Choose the signature cocktail for your party
A signature cocktail saves you from stocking a full bar, but you only get one shot at it. Pick a drink half your guests don’t like and you are left with a full pitcher at midnight. Put a few batchable cocktails in a Rankd, send it with the invite, and let guests rank them. Make the winner by the pitcher, and keep the runner-up in mind as a second drink.
- Spicy margarita
- Aperol spritz
- Moscow mule
- Bourbon apple cider punch
- Espresso martini
- Sangria
Free. Edit the options, then send one link to your group.
Why ranking beats a regular poll here
- Guests rank what they would actually drink, so the pitcher doesn’t go to waste.
- Bourbon fans and spritz fans both get a say, and the drink with the broadest support wins.
- You know which liquor to buy before the store run.
How it works
- Add the question and 3 to 30 options
- Send one private link to the group
- Everyone ranks privately, in about a minute
- You reveal the winner
Tips
- Stick to drinks that batch well; anything shaken to order slows the host down.
- Match the drink to the season, like cider punch in the fall.
- Add a photo of each cocktail so guests can picture it.
Questions
What about guests who don’t drink?
Add a mocktail version of a few options, or run a separate rank for the non-alcoholic drink so everyone gets something the group chose.
Can people see how I ranked?
No. Each person’s order stays private. Everyone sees the group’s final order and where they personally landed, never anyone else’s individual ranking.
Is it free? Does everyone need the app?
Rankd is free and runs in the browser, so there is nothing to download. Friends open the link from any group chat (iMessage, WhatsApp, Slack, email) and rank in about a minute.
