Can I make it?

Check your active inventory

The inventory card shows which inventory is being used. Here, My Bar contains 7 ingredients.

Keep it accurate so results reflect what you actually have. Tap the circular-arrow icon beside My Bar to refresh the active inventory.

Tap Recipe name and enter a cocktail name to begin.

Two limits to the check

• Your ingredients: Results depend on what is recorded in the active inventory.
• CocktailScan’s recipe library: The drink must be in the current library to be checked. A missing search result does not mean the cocktail doesn’t exist.

The top-row icons

• My Bar — box: Review your saved inventory.
• Shopping List — cart: Review ingredients you plan to buy.
• Library — book: Browse recipes and reference information.
• Home — house: Return to the main menu.

See what’s missing

Enter Last Word. CocktailScan finds the recipe but shows missing Green Chartreuse, Maraschino Liqueur, and Lime Juice.

The warning symbol and missing-ingredient list explain why it cannot be made with the inventory as recorded.

Find matches and alternatives

Tap X to clear the search, then enter Martini. This finds six matching recipes.

• Martini and Dry Martini (Classic) can be made with the current inventory.
• Other variations show missing ingredients.
• Vodka Martini says “Can make with Gin for Vodka.”

This helps when someone requests a specific drink and you don’t have the exact ingredients. Review the substitution in the recipe and explain the change before serving.

Open any matching recipe

Tap a matching recipe to read its details—even if you’re missing ingredients.

Here, Dirty Martini opens with measurements, preparation instructions, glassware, and ice requirements. Review what it needs before deciding whether to make it or plan a purchase.
