Just in Time for Saint Patrick's Day: CraveOnline Acquires DrinksMixer - Most Visited Collection of Drink Recipes on the Web
LOS ANGELES, March 10 /PRNewswire/ -- CraveOnline.com(TM)
(http://www.CraveOnline.com) a leading lifestyle destination for men
featuring video, movies, TV, music, sports, games, cars, humor and more,
announced today just in time for Saint Patrick's Day, that it has acquired
DrinksMixer.com (http://www.DrinksMixer.com), the Internet's most visited
collection of cocktails and drink recipes.
Since August 2002, DrinksMixer has accumulated over 16,000 mixed drink
recipes from all over the world and has developed an active community of
users who participate in discussions on each recipe. The site attracts an
average of 1.5 million visitors a month up to 6 million a month during
popular holiday periods.
The acquisition supports CraveOnline's leadership position in the
highly competitive male youth market by building upon the already popular
CraveCocktails (http://www.CraveOnline.com/Cocktails/) site. CraveCocktails
is lush with regular features including the Drink Calculator, where
inputting up to any 5 ingredients returns a selection of cocktail recipes
from one of the largest databases available anywhere, and the Drink
Creator, where the community can share favorite concoctions and stories
that go with them. The site also suggests some rather unusual and effective
Hangover Cures and has become a regular destination for bartending
professionals, home bartenders and legal age cocktail enthusiasts, and club
goers.
"DrinksMixer offers a compelling incentive for alcohol and beverage
brand advertisers," stated David Cohn, SVP/Advertising Sales for
CraveOnline. "The site provides an exceptionally targeted audience for
these advertisers and enormous potential for creative integrations which
deliver marketing messages as an uninterrupted part of the user
experience."
