Cocktail Builder: What Can I Make with What I Have?
Tick what you have in your cupboard and fridge. We'll show you every cocktail and mocktail you can make right now, and which single bottle would unlock the most new drinks.
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.

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