MUDL knows your shelf, the bar down the street, and the drink you'd reach for first. Your bar. Add the bottles you own — snap a label and MUDL reads it, or search and tap. See what you can make tonight from what's actually on your shelf. Add one more bottle and the list grows. The local scene. Good bars near you, with the menus worth reading. Browse a venue's cocktails before you go, find the room that pours what you like, and check in when you're there. What you get - Can-make: drinks you can build right now, from your bottles - Scan: point your camera at a bottle, we'll take it from there - Explore: local bars and their menus, on a map - Shopping: the one bottle that adds the most new drinks - Your folio: the drinks you've saved, poured, and want to try Cocktails are a Wednesday pour, not a ceremony. MUDL keeps the answer one tap away. Well-poured. Your bar. Your scene.
