Old Fashioned

The riff mechanic

Every classic was once a riff.

Old Fashioned

A template. Whiskey, sugar, bitters, ice. The starting point.

Sazerac

+ absinthe rinse, swapped to rye and Cognac, Peychaud’s bitters.

Manhattan

A second root. Rye + sweet vermouth + bitters. A parallel template.

Vieux Carré

+ Bénédictine, + Cognac alongside rye. Built at New Orleans’ Carousel Bar.

Your riff

+ mole bitters, swapped Bénédictine for amaro. Tomorrow’s classic, probably.

Negroni

Flavor intelligence

A drink isn't a list of ingredients. It's a shape.

Riffed describes every cocktail along the dimensions that actually matter — sweetness, bitterness, acidity, strength, body, complexity, aromatic intensity. The result is a flavor profile you can compare, contrast, and remix.

Three groups. Twenty-one dimensions. One legible shape.

Taste, aroma, and texture each draw their own polygon, layered in the same space. Where the shape swells is where the drink leans. The silhouette is the drink's thumbprint.

Same chart. Daiquiri’s shape is nothing like Negroni’s.

Scroll back and you'll see where the bitter softens, where the citrus blooms, where the herbal quiets — what each drink trades for the other.

Overlay any two drinks to see what's actually different — not just what got swapped on the spec sheet.

A swap of bourbon for rye is a one-line change in a recipe. On the chart it's a quiet tilt in heat and spice. That tilt is what your palate remembers.

Made to taste

A Martini isn't one recipe. It's a range.

Dry or wet, bracing or aromatic — the same two ingredients cover a whole spectrum. Riffed stores the dry vermouth as a range, not a number: anywhere from 0.25 to 1 oz is still the drink.

dashed: Wet

Classic

2 oz gin · ⅓ oz dry vermouth

The canonical pour, and the one the corpus stores.

Reach for a different bottle entirely — mezcal instead of gin — and you've made a new drink. Riffed keeps the line back to where it started.

Your palate. Not anyone else's.

Palate tracking

Your cocktails should be yours.

The more you log and rate, the better Riffed understands your palate. Recommendations sharpen. Riff suggestions get more pointed. Eventually the app knows you'd rather have a stirred drink before dinner and something effervescent after.

Discovery

The canon, plus everything else.

IBA classics, the modern canon, and a growing library of riffs from the community.

Riffed is for the people who can't leave a recipe alone.

If you've ever swapped the rye for mezcal "just to see," tracked vermouth ratios in your Notes app, or argued about whether your Negroni variation counts as a Boulevardier — this app is yours.
