Mixed Spirits: Bartender is a job simulator in which you run a cozy bar and make cocktails for customers. You take orders, mix custom drinks and discover secret recipes in a night-shift game with no timers and no rush orders, or switch to Happy Hour mode when you want the pressure back.

Key features
Two modes instead of a difficulty slider
Shipping a no-timer mode and a Happy Hour rush mode separates two audiences that normally fight over the same game. Cozy sim players want to be left alone with the craft; score players want a clock. A slider satisfies neither, because it changes the numbers rather than the intent.
Custom drinks, not just order matching
If the game only accepted the correct recipe, it would be a memory test. Letting you mix freely and hiding secret recipes inside that freedom turns the bar into a space to experiment, which is why this kind of sim generates its own word of mouth.
Remote Play Together
The Steam listing confirms Remote Play Together, so a single-player bar sim can be handed back and forth on one copy. For a $9.74 game that is a meaningful addition — shift-swapping is how this genre becomes social.
The honest caveat
With 49 reviews the score is early, and the cozy job-sim shelf on Steam is extremely crowded — the differentiator here is the two-mode structure rather than anything novel in the mixing itself. Single-player, with no online multiplayer. The price is a 25% launch discount from a $12.99 list price.
