The Goal

MixCraft needed to make drink recipes easy to find—without making users dig through endless options. The goal was a simple app people could open and use immediately when they want a drink idea.

The client also wanted discovery to be a core part of the experience. MixCraft needed a randomize option for finding something new, and a way to surface drinks people can make using ingredients they already have.

Delivered Value

We built the app around quick decisions: browse recipes, pick one, and get moving. We kept the recipe experience straightforward so users can understand what they need and how to make it without extra steps.

We also made discovery feel effortless. The randomize feature helps users find drinks they wouldn’t think to search for, and the ingredients-first approach helps people land on recipes that match what’s already in their kitchen.

Randomize discovery

Users can tap once to get a new drink idea when they don’t know what to make. It’s designed for quick inspiration without scrolling through lists. Great for trying something new on the spot.

Ingredient-based recipes

MixCraft helps people find drinks that match what they already have at home. Users can start from their available ingredients and get realistic options they can make right now. This reduces wasted time and makes the app useful in everyday moments.

Fast recipe browsing

Recipes are laid out to be easy to scan, compare, and choose quickly. Clear ingredients and steps help users commit to a drink without second-guessing. The result is less searching and more mixing.
