Jordan has created an awesome drink recipe search app that utilizes TheCocktailDB API to allow users to search for drinks based upon what ingredients they want to use as well as filter out ingredients they donβt like. They can also save drink recipes for later. Jordan has designed for mobile, but itβs also responsive enough to be used on desktop!
Well done! Want to try it out yourself? Check out the live site here.
