Virtual Bar — free cocktail making game
Practise making real cocktails in the free Virtual Bar game: choose bottles, measure, shake or stir, garnish and build bartending skills.
The Virtual Bar is a free bartending game that runs in the browser with no download, no
account and no real ingredients. You are given a cocktail to build and a stocked back bar, and
you perform each step yourself.
How the game works
- Read the order and recall the specification for that drink.
- Select the correct bottles from the back bar — wrong spirits cost you points.
- Pour each measure; accuracy against the real recipe is scored.
- Add ice to the glass or the mixing vessel as that drink requires.
- Choose the correct technique: stirring for spirit-only drinks, shaking for anything with
citrus, egg or cream.
- Strain into the correct glassware and add the right garnish.
What it teaches
Because every step is performed rather than read, the game builds the order-of-operations and
technique knowledge that recipe lists and multiple-choice quizzes cannot. Every drink is a real
cocktail with a real specification, so the skills transfer directly behind an actual bar.
