What Can Be Made
Drinks are grouped by style, such as Highball and Spirit Forward.
- Ready to make: The drink matches your available ingredients.
- Ready with 1 substitution: A suggested ingredient swap makes the drink possible. Open the recipe to review it before preparing the drink.
Almost There
These drinks still need ingredients. Missing items appear beneath each recipe—for example, Winterberry Soda needs Club Soda.

Make drinks with substitutions
CocktailScan is flexible: it can suggest drinks using suitable substitutions from your available ingredients.
Our Vodka Martini appears as Ready with 1 substitution. We have Gin rather than Vodka, so the recipe highlights “Using Gin instead.”
A substitution can change the drink’s flavor and character. Read the substitution notes before preparing it so you know how your version differs from the original recipe.
