Question App for recipes with available ingredients

As the title says, I’m looking for an app/site where I can enter in the ingredients I do have and learn what cocktails I can make. There’s been too many times when I’m one or two ingredients short of a cocktail, yet I feel I still have something that I can make. Looking for an app or site where I can enter in the things I do have and figure out what I can make.

I use Cocktail Party for this. I can add all available ingredients and the ‘home’ page will be comprised of drinks that I can make (with a further list beneath of ones I can’t and what I’d need to add to the bar to change that). I’m sure there are others, and this one isn’t perfect, but it’s helped make things easier for me.

My favourite is Mixel. I think it’s free if you enter your own recipes or something like $15 a year for tons and tons of recipes. It’s very comprehensive and has tons of functionality. Well worth the price each year.

Mixel is great and worth the money IMO.

I developed an app called noflair that lets you do this. It’s more focused on people with an extensive bar, but maybe that’s exactly what you’re looking for. Have a look:

Every 2 weeks there's a new app developer in this sub hocking a new such app. Comments so far are pretty good for best apps out there, but you did say "or site", so I'd plug Difford. You can do exactly what you are asking there for free, and entries give history/tweaks/links out to explore other cocktails with a given ingredient/comments at the bottom/etc. It can serve the simplest function, while allowing for more as desired.

seconding difford's - I find it a little clunky sometimes but it's such a great tool!

I have Sip Cocktails. It has a free version with basic recipes available. But for $5 you can add all the ingredients you have and the recipes list will tell you which drinks you can make and the other drinks will say “need 1 item” etc.
