Perfect app, hit-and-miss cocktails
My only complaint about this app is that so many of the recipes are just bad-to-bland. But that's not the creators' fault, as it's a superb historical collection. I stopped using the app much because of this — because there are SO MANY RECIPES, it's hard to keep track of what you've tried and what was good and bad. But with this latest release, they've added the ability to add you own notes, which is the only thing this app was missing. With that, I'm definitely going to be digging in again!
Wonderful App
I am greatly enjoying this app as well as the Modern Classics. The sync works like a charm, the app is easy to search, the layout is clean and easy to use, the recipes are interesting and tempting. I particularly like the list of 1-missing-ingredient drinks, and the shopping suggestions( what to buy that will round out the most drinks). A primary source list is available on the developer's website, reachable thru the app. You can't load your personal inventory, but there is a function fo
One of the Best!
If you are seriously, or even casually, interested in making good cocktails, any or all the cocktail apps from Martin Doudoroff are well worth getting. They all share information, including the ingredients you have, between the apps.
As a mixologist, I have tried many cocktail apps. Martin’s are the best. The user interface is excellent. The notes included from many of the great mixologists are very informative. The apps are all based on the leading mixology books and text material.
Pre-Prohi
Unlocked my mixing brain
I had been in a cocktail rut, just making the same things because I couldn’t find new ways to combine what I had and I couldn’t go by every bottle in the store. These apps opened up my cabinet to literally—yes, literally—hundreds of new possibilities. The interface is as brilliant and elegant and classy as a Vieux Carré. Do it. You’ll love it.
A whole suite!
I’ve been using this particular app the past couple weeks as I’ve been getting more into cocktails after getting bored of the craft beer world. I just discovered the other apps the developer makes and the moment my loyalty became undying was when I realized I could create an account and sync my ingredient list across each app. I will surely soon have a dedicated folder for these apps.
Astonishing detail and presentation
This is one of the best apps I’ve ever seen. At first I hesitated at the $9.99 price tag, but it’s actually probably underpriced! There are hundreds of historical cocktail recipes, plus detailed descriptions of different ingredients and examples to use. Superb.
The best app out there.
I’ve used this for years alongside half a dozen other apps, and this is the one I always come back to. The ingredient inventory and ingredient recommendations are wonderful, and the sheer volume of recipes is fantastic.
This what the future is supposed to be like
Instant access to the greatest knowledge, with all the modern conveniences of "in my bar" filters and unit conversions. I still use Cocktails+ miraculously, and am happy to see it's reincarnation with ongoing support!
Tremendous
What a brilliant app. Smooth design, outstanding content (well over 900 recipes now and counting), and most importantly, amazing functionality. You can search by drink type, origin, ingredients, you name it. A complete bargain at $10.
A must have
One of the best cocktail apps ever. Tell it what you got and the app dies the rest. I wish it would allow users to add their own recipes and twists to drinks (create new and clone recipe and change things) then it'd be the only app I'd use.
Indespensible
This is an app designed first and foremost with the cocktails in mind, but also easy and fun to use. Great content and great UI/UX.
This app keeps getting better!
I'd written to the developer to request annotations, and here it is. Must have cocktail app; well worth any price.
Update is a mess
I just updated the app, & it doesn’t appear neatly on my iPhone, which it used to in every past iteration.

Just missing too many ingredients
No st. Germains / elderflower, no aperol, no amaro nonino? List goes on. I’d say 20% of my bottles aren’t available. Which is upsetting because the number of drinks in the app is great, but it’s just not usable in its current form for me because of it.
