I just about read a neat bar trick over at You Look Like I Need a Drink.

Scenario: You are at a bar, and because there is a lack of coasters, your cold frothy beverage is placed on a napkin

The inherent problem with this oft used coaster replacement is that as the condensation forms on the outside of your glass, it eventually follows the laws of gravity and inevitably, the napkin ends up stuck to the bottom of your glass as you are toasting to your friends.

I won't spoil the solution... head on over to http://chalkline.blogspot.com/2006/12/salty-napkin-trick.html!

Disclaimer: I haven't had a chance to try this yet... your milage may vary.

Metacafe has a great video demonstrating how conical glasses can look mostly full, even if they're not.

Some All Hallow's Eve recipes for your Halloween weekend.

First, take your traditional "bobbing for apples" game, add some vodka and an I'm feeling sober button... and you get Bobbin' For Apples Punch!

Next, get frighteningly drunk * from the spooky Jagermonster. A nice formal drink, served in a beer mug.

Now, howl at the moon with the scarily blue Moontini.

Lastly, when you're feeling dead from a night of hijinks, revive yourself with the Corpse Reviver.

*please consume responsibly

We've been working on and off on Anytini.com for nearly a year now. It's been mostly working on our day jobs lately, but we want to change that.

We have some neat features in the pipeline, but we'd like to find out what you, our users, would like to see.

So, if you have any great features, let us know!

I'd like to take a moment to highlight three drinks from Anytini.

The Good

One of my favorites, The Manhattan. A bit of burbon, vermouth, and a dash of bitters makes for a wonderfully strong yet smooth drink.

The Bad

A recent addition to Anytini, the Tunatini is horrendous, but could certainly be worse. The comment by Ryan says it all…

The Ugly

Our third drink is aptly named Ugly. Some beer, some tomato juice and a guttural scream of ”UGLY!!” awaits you with this crazy recipe.

If you have an idea for an Anytini Drink Highlight posting, please send us feedback.

Thanks to some great design work by Tom, and some tweaking by myself, we have a new site design! Personally, I think it’s much better.

If you’d like to comment on the new design (or anything else for that matter), send us feedback.

Last night, we hit 100 drinks!

Thanks to Ryan, and myself, we have over 100 drink recipes in Anytini!

At least once we let the world know we exist, there will be more than a couple of recipes available.

Thanks to everyone who has entered recipes thus far.

I’m feeling sober!
