How it works
- Get a random cocktail recipe from a curated list of 60+ classic and modern cocktails, all UK-buyable ingredients.
- Filter by spirit (gin, whisky, rum, tequila) if you only have certain bottles in.
- Filter by difficulty (3-ingredient classics through to multi-stage builds).
- Save bookmarks of cocktails you want to retry later.
Why use this tool
- Removes "what should we make?" decision paralysis when you fancy a cocktail.
- Discovers cocktails outside your usual rotation — most people make 3-4 cocktails on repeat.
- Curated to UK-buyable ingredients only — no "you'll need green chartreuse" pickers where you don't have it.
- Pair with our easy cocktails guide for the 4-bottle starter kit that powers most of the picks.
When to use it
- Friday-night drink decision — spin once, save the recipe, make.
- Date-night cocktail surprise — pick something both of you haven't tried.
- Pre-dinner aperitif — filter by bittering category (Negroni-likes, Spritz-likes).
- Party hosting — spin 4-5 times for a small cocktail menu, pre-batch the favourites.
- Learning to bartend — spin daily for a month, you'll know 30 cocktails by the end.
FAQ
Does it know what I have?
No — pick one, then check your shelf. Sub one ingredient and call it a remix.
Are these UK-pub-realistic recipes?
Yes — every cocktail uses spirits you can buy from Master of Malt, Whisky Exchange or a decent supermarket. We don't include cocktails that need obscure-import bottles unless they're truly worth it.
Beginner-friendly or only advanced?
Mix. Filter by "Easy" for 3-ingredient stirred / shaken classics. "Medium" for citrus-led drinks with egg white. "Advanced" for multi-stage builds.
Can I use this for non-alcoholic cocktails?
See our Mocktail Generator for that — different curated list, all non-alcoholic.
