AI DiscoveryPRO

Describe What You're Craving

Flavor-based: "smoky and sweet", "light and refreshing"
Ingredient-driven: "use up my bourbon" or "no tequila"
Style keywords: "stirred", "blended", "shaken", "mocktail"
Prioritises cocktails you can make right now

Visual InventoryPRO

See Your Shelf at a Glance

Recipes

Every recipe, perfectly presented

Step-by-step instructions, scaling, substitutions, notes, and creation tools — everything a home bartender needs.

Recipe ScalerPRO

Scale Any Recipe for Any Crowd

Making drinks for two or batching for 20? The recipe scaler converts every measurement instantly — ounces, milliliters, dashes, barspoons — with smart warnings when ingredients shouldn't be pre-batched.

Seamless oz ↔ ml conversion
Smart bitters & citrus scaling warnings
Batch notes flag carbonated ingredients automatically
Scales 1 to 20+ servings

Substitutions

Missing an Ingredient? No Problem.

Tap any ingredient you don't have and get smart substitution suggestions — rated DROP-IN, GOOD SUB, or WORKS — so you can improvise like a pro. Substitutes already in your bar are highlighted first.

Personal Notes

Make Every Recipe Yours

Add personal tasting notes, tweaks, and variations to any recipe. Log 'Made This' to track your cocktail-making history. Your modifications are saved privately and travel with the recipe everywhere.

Custom RecipesPRO

Build Your Own Drinks

Have an original creation? Build it in Cocktail.IQ — add ingredients, portions, steps, glassware, and tags. Custom recipes live alongside the curated library and integrate with the bar matching engine automatically.

Cocktail School

Learn the why, not just the what

Master the ratios and templates behind every classic style. Understand how drinks are built so you can improvise, riff, and create confidently.

Templates

The Ratios Behind Every Classic

Cocktail School breaks down the templates behind Sours, Old Fashioneds, Highballs, Martinis, Collinses, Flips, and more — showing you the structure that makes each family of drinks work.

Sour template: spirit + citrus + sweetener
Old Fashioned: spirit + sugar + bitters
Highball: spirit + carbonated mixer + ratio
Martini, Negroni, Collins, Flip & more

Techniques

Shake, Stir, Build — Done Right

Each template includes the correct preparation technique — why some drinks are shaken and others stirred, what double-straining does, and when to build in the glass versus mix separately.

Ingredients

Know Your Ingredients

Understand what each spirit, liqueur, modifier, and citrus brings to a drink. Learn why Campari makes a Negroni bitter, what dry vermouth actually adds, and how to balance sweetness against acid.

Personalization

Recommendations that actually know you

Cocktail.IQ builds a taste profile from your interactions and weighs it alongside your bar, the weather, and the time of day.

Taste Quiz

Personalized From Day One

A quick taste quiz on first launch captures your flavor preferences, favorite spirit, and preferred style. Cocktail.IQ uses your answers to pre-warm the recommendation engine and serve a 'For You' feed instantly — before you've searched a single recipe.

Favorites

Save What You Love

Collections

Curated Collections & Your Own

AI Intelligence
