Hey thanks for hunting this, @chrismessina! I'm one of the devs behind this and will be hanging around to answer any questions and maybe tell some jokes. Swizzle is basically Tinder for cocktails, we built it atop the onthebar drinks database which is a huge repository of cocktail recipes constantly being added to by bartenders from around the world. My two … See more

@istanb4u @chrismessina Cool Messenger integration! Once inventory fills out, it would be very cool to find cocktails near me, e.g. the most famous, highly rated drinks in SF, so that I can make them at home or even go out to try it at the bar.

@moxon @chrismessina Totes. We hope the signal from Swizzle users will let those really exceptional drinks (and their makers) surface to the top. It's an odd space where there's tons of consumer enthusiasm and constant innovation happening in bars and restaurants but very little structured digital recording of any of it.

@istanb4u @chrismessina Excited to try this out Ian! My goal this year is to learn how to make 10 new cocktails, so Swizzle will be my new companion. Timing also seems right as craft beer growth is somewhat slowing and craft spirits / DIY cocktail culture is on the rise. Maybe a future integration with Drizly for easy ordering of the cocktail ingredients?!

@matthewerley @chrismessina @basche42 to elaborate a bit - we actually put a "buy" button on every brand view if you get deep enough into the app. Right now it just punts to a map view with directions to your nearest liquor store but is really a placeholder for Drizly.

@istanb4u @chrismessina Is there a way to add new drinks to the app? If I'm somewhere having a great drink can I snap a photo and recommend it?

@whichwayeileen @chrismessina At the moment drinks are added by professional bartenders via our companion app, onthebar. If you hit this link from your phone you'll be redirected to the appropriate app store: http://onthebar.com/yolo ... We limit it to bartenders b/c we wanted to start with really high quality drinks and also drinks that are custom-made or i… See more

@istanb4u I would definitely prefer to snap a photo and add a quick description, just for ease and because I'm a little lazy. Also, from a user side of things, it would be great to have an option that allows for more participation. I love the value-add of knowing that a great recipe came from a professional bartender, but when I saw this earlier, I immediate… See more
