Backbar is a home bar you can actually keep track of — and a mixologist who only ever suggests a drink you have the bottles for. Add your bottles once (snap a photo and Backbar reads the labels), and the app always knows what you can pour tonight, what you're one bottle away from, and what's running low. KNOW YOUR BAR • Photograph a single bottle or a whole shelf to add it — no typing • See every cocktail you can make right now, updated as your shelf changes • "One bottle away" points you to the single best bottle to buy next A REAL COCKTAIL LIBRARY • Dozens of classics, organized the way a drinker thinks — by family, then by drink — plus every recipe the community adds • Save your own recipes, or tweak any recipe into your own private version • Each recipe tells you whether you can make it, and names a stand-in when you're close ("your rye works here") ASK THE MIXOLOGIST • Chat with an AI bartender that knows your actual inventory, not generic suggestions • At a friend's place or a party? Send a photo of their bottles and ask what you can make — nothing touches your own bar • Recreate a drink from a bar menu: the Mixologist reverse-engineers the proportions • Snap a recipe card or cookbook page to save it • Tell it what you poured and it logs the drink and updates your bottle levels Not drinking tonight? Ask for zero-proof options — the Mixologist always has them. KEEP A RECORD • Log the drinks you make and rate them • Your bar, your recipes, and your ratings, all in one place FREE TO USE Your whole bar, every recipe in the catalog, and unlimited recipes of your own are free. Optional Premium and Max subscriptions raise the monthly limits on the AI features (Mixologist chat and photo scanning). Subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled; manage or cancel anytime. FOR ADULTS Backbar is a tool for the craft of mixing drinks, intended for adults of legal drinking age (21+ in the United States). Please drink responsibly and never drink and drive.
