Know what is in your bar before you pour
What you own, what you paid, how full each bottle is, and which cocktails it adds up to.
Start your home barEvery bottle, counted
Each spirit in your Bar is added with a quantity, so you always know how many bottles of it you hold, and a size per bottle: 750 ml, 375 ml, 1 L or 1.75 L, or your own. Every bottle can also carry the purchase date, the price per bottle, where you bought it, a storage location and shelf, and a note for anything that does not fit a field.
Once the Bar holds a bottle you can filter it by type, by whether it is open or still sealed, by storage location and shelf, and by tasting notes.
Opened, and how full
A bottle you have opened can be marked as opened, with the date and how full it is. Spirits are poured over months, so a Bar that knows which bottles are open and roughly how much is left in each is a more honest picture of the shelf than a count of bottles alone.
The same fill level nudges Pick for me toward the fuller bottles.
What can I make?
Signed in, What Can I Make? reads the bottles in your Bar and sorts the cocktail recipes in the catalogue into two lists: Ready to pour, and One bottle away. With an empty Bar it asks you to add bottles first, because there is nothing yet to read.
A recipe that calls for a type of spirit, a gin or a bourbon, is met by any bottle of that type in your Bar. A recipe that names a particular bottle needs that bottle.
Mixers and garnishes are handled separately. Until you say otherwise it assumes you have the basics, and My staples is where you fine-tune that.
The Cocktails page links straight to it, and on a larger screen your Bar page has a Cocktails button that opens that page. A spirit's own page also lists the cocktails that call for it, whenever there are any.
When you cannot decide, it picks
Once your Bar holds a bottle, Pick for me chooses one from it. Quick pick picks from what is in your Bar right now. By pairing picks the bottle to suit a cigar you have on hand. The arrows step through its picks, and Reroll brings new ones. It only ever picks a bottle you own, never a recipe.
What your Bar adds up to
The stats page counts your bottles and your different spirits, breaks them down by type and lists the brands you hold most of. Its value tile adds up the price you entered for each bottle times how many you hold, and it stays hidden until you have entered some.
Set a keep-at-least count on a bottle and it shows up under the Buy tab when it falls below it. The same tab lists bottles you have rated four stars or more on average that have run out, and your wishlist.
Export for insurance builds a dated PDF, an Insurance Inventory Report, listing every spirit you hold with its type, quantity, date added, where you bought it and the price you entered per bottle, with a total at cost. It is not an appraisal.
Common questions
- What can I track about each bottle in my home bar?
- The spirit, how many bottles you hold, the size per bottle, the purchase date, the price per bottle, where you bought it, its storage location and shelf, whether it is open and how full it is, and a note of your own.
- Can I see which cocktails I can make from my bar?
- Yes, signed in. What Can I Make? reads the bottles in your Bar and lists the cocktail recipes you can make now, and the ones that are one bottle away. With an empty Bar it asks you to add bottles first.
- Can the app choose a bottle for me?
- Yes: tap the Pick for me card on your Bar page. Choose Quick pick, from what is in your Bar right now, or By pairing, to match a cigar you have on hand. The arrows step through its picks, and Reroll brings new ones.
- Can I export my liquor collection for insurance?
- Yes, on the website. Export for insurance builds a dated PDF, an Insurance Inventory Report, listing every spirit you hold with its type, quantity, date added, where you bought it and the price you entered per bottle, with a total at cost. Spirits without a recorded price are still listed and left out of the total. Find it in the ⋮ menu on your Bar page on a phone, in the Bar header on a larger screen, or under Collection in Settings.
