Cocktail finder

What can I make with what I have?

Tick what’s in your bar — see what you can shake. No sign-up, no waiting: the matching happens right here in your browser, across 274 recipes and 266 ingredients.

The ingredients these recipes call for most are lemon juice, gin, simple syrup and lime juice — a shelf with those on it already makes a first round. Ice and water are assumed, so you never have to tick them.

How it works

  1. 1Tick your barSpirits first — most drinks are built on one. Then the mixers, syrups and citrus you keep around.
  2. 2Read the two lists“Ready to make” needs nothing else. “Missing just one” tells you the single ingredient standing in the way.
  3. 3Shake somethingEvery result links to the full recipe: measurements, glass, garnish and the story behind it.

How does the cocktail finder work?

Tick the bottles, juices and garnishes you actually own. Every one of the 274 recipes on this site is checked against your list in your browser — nothing is sent anywhere — and the drinks whose required ingredients you already have appear first.

What does “missing just one” mean?

Those are the recipes where exactly one required ingredient is absent from your bar. The card tells you which one, so a single bottle can unlock several new drinks at once.

Do I need ice and water?

They are assumed. Ice and plain water are treated as always available, so they never count against a recipe. Soda water, tonic water and sparkling water are proper ingredients and do have to be ticked.
