Mixed Spirits: Bartender

Mixed Spirits: Bartender is a bartending game in which the player runs a bar during evening shifts. Customers arrive with drink orders, which may be specific requests from the menu or vaguer descriptions of what they want, such as something sweet with a slightly bitter note. The player greets and chats with guests in the bar scene, then moves to a mixing station to build each drink. The game has no timers.

Drinks are made by combining ingredients that carry attributes such as Sweet, Bitter, Spicy or Relaxing. Tips are determined by how closely the finished drink matches what the customer asked for. Players can also choose the glass size, type of ice, decorations and garnish for each drink. Experimenting with combinations can unlock hidden recipes, which can then be added to the bar’s menu for future orders.

Once the bar closes, the player returns home to prepare for the next day. This includes minigames such as growing mint and cutting lemons, as well as visiting shops to restock or upgrade: a liquor store, glassware shop, fruit market, decoration and garnish store, and a recipe book merchant. The game has been released on Steam and currently holds a Very Positive user review rating from over 100 reviews.
