Bespoke
Bespoke a cocktail reference guide.
Bespoke was created for the cocktail enthusiast and bartender; it's a one-stop-shop that allows its user to reference cocktails as well as additional cocktail recipes for future use.
While working in the service industry 4 years, I notice that there weren't many resources quick to my disposal so I decided to start a project that would allow me to quick reference cocktails. This was the first project I ever and will continuously evolve.
