First Round Cocktails

A companion to timeless cocktails, backed by data and history rather than hype. Every drink the IBA has recognized across its seven editions since 1961.

First Round is a companion to timeless cocktails, backed by data and history rather than hype.

For this first iteration, every cocktail recognized by the International Bartenders Association (IBA) across its seven editions since 1961 is here. 185 drinks. Seven editions. One quiet, curated catalog. WHAT'S INSIDE

• Every IBA cocktail, with its recipe, glassware, method, and ABV
• The story behind each drink: where it was born, who codified it, why it disappeared or returned across the editions
• A picker that suggests your next pour based on what you've tried and loved
• A diary for every cocktail you taste: rate it, note it, tag the place, snap a photo
• Statistics that map the whole IBA list by category, family, spirit, country, and historical era
• A live ranking system that learns from your own taste over time

PRIVACY FIRST First Round collects nothing. No account. No analytics. No tracking. No ads. Your tasting history, your photos, your notes: everything stays on your device, and optionally syncs to your own private iCloud account, where only you can see it.

THE IBA CATALOG The International Bartenders Association has codified the world's essential cocktails since 1961. Its list of official cocktails is the closest thing the industry has to a canon. First Round is your guide to that canon: not as a recipe book, but as a living record of which drinks have survived seven editions, which were dropped, which came back, and which were promoted from Contemporary Classic to Unforgettable.
