What is mixPHD?
A mixology practice, not a recipe dump. Diagnose the craving or the shelf, prescribe the drink, and give you the technique to nail it.
Make
Every recipe is tested with oz + ml, technique, and balance notes. Browse by spirit, category, tag, or the IBA canon.
Stock
My Bar matches drinks to the bottles you own. My Drinks saves favorites and recent makes. The shop covers the gear.
How mixPHD recipes are tested
Every recipe ships with exact measurements in ounces and milliliters, a named technique (shaken, stirred, built, blended, muddled), and balance notes — spirit, citrus, sweet, bitter — so you know why a drink works before you pour.
The backbone is the IBA canon: timeless Unforgettables, modern Contemporary Classics, and cutting-edge New Era Drinks — plus originals developed with the same discipline.
