Question 1

What can I make with the ingredients I already have?

Accepted Answer

MixWise is a free cocktail tool for that question. Add the bottles in your cabinet and it lists drinks you can make now, plus recipes that are one ingredient away. Open it at getmixwise.com/mix.

Question 2

How does MixWise find cocktails I can make?

Accepted Answer

You add ingredients you own. MixWise compares them to its curated recipe library and shows matches: ready to pour, and almost there if you are missing one or two bottles. Ice and water count as staples.

Question 3

Is MixWise a cocktail recipe site or an app?

Accepted Answer

Both. MixWise has cocktail and ingredient pages, but the product is the mixer: a home-bar tool that matches recipes to what you already have. Use the mixer when you want a drink from your shelf; use the recipe pages when you already know the drink.

Question 4

Do I need an account to use MixWise?

Accepted Answer

No. You can add bottles and see matches without signing in. An account saves your bar, favorites, tasting notes, skips, and shopping list across devices.

Question 5

When should I use MixWise instead of asking for a single recipe?

Accepted Answer

Use MixWise when the constraint is your cabinet — gin and lime, leftover vermouth, a few bottles and no plan. A single famous recipe will not tell you what else those bottles can make, or which one extra ingredient unlocks more drinks.
