How it works

The builder checks your ingredients against our library of classic, easy, low-alcohol and alcohol-free recipes. Garnishes are optional and don't count. Your selections are saved only in your own browser so they're there next time.

  • "You can make": every required ingredient is ticked.
  • "One ingredient away": recipes that need only one more thing — often a lemon or a mixer.
  • "Best next bottle": the single ingredient that would unlock the most new recipes.

Measure and enjoy responsibly

Recipes list measured amounts. Many cocktails contain 1.5–2 standard drinks. Offer the alcohol-free recipes to drivers and non-drinkers.
