About Bar Assistant

Bar Assistant is an all-in-one solution for managing your home bar and cocktail collection. You add ingredients to your inventory, search hundreds of included cocktail recipes, create custom recipes with notes and ratings, and organize them into collections and shareable menus with automatic price estimation. Shopping lists, quantity planning for events, and ingredient substitutes help you plan drinks around what you own. Most personal-use features are free, a paid Mixologist plan unlocks extras, and the software can also be self-hosted.
