Looking up how to make a proper cocktail? CocktailMix gives you the classic recipes bartenders actually use — with the exact pours, the build order, and the technique behind every drink. No guesswork, no half-remembered ratios. Just great cocktails you can make tonight. Most "cocktail" apps drown you in thousands of copy-paste recipes you'll never touch. CocktailMix does the opposite: a tight, curated shelf of the classics done right — Old Fashioned, Negroni, Margarita, Daiquiri, Mojito, Whiskey Sour, Aperol Spritz, Dry Martini, Espresso Martini and more — each dialed in so the drink comes out balanced every single time. WHAT YOU GET - Precise measurements for every ingredient, with a one-tap switch between ml and oz - A live serving scaler — drag from a single nightcap up to a full party and every pour re-calculates instantly - My Bar: tell it what bottles you own and it shows exactly which cocktails you can make right now - The "one bottle away" list so you know what to grab next - A built-in bartender's handbook: stirring vs building, glassware, pour conversions, and spirit basics - Favorites and a running shopping list so your go-to drinks are always one tap away PERFECT FOR - Home bartenders who want the drink to taste right, not just close - Beginners learning the classics one technique at a time - Party hosts scaling a round up for a crowd - Anyone staring at their liquor shelf wondering what they can actually mix WHY NOT JUST SEARCH THE WEB? Because web recipes disagree on every pour, bury the method under ads, and can't scale to six servings or check them against the bottles on your shelf. CocktailMix keeps the numbers consistent, works offline, and turns "what can I make?" into a real answer. PRIVACY Your bar, favorites, and shopping list stay on your device. No account, no sign-up, nothing to track. FULL ACCESS CocktailMix is free to explore with a starter set of recipes and the full reference handbook. Unlock every cocktail, the live serving scaler, My Bar ingredient matching, and unlimited favorites with CocktailMix Plus: - Weekly plan - Yearly plan - Lifetime one-time purchase (pay once, keep forever) Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the period; manage or cancel anytime in your App Store settings. Pour your first proper cocktail tonight — open CocktailMix and mix something great.
