DENVER -- It's time for all those holiday parties.

If you're hosting a holiday party, you might need to brush up on your bartending skills. But if you don't know much about mixing drinks or the difference between an apple martini and a cosmopolitan, there is a Web site that can help.

It's CocktailDB.com, which has thousands of drink recipes, which you can search by name or by main ingredient.

You can whittle down your search by drink type and drink base.

So if you or your guests want something with a fruit-flavor liqueur, you can pull up the hundreds of drinks that could be made with that liqueur and print out instructions on how to make them

If you like specialties and flavors from around the world, the site can sort drinks by country of origin.

And if you're tired of the same drinks and don't know what to try, the site has a Mixilator -- you tell it what you're in the mood for and the site pulls up a random recipe to try out, similar to a virtual bartender.
