Features
Riffed up close.
The home page tells the story. This page tells the how.
01 · Riffing & lineage
Every drink remembers where it came from.
Save a riff and Riffed records its parent recipe. The lineage graph means you can trace a drink back to its template — and forward to whatever you (or someone else) try next.
- Auto-recorded parent link
- Branching lineage views
- Editable change notes

02 · Flavor intelligence
A drink isn't a list. It's a shape.
Twenty-one dimensions across taste, aromatic, and texture. Each ingredient contributes; the recipe averages them with technique and ice modifiers. The polygon you see is the math made visible.
- 21 active dimensions
- Per-ingredient contributions
- Technique + ice modeled in

03 · Ranges & versions
Dial it in. Then pin it.
A classic doesn't store one number per ingredient — it stores a range. Drag an amount and the chart moves under your finger; tap a documented preset to jump to a known point in it. Land somewhere you like and pin that build as your version of the drink, and it's the one that loads next time you open it.
- Researched ranges on the classics
- Named presets — dry, wet, equal parts
- One tap to tune it to your palate
Your palate
04 · Palate tracking
Your palate is a profile too.
Log what you make, rate it, react to friends — Riffed builds a flavor fingerprint for you. Recommendations weight what you actually drink, not what the app thinks you should.
- Self-tuning over time
- Signal-weighted by activity
- Survey for a starting bias

05 · Library & search
The IBA canon. The modern classics. Your own.
Fuzzy search by name, ingredient, or technique. Filter by base spirit, ABV band, category, or one of the 21 dimensions. The library scales; the friction does not.
- Cross-source recipe library
- 21-dim flavor filters
- Bar-makeability indicators
Daiquiri · N/A take
06 · N/A mode
Same library, different lens.
Flip N/A mode on and the catalog reweights — N/A-native recipes float to the top, convertible classics rank by viability, and bitters are gated by your preference. Not a separate menu. The same library, seen differently.
- N/A-native recipes prioritized
- Convertibility scores on classics
- Bitters allowed/blocked toggle

07 · Make & track
I made this.
Logging a pour attaches a rating and an optional note to any drink. Friends see what you've been making. Your palate gets a signal. The recipe gets a pour count. The loop closes.

08 · Events
A guest list has a palate too.
Create an event and send the link — it works for people who don't have the app yet. Everyone who opts in contributes their palate to a single blended chart, and the night's recommendations come from that blend, checked against what the party's bar actually has rather than what it would enjoy in theory.
- Invite links that work without the app
- Opt-in group palate, per event
- What to bring, ranked by what it unlocks
