Pour, sort, and build your own bar. Cocktail Sort is a relaxing water sort puzzle with a twist: every star you earn buys another piece of your bar, and every few levels unlock a real cocktail recipe โ€” ingredients, method, and the story behind the drink. BUILD YOUR BAR Start with bare walls and a single counter. Earn coins with every level, daily challenge and event, and renovate your bar through 12 stages โ€” shelves, backlit bottles, a lounge corner, a city view, a rooftop terrace. Your bar becomes the home screen you keep coming back to. HOW IT PLAYS Tap or drag to pour one colored layer onto a matching one. Fill a bottle with a single color to seal it. Clear the board to win. No timer, no lives, no pressure โ€” think as long as you like. WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT - 45 real cocktail recipes โ€” Mojito, Negroni, Espresso Martini and more, with ingredients, instructions and trivia - Mystery bottles โ€” from level 7, hidden layers keep you guessing - Postcard puzzles โ€” assemble a recipe card and frame it in your gallery - Daily challenge with a monthly calendar, streaks and rewards - Themed weeks with progress bars and exclusive seasonal recipes - Bartender ranks โ€” earn XP from Trainee to Master - Bottle styles and premium stoppers to dress your collection - Background music: six lounge tracks - Works offline - Play in 8 languages RELAXING BY DESIGN No countdown. No forced moves. Undo whenever you want, add an extra bottle when you're stuck. Hundreds of hand-checked levels, every one guaranteed solvable. Pour yourself something colorful. Note: recipes are for entertainment; the game contains infrequent references to alcohol.
