Barback
Drink better at home.
423 hand-tuned recipes. A flavor-vector similarity engine that actually understands what tastes like what. An AI bartender that listens to plain English. Built for people who think about ice.
“Something smoky and tart”
Tap a vibe, get a tailored shelf. Or just type what you want — Barback’s AI bartender will find the right drink (or invent one) from a corpus of 423 cocktails it actually knows the flavor of.
Built for the long pour
Every feature answers a real question a home bartender asks themselves at 6pm on a Friday. None of them are decoration.
Check off every bottle, mixer, and garnish you own. The whole app reshapes around what you actually have.
Instant list of drinks you can build right now. Plus “one ingredient away” — exact list of what to grab to unlock more.
Ask in plain English. “Make this less sweet.” “What pairs with steak?” “Invent something with mezcal and pineapple.” It answers.
Flavor-vector chips on the Tonight tab. Twelve in the pool, five rotate per launch. Tap one, get a curated shelf.
Every recipe has a 12-dimension flavor vector. “If you liked the Negroni” isn’t guesswork — it’s cosine similarity over real tasting notes.
Build a menu for a party of twelve. Barback consolidates every ingredient across drinks into one shopping list.
