What's inside

Everything a working bartender needs.

✦ Library

600+ specs, cross-referenced.

Every cocktail is anchored to Jerry Thomas, Embury, Wondrich, Death & Co, DeGroff, Meehan, or the modern professional consensus. Year, author, source — defensible attribution on every entry.

✦ Encyclopedia

Reference depth.

Bitters, vermouth, glassware, ice program, prep techniques, history, service standards, 270+ brand entries. Tap any ingredient in any recipe to land on its full entry.

✦ AI

A bar director in your pocket.

Build a 12-cocktail menu from a concept. Generate variations on any drink. Import an existing resume and have AI polish your prose. The system prompt is opinionated — it won't invent credentials.

✦ Journal

Your work becomes a portfolio.

Every drink you create, every iteration, every photograph — logged, searchable, version-tracked. By month two of using Embury, your resume auto-fills with stats: cocktails created, families covered, spirits used.

✦ Resume

Print-ready in three templates.

Designed PDF, ATS-friendly text, Word document, plain text for clipboard. Three resume templates — Classic, Spine, Modern. Built for the moment a venue closes Tuesday and you need a resume by Wednesday morning.

✦ Batch

Production math, done.

Scale any spec from one drink to 50 with correct dilution. Pour cost calculator. Menu price suggestions. The bar manager's tools the cocktail apps forgot.

Built for working bars

Depth without the noise.

Everything you'd want from a $150 cocktail textbook, a recruiter-grade resume builder, and a senior bar director — all in one place.
