Everything Pocket Bartender does
From finding a drink you can make right now to saving your own recipe and sharing it. Here is the whole app, feature by feature.
01 · Recipes
Curated Recipe Library
Never second-guess a recipe. Every drink, including the full IBA list, carries exact measures, method, glassware, ABV, and calories, kept current as specs change.
- IBA official classics, checked against the current list
- Alcoholic and non-alcoholic, plus smoothies, shots, and coffee
- Switch measures between oz and ml on any recipe
02 · Discover
Browse by Category
Start from the moment, not the bottle. Popular drinks are grouped by theme, occasion, and holiday, so a party, a brunch, or a Tuesday night all have a starting point.
- Occasion sets: Halloween, Christmas, summer, brunch, date night
- Drink types: cocktails, mocktails, shots, smoothies, milkshakes, boba
- Sort any collection by popular, quickest, or non-alcoholic
03 · Match
Ingredient Search
Stop guessing what you can make. Tell the app what's on your counter, by hand or by photo, and it shows you every drink that's actually possible tonight.
- Pick ingredients and see every drink you can make right now
- Snap your bottles instead of typing them in
- Photograph a finished drink to find out what it is
04 · Make it yours
Custom Recipe Builder
Make a classic yours without losing it. Dial back the sweetness, swap the gin, edit the steps, and save it as your own version, original untouched underneath.
- Edit measures, ingredients, glassware, and steps
- Saved as your variation, alongside the original
- Stay close to the IBA spec, or go fully off script
05 · My Bar
Ingredient Inventory
Log your bar once and stop opening the cabinet to check. The app remembers what you have and what's running low, and flags every recipe you can already pour.
- Spirits, mixers, and garnishes with volumes
- "What can I make?" reads straight from your shelf
- Recipes mark each ingredient as in your bar or missing
06 · Swaps
Smart Substitutions
Out of something? The app suggests a swap that keeps the drink balanced, and tells you exactly how the flavor shifts, sweeter, drier, or more botanical, before you pour.
- Brand and style alternatives for spirits, liqueurs, and mixers
- Missing items go to your shopping list in one tap
- Each swap comes with a plain-language tasting note
Also in the app
Five more tools for the drinks you invent and the bar you keep.
08
Original Recipe Creation
Invent your own drink, name, glass, ingredients, steps, and it sits in your library right alongside the classics, ready to pour again anytime.
09
Recipe Sharing
Send a recipe or your whole shopping list straight to a message, no separate app needed for whoever's buying the bottles or mixing next.
10
Home Bar Management
Everything about your bar on one screen: what's in stock, what's on the list, and your own recipes, each flagged the moment you can actually make it.
11
Shopping List
Add a missing ingredient straight from a recipe, or drop items in directly from your home bar, so nothing gets forgotten on the next store run. Share the list with whoever's actually shopping.
