Handy ap
Overall, I really like this ap. there are a lot of different and popular drink recipes, how to make them and some have pics of what they look like. Recipes are fast and easy to look up.Deb3000

Very convenient. It has many drinks stored already, and if you find one that's not (you made one yourself, one has a vulgar title, etc.), you can add it. The discover feature is handy too, you just tell it what ingredients you have on hand, and it tells you the possible drink combinations. Worth the price of the app for sure.Show lessGraphiteBlimp92
Useful
I'm in college and when girls say, "I don't like beer," you need to come up with something. Instead of just handing out whatever juice you happen to have mixed with some crappy alcohol now I actually impress nearly everyone who comes over for a drink. It's great!Dom7409
Handy tool for a lush!
I love that I can enter in all my bar ingredients and it tells me what I can make. Would like to see a feature where in addition to a mass database of EVERYTHING in my bar, I could also put in a few ingredients so if say I want to make something with rum, egg white, and donkey blood, the app will list a few recipes that include those things.Show lessRamblinSam
Good App
I like this app, it is very easy to use and comes with a decent list of recipes. I like adding my own favorite drink recipes so that when I have a craving for something with, say, Campari I can quickly find all the recipes. One good enhancement would be to search for recipes containing more than one ingredient. That way I could search for drinks with Campari *and* Gin. Oh wait, that would be a Negroni :)Show lesslarsens111
Awesome app!!
If you want and app that makes you feel like a real bartender, this is it. It has so many specialty drinks, you feel like hosting a lot of your friends so you can impress them with your bar tending skills.Waltandem
Great With A Few Suggestions
And with the recent update, even better! I use this program exclusively for our home bar. Have almost 800 drinks that I can now make at home, many of them drinks I entered myself.
My only fear is that with all the work I have put into entering all that information that it will be all lost if someday the iPad suddenly glitches. Would be handy to have a way to print. You could print drinks as a menu item (no drink recipe printed, only the name and ingredients), or full print with drink and recipe also for backup reference. Also have it as a "select all" or selectable drinks print (menu style).
One more thing...on the drinks already included there is no way to add a picture of a drink other than re-doing the entire drink recipe by hand (and thereby duplicating the same drink again for the sake of a picture). To be able to add a pic (aka make editable) to an existing drink already included in the lineup would be nice also.
Thanks so much for the update! Being able to se the types of drinks I can make just adds more flexibility for my at-home bar "customers"!Show lessMrmertz
The only app you need to make great cocktails at home
I've tried many different cocktail apps over the years, and this one has the right mix of features and design details to make it the best.
My favorite is the discover feature, which only shows me recipes for the ingredients I have on hand. For an avid home bartender, this is a must have as your stock and tastes change. You can even search by a specific ingredient if you're feeling particular that evening. Or say you want to make a certain drink but don't have all the ingredients, no worries because the shopping list feature is there to tell you what you're missing.
The recipes are also the best I've seen, utilizing both official IBA recipes for the classics and Wikipedia for everything in between. They're easy to follow and well organized, clearly showing amounts, ingredients, and directions. If it's missing your favorite drink, add it using the custom my drinks/ingredients feature. It's also easy to tag and rate your favorite recipes for quicker recall.
The developer is also committed to making this the best app possible, with frequent updates that have improved the design and functionality since its original launch. Did I mention it's also a universal app that works equally well on the iPad? I'm looking forward to seeing what's next for this fantastic app. Keep up the great work!Show lesspmrp
Great - and fun drinks!
I love this app - very easy, and I can send in my own creations and they get added so I can share with others and see what other creative ideas there are out there in addition to the 'standards'. Try my drinks - IRA Car Bomb, and The Arnim.Pyrogenic
Super helpful App that is a breeze to use.
So, I set up a bar in my home lounge... bought some random spirits from the local liquor store and thought I was good. I was wrong... I needed a sense of direction, a guide. iBartender is that guide! I have been using it for months now and I bring it with me for every trip to the liquor store. If I see something intriguing on the shelf, I fire up this App and find out what I can make. This App introduced me to Hpnotiq liquor and I will be forever grateful. Now, when I have guests over I can fire up my iPad and make them a decent mixed drink. There are so many recipies and it is an absolute blast to try each of them to see how good they are. The "Fishbone" recipie is rockin' This was totally worth every penny.Show lessAlienProbe
