Start planning โDrinkScaler turns cocktail and mocktail recipes into a party shopping list. Pick your drinks, say how many guests are coming, and it works out how many bottles, limes and mixers to buy instead of leaving you to do the math in ounces.
It multiplies each recipe by your guest count and servings per guest, adds an optional extra for spills and seconds (none, 10% or 20%), then rounds up to whole bottles and packs. Citrus juice is also shown as the number of fresh fruit you would need, for example "or 14 fresh limes".
A common rule of thumb is about one drink per guest for each hour of the party. DrinkScaler starts at one serving per guest and lets you change it in half-serving steps, so a long evening or a thirsty crowd is easy to plan for.
Yes. Add as many drinks as you like and DrinkScaler merges them into one combined shopping list, so a vodka bottle needed by two recipes shows up as a single line.
Yes. The Mocktails tab has alcohol-free recipes that work in the shopping list exactly like the cocktails do, so you can cover every guest in one list.
Healthyish is a collection of lighter takes on popular cocktails, each trimmed to about 100 calories or less. Calorie figures are estimates from standard ingredient values, so brands and pours will vary.
Yes. The Be Creative tab lets you build a custom recipe from your own ingredients and amounts and adds it to the same shopping list as everything else.
Yes. "Share this list" creates a link you can send to a co-host or open on your phone at the store. Bottle sizes show in mL by default, and you can switch any bottle to ounces.
No account is needed and DrinkScaler is free to use.
Yes. The chat button in the corner answers questions about cocktails, spirits, substitutions and party planning, and can add drinks to your list for you.
