Speakeater is built solo. The photography on this site is sourced legally from open-license libraries. Everything below is free for commercial use under the original license terms. We're listing it anyway because the photographers deserve the credit.
Five photos accompany the cellar's manuscript timeline. Each represents the era of the bartender's manual, not a literal scan of the book itself.
All cocktail recipes attributed to Jerry Thomas (1862), Leo Engel (1878), Harry Johnson (1882), William T. Boothby (1908), and Hugo Ensslin (1917) are quoted from the original manuscripts. Those manuscripts are in the public domain in the United States — published before 1928 puts every one of them past the copyright cutoff. We transcribed them by hand. No paywall, no licensing fee, no permission required.

Every illustrated element on this page — the speakeasy door, the SVG fridge, the brass crest dividers, the cocktail glassware, the manuscript card layouts — is original artwork built in-house. No third-party icon set, no purchased asset.
All Speakeater app screenshots were captured in-app on a real device by the founder. Original work, no third-party rights involved.
