StephanieL Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 Sneak's Fair and Warmer was interesting--I wouldn't have thought to pair rum and sweet vermouth. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

small h Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 Can anyone recommend a website that tells you what drinks you can make with the ingredients you have on hand? I tried MakeMeACocktail.com and CocktailBuilder.com and wasn't crazy about either one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sneakeater Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 Mint. Mint. ¡Mojito! Muddle 8 mint leaves in a cocktail shaker. Fill it with ice. Pour in 2 oz. white Rum, 3/4 oz. lime juice, and 1 oz. Simple Syrup. Shake. Strain into a Collins glass over ice. Stir in 1/2 oz. club soda. Garnish with a mint sprig. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

joethefoodie Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 Difford's is good. I also like Kindred Cocktails and CocktailDB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
small h Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 Thanks to you both. My brain may not be working properly, but I can't figure out a way to limit search results on Difford's/Kindred to ONLY the ingredients I select. Is there one? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
joethefoodie Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 Possibly not - what ingredients are you trying to work with? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
small h Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 Just what I have in the house, namely: vodka, gin, bourbon, orange bitters, Campari, dry vermouth, red vermouth, lemon, lime, various herbs. I've been relatively successful at finding food recipes by just typing in a mess of search terms. I do not have the same luck with drink recipes. And plugging in the ingredients I have into Kindred keeps resulting in stuff like "you can make this, but only if you also have kumquat liqueur." Which, if I did, I certainly would have mentioned. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
joethefoodie Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 Yeah, I don't see that ability on those sites. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
small h Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 Oh, well. I'll just have to (ugh) work a little harder. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
joethefoodie Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 Some cocktail books do their recipes by booze ingredient, so maybe one of those would help you. Regan's The Bartender's Bible and the Death & Co. book are just two of them. And you have the ingredients for a few of my most beloved cocktails! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not a website, but the PDT smartphone app is pretty slick in terms of letting you enter your inventory of ingredients and filtering their database for "Recipes you can make" (and has additional filters for "Missing 1 ingredient" and "Missing 2 ingredients"). Downside is that it's the curated list of 469 drinks, but to be fair, that list includes a lot of standards, but also a lot of funky ingredients and infusions, as you might expect from PDT. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
