Short answer

Can I make a drink with what I have in my bar?

Yes. Your AI lists your current ingredients and compares them to a professional database to find matches. You'll get a list of drinkable recipes based on your specific inventory.

The results you get

What you'll find

The AI handles the data matching so you can focus on the pour.

INVENTORY

A clear list of supplies

The AI identifies exactly what you have on hand. You'll see a clean list of your spirits, modifiers, and bitters.

MATCHING

Drinkable recipe matches

The agent cross-references your list against professional recipes. It only shows drinks you can actually make right now.

DETAILS

Full preparation steps

For every match, the AI provides the specific measurements and techniques. You get the full recipe for each cocktail.

HUMAN

Your final decision

The AI suggests the options, but you decide which drink fits your mood. You handle the actual mixing and tasting.

The workflow

What your AI does when you ask for a recipe.

The AI moves from inventory to instruction in a few logical steps.

  1. Inventory check

    The AI starts by seeing what is currently in your liquor cabinet.

FAQ

How the cocktail assistant behaves

  • 01

    Can the AI buy ingredients for me?

    No. The AI only reads your inventory and searches for recipes. It cannot interact with shopping carts or delivery services.

  • 02

    Does the AI know what is in my bar automatically?

    No. You must first tell the AI what you have or use the tool to list your ingredients if you have already provided them.

  • 03

    Can the AI change my ingredient list?

    No. The tools only allow the AI to read and search. It cannot add, delete, or modify your inventory data.

  • 04

    Will it suggest drinks that need extra ingredients?

    The AI is designed to find matches based on what you have, but you can ask it to find recipes that require one or two missing items.

  • 05

    Can I use this with Claude?

    Yes, as long as you are using an MCP-compatible client like Claude Desktop.
