Your bar. Tonight's cocktails.

What Shaker does

Shaker turns your liquor cabinet into a personal bar program. Mark the bottles you own — whiskey, vermouth, bitters, citrus — and Shaker instantly surfaces every classic cocktail you can pour right now. Not sure what to stock next? The “One Away” shelf shows cocktails that need just one more ingredient, turning your next grocery run into something actually useful.

Every recipe is presented as a clear, numbered step-by-step guide with glassware, garnish, and technique notes. Favorite the drinks you love and they stay pinned to your shelf forever. Browse the full catalog any time to explore what else is out there.

All 30+ curated recipes and the complete ingredient catalog are stored on-device with SwiftData. No account, no server, no network call, ever. Shaker is for legal-drinking-age adults.

• Instant “Can Make Now” cocktail feed from your owned bottles • “One Away” smart shelf with missing-ingredient callout • Step-by-step recipes with glass type, garnish, and technique • My Bar toggle for your ingredient inventory • Favorites list and full browse catalog • 100% offline, no account required

What's inside

• Can Make Now — Filters the full cocktail corpus against owned ingredients in real time and surfaces everything the user can pour tonight, sorted by fewest missing items.
• One Away Shelf — Identifies cocktails missing exactly one ingredient from the user’s bar, names the missing item prominently, and lets the user add it to a shopping note.
• My Bar — A browsable, categorized ingredient catalog (spirits, liqueurs, mixers, citrus, bitters, garnishes) where each item is toggled owned or not; changes propagate instantly to all feeds.
• Recipes + Favorites — Full step-by-step cocktail detail with glass type, technique, and garnish note. Heart any recipe to pin it to the Favorites tab and browse the complete catalog by spirit or tag.

Why we built it

Home bartenders open their cabinet and forget which cocktails their current bottles unlock. They either Google recipes with no filter for what they own, or reach for the same two drinks out of habit. Existing apps are either ad-heavy, require an account, or surface recipes without filtering against actual inventory.

What makes it different

Shaker is 100% offline (SwiftData, zero backend), requires no account, and centers the entire UX on the user’s real inventory: a live “Can Make Now” feed and a “One Away” shelf that turns browsing into actionable discovery. It ships a hand-curated 30-cocktail seed corpus rather than a user-submitted mess, keeping qual…
