How preference-aware drink discovery works
Four steps from your profile to glass-in-hand.
- 01
Open the drinks deck
One drink at a time with ingredients, prep details, and useful serving context.
- 02
Use preferences and filters
Alcohol-free, category, glass, and ingredient filters work beside saved preferences and personalization settings.
- 03
Swipe and save
Likes, skips, and super-likes build a drink history that stays separate from recipe swipes.
- 04
Pour with guidance
Open saved drinks with ingredients, steps, ratios, garnish notes, and Chef AI help for substitutions or alcohol-free versions.
Three reasons drinks deserve their own intelligent deck
Personal, not random
The drink deck can use preferences, restrictions, filters, and drink history instead of acting like a generic random list.
Mocktails are first-class
Alcohol-free discovery is a real mode for sober months, Ramadan, pregnancy, hosting kids, or driving home.
Separate from meals
Drinks stay in their own deck and history so beverage discovery does not replace dinner planning.
Drink taste signals that stay separate from dinner
Drinks are not dinner, but they still reflect taste. ChefSphere can use preferences, ingredient dislikes, dietary constraints, filters, and drink swipe history to shape beverage discovery.
That separation matters: saved drinks, skipped drinks, and alcohol-free choices should improve the drink deck without polluting recipe recommendations.
Privacy stays part of the product story. Preferences are handled through protected account settings and encrypted preference storage rather than public-facing profiles.
Daily drink swipe access — Free, Premium, Pro
Each plan includes access to drink discovery. Paid tiers expand capacity, planning workflows, and household or event collaboration.
- Free gets you started with drink swiping, saved drink history, and guided drink instructions.
- Premium expands swipe capacity, filters, and shared planning workflows.
- Pro expands household and event planning for Family and Friends zones.
- Optional add-ons can extend swipe access on heavy hosting days.
Eight pours where Swipe for Drinks earns its place
Pick the closest moment — drinks can follow your preferences without becoming meal cards.
Tuesday wind-down
A mocktail that fits your defaults
Use alcohol-free and ingredient filters, swipe a few options, save the keeper, and pour.
Sunday brunch
Coffee, juice, and brunch drinks together
Build a shortlist before shopping instead of searching across separate sites.
I have gin and lemons
Drink discovery by ingredient
Filter by ingredient, let the deck narrow, then save what fits your bar.
First sober month
A real mocktail repertoire
Set alcohol-free as the default and keep a saved history of drinks you would serve again.
Weekend hosting
A drink shortlist for guests
Save classics and originals, then plan bottles, ice, garnishes, and food around the keepers.
Coffee morning
Pour-over, espresso tonic, cold brew
Keep coffee and tea ideas beside smoothies and mocktails without mixing them into dinner discovery.
Iftar / Ramadan
Hydration drinks and traditional pours
Surface juices, qamar al-din, jallab, mint tea, Arabic coffee, and smoothies around the iftar table.
Smoothie + workout
Recovery smoothie shortlist
Save smoothies that fit your routine and reuse the shortlist when training weeks get busy.
A drinks deck that respects how you actually drink
Cocktails, mocktails, smoothies, juices, coffee, and tea live together because “what do I want to pour?” is one decision. Filters and preferences help narrow that moment without turning drinks into dinner cards.
For sober months, Ramadan, pregnancy, hosting non-drinkers, or driving home, alcohol-free is a first-class preference.
Guided mode works for saved drinks
Every saved drink can open guided instructions with ingredients, ratios, garnish prep, and Chef AI help for substitutions or alcohol-free conversions.
Guided drink instructions run across iOS, Android, and web, with reviews and notes next to the steps for next-time iteration.
Swipe for Drinks vs typical cocktail apps and recipe sites
A side-by-side at the moments most home bartenders judge a drinks app.
| Capability | ChefSphere — Swipe for Drinks | Typical drink apps |
|---|---|---|
| Discovery | Preference-aware drink deck with saved drink history and practical filters. | Static lists or broad cocktail search. |
| Privacy | Protected account settings and encrypted preferences support personalization. | Often unclear how preferences are stored or reused. |
| Mocktails | Alcohol-free is a real mode, not a downgrade. | Often buried or treated as a small category. |
| Signals | Drink likes, skips, super-likes, and filters stay separate from recipe swipes. | Favorites are usually just a folder. |
| Guided pour | Ingredients, steps, ratios, garnish notes, and substitutions stay attached to saved drinks. | You adapt and scale by hand. |
| Planning | Drink plans can sit beside meal plans for hosting and household workflows. | Drinks live away from meals. |
Drinks questions
Is this separate from food swipes?
Yes. Drinks have their own deck, saved drink history, and filters, separate from recipe swipe history.
Is it random?
No. The drink deck can use preferences, filters, restrictions, and drink history instead of behaving like a generic random list.
Can I use only mocktails?
Yes. Set alcohol-free as a default and the deck focuses on non-alcoholic pours.
How many drink swipes do I get per day?
Free includes daily drink swiping. Premium and Pro expand capacity and planning workflows. Optional add-ons can extend access on heavy hosting days.
What about privacy?
ChefSphere uses protected account settings and encrypted preference handling to personalize without exposing private preference data publicly.
Can I plan drinks beside my meal plan?
Yes. Household and hosting workflows can keep drink plans beside food planning.
Will my drink swipes affect my food plan?
Drink actions stay in drink history, separate from recipe swipe history, so beverage discovery does not replace the meal deck.
