You browse or search a database of 100+ cocktail recipes, each stored with exact ounce ratios per ingredient. Selecting a recipe displays the full recipe, and a serving scaler multiplies every ingredient by the number of servings. The reverse-lookup mode filters recipes to those matching your available ingredients, ranked by completeness.
Yes. The recipes use widely recognized ratios from classic bartending references. Taste is subjective, so feel free to adjust sweetness or citrus to your preference.
