ThePour sells packs of cocktail trading cards at bars, where each card doubles as a drink order and a collectible.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-24 issue.

Field notes

The card is designed to move through a bar as both menu prompt and physical collectible: its front identifies the drink, while the reverse carries the recipe. The site describes scanning each card into an app alongside notes about the drink, venue, and bartender, with private ratings rather than public reviews. Rarity is part of the system, including foil cards, numbered runs, and cards tied to particular bars.
