About Copycat Cocktail

The drinks you order out, poured at home, plus a mocktail for every one.

What we do

Copycat Cocktail recreates the drinks people actually order: the margaritas, sangrias and frozen drinks at chain restaurants, and the classics born at famous bars like Trader Vic's, Harry's Bar and Milk & Honey. Every recipe gives you a spec in ounces and milliliters, the glass, method and garnish, an estimated ABV and standard-drink count, and the technique that makes it taste right.

A mocktail for every cocktail

Every drink on this site comes with a zero-proof version. We don't just leave out the rum. We rebuild the drink with NA spirits, teas, shrubs, verjus and citrus so it keeps the shape and balance of the original. Designated drivers, dry months, pregnancy, or just not drinking tonight: you get the same glass and garnish as everyone else.

How we research

  • Venue first. We describe what the restaurant or bar actually serves, including menu details and price ranges where they're public.
  • Honest about uncertainty. Chains rarely publish specs and bar histories are often disputed. When we're estimating, we say so. We never invent an "official recipe".
  • Discontinued drinks flagged. If a drink has left the menu, we tell you, and give you the version people remember.
  • Realistic strength. ABV and standard drinks are estimated after dilution, so you know what you're pouring.

Drink responsibly

Our cocktail recipes are for adults of legal drinking age (21+ in the US). Please never drink and drive. Nothing here is health advice.
