About

The Apothecary

Read full description

The Apothecary is a cocktail companion built around one idea: you should see a drink being made before you make it. Pick any of 46 classic and modern recipes — 32 spirited, 14 zero-proof — and watch it come together in the right glass, layer by layer: every pour, every stir, every garnish, with the bar tools you'll need lit up as you go. Then tell it what's in your bar, and it answers the only question that matters at seven in the evening: what can I make tonight? It counts what's ready, shows what's one bottle away, and tells you which single bottle unlocks the most drinks. • 46 recipes with step-by-step animated preparation • My Bar — tick what you own, see what you can make • One bottle away — which purchase unlocks the most recipes • The right glass and bar tools for every drink, highlighted as you go • Difficulty, base-spirit and zero-proof filters • Favourites, ml / oz, auto-play and optional sound • No account, no tracking, works offline Free includes 15 recipes with every feature. Lifetime Unlock opens all 46 — and every recipe added in the future — for a single one-time purchase. No subscription. Please drink responsibly. Intended for adults of legal drinking age.
