  2. Drinkify
    If you've ever wondered what your favorite artists drink, Drinkify will help you out. Let's say you're listening to Johnny Cash. You input "I'm listening to Johnny Cash" then boom! It will pull up a drink based on the singer. In case you're wondering, Johnny Cash's drink is 4 ounces Jack with 4 ounces honey. Sounds delish, am I right?

You can even narrow down options by minimum or maximum alcohol content.
