Riffed up close.

Seven things the app does well. 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

Manhattan

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
● Death & Co● Difford's● IBA

03 · Spec variance

The Manhattan, four ways. On one chart.

Stack published specs side-by-side and see where the variance lives — not in the ingredient list but in the resulting shape. Death & Co's bitter edge, Difford's vermouth-led sweetness, the IBA's equal-parts middle ground.

  • Up to 5 specs at once
  • Color-coded overlays
  • Hover to highlight

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. Drinks International. Your own.

Fuzzy search by name, ingredient, or technique. Filter by source, base spirit, ABV band, 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

“Absinthe rinse heavier than I expected. Worth it.”

07 · Make & track

I made this.

One-tap check-in 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 check-in count. The loop closes.

  • Star rating + notes
  • Friend activity feed
  • Reactions on check-ins
