Home Bartender turns the bottles already on your shelf into real cocktail recipes. Check off what's actually in your home bar — spirits, liqueurs, mixers, garnishes — and the app instantly shows every drink you can make right now, plus the recipes you're just one ingredient away from unlocking. No more browsing a drink menu and guessing whether you have what a recipe needs. Whether you're stocking a first home bar, hosting friends, or just curious what tonight's cocktail should be, Home Bartender is a practical mixology companion built around one question: "what can I actually make with what I have?" WHAT'S IN YOUR BAR • Tap through a full ingredient list — vodka, gin, rum, whiskey, tequila, liqueurs, bitters, mixers, and garnishes — organized by category with search. • Smart Shopping suggests the single next bottle that unlocks the most new recipes, so every purchase counts. • Your bar list is saved on-device and updates instantly as you shop or restock. WHAT YOU CAN MAKE • A dedicated "Can Make" list shows every cocktail and mocktail buildable right now from your checked ingredients. • A second list shows recipes missing just one item — so you know exactly what to add for your next drink. • Every recipe includes the glass, method (shaken, stirred, built, blended), and step-by-step instructions. EXPLORE THE FULL RECIPE LIBRARY • Browse and search dozens of cocktail and mocktail recipes spanning classics and modern favorites, from a simple Margarita to more involved shaken and stirred builds. • Filter by base spirit — gin, rum, whiskey, tequila, vodka, and more — or toggle Mocktails Only for alcohol-free drinks. • Rate drinks by taste (sweet, sour, strong, bitter) and the app quietly re-sorts recommendations to match what you actually enjoy. • Save favorites for quick access next time you're mixing, and pull up any recipe again when the same craving hits. • Great for planning a party menu ahead of guests, or for narrowing down a home bar shopping list one bottle at a time. AI BARTENDER • Describe what you're craving in plain language — "something sour, gin-based, with what I have" — and the AI Bartender reasons over your real bar inventory and taste profile to suggest matches. • See exactly what each suggestion uses from your bar and what (if anything) is missing. • Dial in a taste profile — sweet, sour, strong, bitter — plus a preferred base spirit and an alcohol-free mode, so every AI suggestion fits your palate. • A limited number of AI Bartender requests are included free each month; Pro members get unlimited requests. BUILT FOR REAL BAR CARTS • Works fully offline once your bar and recipes are loaded — perfect for the kitchen or a bar cart with patchy Wi-Fi. • Clean light and dark themes so the app looks right whether you're mixing at noon or at a late dinner party. • A quiet reminder to drink responsibly accompanies every AI suggestion — Home Bartender is a recipe and mixology tool, not a substitute for good judgment. HOME BARTENDER PRO Upgrade to Pro for: • Unlimited AI Bartender requests, every day of the month • Priority support • A completely ad-free experience throughout the app Pro is available as a Monthly subscription ($4.99/month) or an Annual subscription ($29.99/year, which includes a 3-day free trial). Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your card will be charged for renewal within that 24-hour window. Manage or cancel anytime in your device's account settings. Payment will be charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. Home Bartender is a recipe and mixology reference. It does not sell, ship, or deliver alcohol, and it is intended for adults of legal drinking age in their country or region. Please drink responsibly.
