Sakaba shows you which cocktails you can make with the bottles you already own. Check them off in My Bar to see every recipe you can mix tonight, and what you are one or two bottles away from. WHAT'S IN YOUR GLASS Explore a library of 1,000+ cocktails across every spirit — gin, whiskey, rum, tequila, mezcal, brandy, vodka, amari and apéritifs, sparkling, wine, beer, and non-alcoholic — organized by spirit so you can shop your own shelf. 80 are free to make right away; the rest unlock with Sakaba Plus. Every recipe shows a flavor profile at a glance (sweet, sour, bitter, boozy) plus strength and serving style, so you know what you're getting into before you pour. MY BAR — WHAT CAN I MAKE RIGHT NOW? Check off the bottles you actually own and Sakaba tells you exactly what you can make tonight — plus what's "almost ready" if you're missing just one or two ingredients, with smart substitutions (own rye? that covers a bourbon recipe too) and a shopping list for the rest. GUIDED MIXING Step-by-step guided mixing walks you through the pour, in order, so you're not squinting at a phone propped against a bottle. Amounts scale to how many you're pouring and display in your preferred unit (ml or oz). A JOURNAL FOR YOUR TASTE Rate and note what you actually make — a classic, your own twist, or an original recipe — with a photo, a rating, and a tasting note. Over time your journal becomes a record of your taste, not just a recipe box. MAKE IT YOURS Save your own originals, adjust classics to your liking, and mark favorites. Sakaba syncs privately through your iCloud account, so your bar, your notes, and your favorites are the same on every device — no account to create, nothing to sign into. DESIGNED LIKE A BAR, NOT A SPREADSHEET A quiet, monochrome design (with an optional accent color) built on iOS 26's Liquid Glass, with a "Cocktail of the day" widget for your Home Screen. No ads, no tracking — just your bar. WORLDWIDE, IN YOUR LANGUAGE Sakaba is fully localized in 10 languages — English, Deutsch, Español, Français, Português, Русский, Українська, 日本語, 한국어, and 中文 — including local-script names for well-known classics (e.g. Негрони shown alongside Negroni). SAKABA PLUS Sakaba is free to download, with 80 recipes, My Bar, guided mixing, and your tasting journal available right away — no account or subscription required to start. Sakaba Plus unlocks the full 1,000+ recipe library plus new and seasonal additions, unlimited saved recipes, an unlimited tasting journal, export & backup, and extra accent colors and app icons.
