About Bar Necessities

Bar Necessities is a cocktail reference for people who care about what they're drinking. COCKTAILS 255 recipes, each traced to a source you can check and never generated by AI. The IBA's official canon. Modern craft classics like the Bensonhurst, Greenpoint, Single Village Fix, and Paper Plane. Lost classics worth reviving. Plus two dozen standout non-alcoholic drinks. YOUR BAR Tell Bar Necessities what's on your shelf and see every drink you can make right now — based on what you actually have, not what you wish you had. Mark bottles in when you open them and out when you finish them, and your makeable list stays accurate. BAR BUILDER See which ingredients unlock the most new cocktails, whether you're starting from scratch or growing the bar you already have. OPEN BAR Send your guests a live link to everything you can make right now. Mark out the limes mid-party and the guest menu updates on its own. Cocktails and non-alcoholic drinks appear together, so anyone who isn't drinking can find something without having to ask. COCKTAIL MENU Curate a short lineup for the night and share it digitally as a clean, printed-style menu. JIG Jig is the AI bartender.
