Taste map
Rate a few drinks you already know and the app builds a profile of your palate. It's a flavour vector in 11 dimensions, from sweet and sour to umami and salty, and it is the thing every other feature scores against.
What the profile is used for
- Scan a menu and every drink on it comes back scored against your taste and allergies.
- Open a recipe and see how it lines up with your palate, with a heads-up where it drifts.
- Check your shelf and see which of the drinks you can make tonight you'll actually enjoy.
Guests have profiles too
Guest profiles remember what your friends drink and what they can't, so the same scoring works when you're ordering or mixing for someone else.
Questions
How can an app know which cocktails I'll like?
Stirred Art asks you to rate a few drinks you already know and builds a profile of your palate from them. Every other cocktail is scored against that profile.
What flavours does the taste profile use?
Eleven: sweet, sour, bitter, salty, umami, boozy, fruity, herbal, smoky, spicy and creamy.
How many drinks do I have to rate before it works?
A few drinks you already know are enough to start. Every drink you rate afterwards, at a bar or at home, refines the profile.
Does my taste profile leave my phone?
No. The taste model runs on your device. Your drinking history stays there.
