Getting started

What is Drinkly?

Drinkly is a free cocktail recipe app that helps you discover drinks you can make using the bottles you already have at home. Add your pantry ingredients and instantly see what you can mix.

How does Drinkly work?

Add the spirits, liqueurs, and mixers you have in your pantry. Drinkly will show you:

  • Drinks you can make right now
  • Drinks you’re only one ingredient away from
  • New cocktail ideas based on your collection

No more guessing what to make.

Does Drinkly cost anything?

No. Drinkly is completely free to use.

Is Drinkly available on Android?

Not yet. Drinkly is available today on the App Store for iPhone and iPad. An Android version is coming soon to the Play Store.

Does Drinkly work offline?

No. Drinkly needs an internet connection to work. You’ll need to be online to browse recipes and use your pantry.

Accounts & privacy

Do I need an account?

You only need an account if you want to:

  • Favorite drinks
  • Leave reviews
  • Create and import your own recipes
  • Create collections

Browsing recipes and adding ingredients to your pantry does not require an account.

How do I delete my account or my data?

You can delete your account yourself in the app, from the Settings screen.

You can also email [email protected] to access the personal information we hold about you, request corrections, or withdraw your consent. See our Privacy Policy for the full details.

Do you show ads or sell my data?

No. We don’t use your data for advertising and we don’t sell it. Drinkly uses a limited number of third-party services, such as crash reporting and analytics, that process data on our behalf. Our Privacy Policy explains exactly what is collected.

Recipes & ingredients

Can there be multiple recipes for the same drink?

Yes. Some cocktails have variations, and Drinkly may show more than one version so you can choose what fits your taste or available ingredients.

Can I add my own recipes?

Yes. With an account you can create your own recipes and import recipes into Drinkly, then organize them into collections.

What recipes can I import?

You can import recipes by pasting a link to an Instagram or TikTok post, or by sharing a post directly to Drinkly from those apps. Not every post will convert cleanly — it works best when the recipe is written out in the caption rather than only spoken in the video.

Why would a recipe import fail?

A few common reasons:

  • The link isn’t a valid Instagram or TikTok post
  • The post is private, restricted, or has been deleted, so we can’t read it
  • We couldn’t find a recipe in the post — for example, if the ingredients and steps are only spoken in the video and not written in the caption

If an import fails, you can always add the recipe yourself instead.

What if a recipe is incorrect or missing?

We’re constantly improving our database. If you spot something wrong or want to suggest a recipe, you can send us feedback right from the Support screen in the app, or email [email protected].

Does Drinkly sell or deliver alcohol?

No. Drinkly only provides drink recipes. We do not sell or deliver alcohol.
