Which cocktail can you make with what you have?

Cocktail Chart has 11 cocktails – but which ones can you make with what's already in your kitchen right now? Instead of scrolling every recipe, tick the ingredients you have and let the tool below do the matching for you.

Matching is based on each drink's main ingredients. Basics like ice and water are always assumed available, and amounts aren't considered. Always check the full recipe before mixing. Please drink responsibly.

Here's how it works: tick your ingredients above and we compare them against the main ingredients in each of our 11 cocktails, then rank them by how many you already have. The ones you can make right away rise to the top; when you're a single item short, you'll see exactly which one – so a quick shop turns a 'maybe' into tonight's round.

Short on ingredients? These are among the easiest to start with: 1:1 Simple Syrup (sugar), Classic Daiquiri (rum, lime and simple syrup) and Classic Dry Martini (gin, vermouth and lemon). Everyday staples such as salt, oil, water and ice are always assumed on hand, so they never count against you.

A few tips: add what you have generously – if you've got a close substitute (say a different spirit or citrus), tick it and check the recipe for swaps. Amounts aren't part of the match, so always open the full recipe to confirm quantities and method before you make.

How does the recipe matcher work?

Tick what you have at home. We compare it against the main ingredients in each of our 11 cocktails and rank them by how many you already have – the ones you can make now come first.

Do salt, oil and water count?

Yes. Everyday pantry staples (salt, pepper, oil, water and ice) are assumed available, so they never count as something you're missing.

Does it account for amounts?

No – the matcher only looks at which ingredients a recipe needs, not how much. Always open the full recipe to check quantities before you start.

Which cocktails are easiest to start with?

With just a handful of basics you're close to 1:1 Simple Syrup (sugar), Classic Daiquiri (rum, lime and simple syrup) and Classic Dry Martini (gin, vermouth and lemon). Tick a few ingredients above and the shortest shopping lists float to the top.
