Bar Assistant is a self-hosted, all-in-one API server for managing a home cocktail bar, built in PHP (Laravel). It handles cocktail recipes, ingredient inventories, shopping lists, and search indexing, with a separate web client (Salt Rim) as its frontend.

Use cases

• manage my home bar cocktail recipes
• track which cocktails I can make from my ingredient shelf
• self-host a cocktail recipe manager
• generate a shopping list of missing cocktail ingredients
• import cocktail recipes from websites
• create a public cocktail menu for a party
• filter cocktail recipes by base ingredient or ABV

When to choose

• you want a self-hosted, cocktail-specific recipe and inventory manager
• you need a REST API backend to pair with a frontend or custom client
• you want features like ingredient substitutes, ABV calculations, and unit switching
• you want to import/export recipes in JSON, YAML, or Markdown formats

When to avoid

• you need a simple hosted solution without running Docker or a server
• you want general-purpose recipe management beyond cocktails
• you don't want to manage a separate frontend client and API server
