than-20 hour trip, we are still trying to catch up on sleep and chores while working all day every day!  Whew!

All that being said, I think my planned post from last week may actually be more needed at the end of this busy week.  So, here goes:

Let's say you'd like to have a few friends over this weekend, cook a small warm dinner and listen to something dreamy and soothing as your soundtrack--I'd choose Red Garland.

Or let's say you're planning a raucous BBQ, complete with yard games and a bonfire; you're gonna need some upbeat jams to keep the party going--I'd choose something like Vampire Weekend or Jurassic 5.

Or how about a night at home alone with a big bottle of wine, a good book, and a bubble bath--I'd definitely go with Bon Iver.

You work so hard planning your menu and your surroundings and your guests so that everything goes together perfectly.  Why not match your drink to your tunes?

Drinkify is a super addicting website where you can type in what music you're listening to and what drink would most appropriately coordinate with it.

For example:

While you're having your intimate dinner party listening to Red Garland, you should serve:

At your crazy BBQ, listening to Vampire Weekend and Jurassic 5, you should serve:

And in your bubble bath with Bon Iver, crack open a bottle of:

So, head over to Drinkify and have a musically inspired drink (or five) this weekend.  Not only will it help you recover from a busy week, but it will prepare you for the crazy holiday week ahead.

XOXO
