Entry Point

In a world filled with a vast variety of cocktails, it can be challenging for beginners to remember all the ingredients and mixing directions associated with each drink.

Solution

To address this issue, I designed a mobile app that simplifies the cocktail-making process. The app enables users to discover cocktail recipes based on the ingredients they currently have at home, making it easier for them to explore and create delightful drinks.

Research

Recipe first or ingredients?

To better understand users' motivations and their approach to finding cocktail recipes, I conducted interviews. The key question was whether users preferred searching for recipes first or checking the availability of ingredients.

Findings revealed that most people, excluding professional bartenders, tend to search for cocktail recipes online or via mobile platforms. However, only about one-third of them plan ahead and then shop for the specific ingredients listed in the recipe.

Findings

The interviews revealed that, except for professional bartenders, most people tend to search for cocktail recipes online or via mobile apps. It was interesting to note that only about one-third of them plan ahead and specifically shop for the ingredients listed in the recipes they find.

Based on the research findings, I identified a clear need for a solution that helps users make cocktails using the ingredients they already have at home. This led to the development of the mobile app, which aims to streamline the process of cocktail creation and enhance the user experience.

Persona

Information Architecture

The app's primary feature is a smart recipe search engine that takes into account the available ingredients and suggests suitable cocktail recipes accordingly. By leveraging a comprehensive database of cocktail recipes and an intelligent algorithm, the app eliminates the need for users to search through multiple sources or buy specific ingredients.

The Design

With a deep understanding of user preferences and behaviors, I proceeded to develop the mobile app. The key features include an intuitive user interface, a vast collection of curated cocktail recipes, and an ingredient-based search functionality. By leveraging this app, users can effortlessly discover new and exciting cocktails that they can make using ingredients readily available in their own homes.

Future Enhancement

  1. Ingredient substitution suggestions: In case a user is missing certain ingredients, the app provides alternative options to ensure they can still create a delicious cocktail using what they have on hand.
  2. Step-by-step instructions and visual guides: Each recipe is accompanied by clear instructions and visual guides, ensuring users can easily follow along and master the art of cocktail preparation.
  3. Personalized recommendations and favorites: The app learns from user preferences and behavior, providing personalized recommendations based on their taste preferences and previously enjoyed cocktails. Users can also save their favorite recipes for quick access in the future.
