Bar Cards: Cocktails & Shots

Bar Cards is a cocktail recipe app and shot recipe book in one: 185 cocktails and 114 shooters, each on its own card with the ingredients, the method, the tools, the glass and a hand-drawn picture of the finished drink. It works offline, so it is there behind the bar, at a party or on holiday with no signal.

Every recipe is free.

HOW YOU FIND A DRINK
• Browse by spirit: brandy, gin, rum, tequila, vodka, whiskey, scotch, sake, soju, sparkling wine, dessert drinks and the amaro and bitters shelf.
• Search by drink name or by ingredient.
• Filter for no shaker, five ingredients or fewer, quick drinks, sweet drinks or by glass.
• Every card shows flavour notes and a sweet-to-tart meter, so you know what you are getting before you pour.

MIXOLOGY MADE SIMPLE
• Switch every measure between millilitres, centilitres and ounces with one tap.
• Scale a recipe for one, two, four, or a pitcher of eight.
• Step-by-step mode shows one instruction at a time in large type, and the screen stays on while you mix.
• The tools and glassware for each drink are listed, from jigger and bar spoon to Hawthorne strainer.

YOUR HOME BAR
• Tick the bottles you own in My Bar.
• See the drinks you can make right now, and the ones a bottle or two away.
• Pantry staples such as ice, sugar, lemon, lime and soda are assumed, so the list stays short.

MAKE IT YOURS
• Save favourites and rate drinks out of five.
• Keep your own notes on a drink and log each time you made it.
• Add your own photo to any drink.
• Share a drink as a picture card with friends.
