How we pick recipes
The backbone is the official IBA list — the International Bartenders Association's 100+ canonical recipes split into The Unforgettables, Contemporary Classics and New Era Drinks. It's the international standard that gives everyone a shared baseline: same proportions, same techniques, same garnishes.
Around that core we've curated thousands of recipes from established sources in the wider bartending world — every instruction rewritten in our own words. Duplicates merged, measurement slop corrected, thin pages flagged for rework. Pre-IBA classics that are now common knowledge live alongside modern signatures, regional specialities and the full mocktail catalog.
Every recipe has exact measurements in both metric and imperial, clearly numbered steps, origin notes where known, and a short history for the classics. No paid placements, no commission on alcohol sales — Shookd makes money by being the best independent cocktail guide on the web, not by selling spirits.
Frequently asked questions
＋Are all cocktail recipes on Shookd free?
Yes — every recipe is fully open. No paywall, no subscription, no signup required. We earn no commission on alcohol sales from Systembolaget or any retailer; Shookd is an independent editorial guide.
＋How many recipes are actually here?
Over 17,000 drink recipes in the database. Around 100 are official IBA cocktails and the rest are classics, modern drinks, mocktails and regional specialities. Every recipe has exact measurements in both metric (ml/cl) and imperial (oz), clear steps and often historical context.
＋Can I find drinks based on what I already have at home?
Yes. Use the ingredient matcher on the home page — pick the bottles and mixers you have on hand and we show exactly which drinks you can make right now. We also have a barcode scanner that links bottles to a database of 7,000+ products.
＋What makes Shookd different from other recipe sites?
Three things: scale (17,000 recipes vs competitors' 500-3,000), bilingual coverage (Swedish and English in parallel), and matching against your actual home bar instead of nudging you to buy more bottles. The content itself is free — you never pay to see a recipe.
＋How do you decide which recipes to include?
The core is the official IBA list (Unforgettables, Contemporary Classics, New Era), which is the international standard. Around that we curate thousands of recipes from established sources in the wider bartending world — every instruction rewritten in our own words. We remove duplicates, machine-translated pages and thin texts.
＋Do I need special equipment to make cocktails at home?
For 80% of recipes a shaker, bar spoon, jigger and a couple of glass shapes will cover you. Advanced techniques like clarification or siphon carbonation need more kit but are labelled "hard" on the recipe.
