Leave a Review Modern Classics
Excellent reference
Easy to use. Has an amazingly curated selection of wonderful drinks.Sig7686
Waste of money
$9.99 for 113 cocktails-many with ingredients no bar stocks. Waste of money. I feel tricked by the reviews. Don’t buy this when there are many other free and much more helpful cocktail apps.Gina RIordan

Sorry you were disappointed, but we hope you’ll give the app another chance. These drinks do, in fact, use ingredients common to cocktail bars—they simply couldn’t have become modern classics any other way. Moreover, the app is quite sophisticated about helping you match ingredients (viable substitutions) to recipes. What we don’t do is dumb anything down or compromise the accuracy of the recipes. This app is the gold standard, but you do have to meet us partway. There are a tutorial videos on our web site that might be helpful.Lame
For $10, this should contain more than 113 recipes, none of which contain vermouth.Whatever happened, happened

Nine recipes contain sweet vermouth, two contain dry. This app is laser-focused on quality, not quantity. This is an amazing collection of the best recipes of the last twenty years, verified with their creators, with correct attributions, and documented with great care. Hopefully, you’ll give the app another shot.A Classy & Exciting Doorway to Making Great Cocktails!
This is exactly what I’ve been looking for!
Googling for a recipe is a lost cause—too much recipe clutter, too many poor quality recipes out there—and that’s when I loosely know what I want to make. With Modern Classics I love that I can easily search for my cocktail craving, scroll through what I can make (based on what I’ve got in), and/or easily see what I need to quickly pop to the store for, if I’m an ingredient or two short.
One request: I would love to see your ultimate classic Old Fashioned recipe! 🙏🏼Show lessChickpea87
Extraordinary App!
I absolutely love this app - best feature is how it narrows down drinks to ingredients you have on hand. That and you can click every ingredient to read details like it's origin, subsitutions, or (for those you can make) recipes. Would buy again without a doubt.cordial mango
There are free apps that are way better
Very few recipes no search feature. I’m a modern bartender and I do not recommend wasting ten dollars on this app. There are free apps that blow it away.Jayb0mb

There are only ~110 recipe in this app, but that’s the entire point: this is a highly selective collection (and still more than in many books out there). How many did you try? Search by name and ingredient is literally the first item on the menu; and deeper in, the app has the most powerful filter system around. Seems like you bought the app without first understanding what it was, didn’t immediately see what you think you wanted after a cursory glance, and saddled us with a one star review. Nice. Thanks.Great App
It’s like having a great recipe book at your finger tips at all times.ProceedTheWeedian
Just make sure you don't need to drive
Reliable recipes that make delicious drinks, and the integration with the other apps from Martin Doudoroff is outstanding. I can't recommend his apps highly enough. I would much rather have an app with a well-curated selection of high quality recipes, than an app with thousands of cocktails of questionable quality. Moreover, the app is well thought out, with extremely useful features.
I've even e-mailed Martin a couple of times and immediately received friendly and helpful responses. I've purchased three of his apps and expect to add another 2 or 3 fairly soon. After using these apps, I don't want to use anything else. I know I'm gushing, but they are honestly that good.Show lessAdamSimsbury
Excellent app, perfect sync service
The design of this suite of apps is perfectly suited to the at-home cocktail enthusiast. Input your ingredients once, sync to all other apps (easily authenticating via 1Password support), flag recipes, and drink lovely cocktails. I'm a particular fan of flagging recipes I want to try because the list of flagged recipes shows you results from all installed apps in the suite. Very easy to find a good one to try (likewise with favorites).
This particular collection reads like a list of personal favorites and great memories if you've been enjoying the cocktail scene develop over the years. Well worth the price - I will get frequent and happy use out of this (as will many guests to my house)!!Show lessamorelli
Needs more Content
Same format as the PDT & Beachbum Berry cocktail apps but with much less content. As of Sept. 2016 it contains 102 cocktail recipes and most are already in the PDT app. Not worth the price, but hopeful future updates would make this app worthwhile.xombi josh

Selectivity is the entire point of this app. There are just over a 100 recipes, but they are all top notch, and they’re all correct. That’s still more recipes (and better) than many cocktail books out there. Reviewer is mistaken about “most” recipes already being in the PDT app; the number is more like 4 or 5.
