About YouCocktail

YouCocktail helps you make good cocktails with what you already have at home.

What you will find here

Classic cocktails, starting with the official list of the International Bartenders Association, a few other well-known classics, and alcohol-free drinks made with the same care. The What can I make? tool shows which recipes you can make with the ingredients you tick, and which bottle would unlock the most new drinks.

How the recipes are made

The proportions of a classic cocktail are well established. We start from the recognised specification, usually the IBA one, and say so when other versions exist.

The texts are written with the help of artificial intelligence. Each recipe is then checked by a second, independent AI system from another provider, which compares the proportions, method and history with the recognised classic. Finally, every recipe is reviewed by a person before it is published. Despite this process, errors can remain: please tell us if you spot one.

Strength (ABV) and standard drinks are not written by AI: they are calculated from the typical strength of each ingredient and the usual dilution from ice. They are estimates.

Illustrations

The drawings are generated from each recipe's data: glass, colour, ice and garnish. No photo is copied from anyone.

Brands

We only use generic ingredient names and never promote a brand of alcohol. We are not paid by drinks brands.

Drink responsibly

Our recipes are for adults of legal drinking age. Many cocktails are strong: each recipe shows its estimated strength so you can choose with care. Never drink and drive.
