In the past recipes entered on my iPhone would show in the app on my iPad. Recently that has stopped and no response to my inquiry. Have they stopped updating the app? It would be a shame. ### 4/5 — It’s Still Very Good *2024-08-02, version 1.6.6* It’s been a bit since an update - so currently you cannot add a story or notes to your drinks but the app is easy to navigate and extremely useful. ### 5/5 — The Best Cocktail App *2022-09-27, version 1.6.2* I’ve been using Elemental Cocktails for at least five years now. It remains the best app for cocktail recipes. Other apps may have alluring features, but as a cocktail enthusiast, Elemental checks all the essential boxes for me: classy and simple design, over 50 free classic cocktail recipes with well-informed histories/“stories” (with more collections available for one-time purchases), and—most importantly for me—excellent cocktail recipes. Oh, and it’s free! I’ll always be exploring other apps/websites/YouTube channels for new and different cocktails; but when it comes to the classics, Elemental Cocktails has repeatedly delivered the best cocktails. My friends have agreed on this point every time I’ve experimented with a classic outside of Elemental’s purview. Tuck those other cocktail apps away in a folder on some back page of your Home Screen if you can’t part with them, and keep this one front and center. You (and your friends) will be consistently satisfied. ### 4/5 — So far so good *2022-08-14, version 1.6.2* Just started using the app and like it so far. I like being able to same my own recipes. Just a couple issues so far: app crashes every time saving a custom recipe. Also, it won’t save ingredients that aren’t already in the drop down list, e.g., lemonade. Fortunately, the recipe is not lost. ### 5/5 — Love it! *2022-05-28, version 1.6.2* Just installed Elemental Cocktails and Love It! I love it’s very clean and elegant UI, not overwhelming me with thousands of recipes (yet the key ones are here), ability to add comments and my own recipes. And the stores about cocktail histories are fun. Great! ### 5/5 — Brilliant *2021-11-22, version 1.6.2* Clean and easy to navigate - not only having cocktails on the app you can also add more based on various types of drinks. Best is the ability to add your own cocktails to the collection. Search feature is spot on and just a note of interest to have the story of the cocktail as well. Excellent - this is really the only cocktail app you need. ### 5/5 — Super helpful, unique app *2021-11-17, version 1.6.2* This app is great in helping you discover new cocktails, learn how to make them with detailed recipes, and the histories are super unique and interesting. Very well researched. It's also beautifully designed; love the coasters! ### 3/5 — Good app but not good for metric *2021-08-14* I would love to continue to use this app if not for the metrics that don’t go over 32 ml… it’s a simple UI change. Allowing the numerical input Not friendly unless you are using Ounce ### 5/5 — Best at managing cocktail recipes *2020-08-25, version 1.6* There are plenty of apps that manage your alcohol supplies and that let you find drinks to make from them. Elemental Cocktails has chosen to avoid that clutter and to specialize in helping you enter and manage cocktail recipes. There are some famous recipes provided, but the primary purpose is to enter and manage your own. The app has a beautifully understated user interface. It’s easy to use and elegant. I love that I can enter the history of each cocktail, not just the ingredients and build process. The actual steps to enter a recipe are streamlined and extremely easy. Drinks can be categorized by ‘mood’ - boozy, citrusy, fruity, etc. or sorted into various categories such as the ones you entered, your favorites, or ones you’ve bookmarked. I’ve been very pleased with this app. The developers have been responsive and helpful when i’ve had questions. I’m a little surprised that the app is free - not that i’m complaining... ### 5/5 — Just what I’ve been looking for *2020-06-18, version 1.5.3* I live in an area where more “specialty” liquors are hard to come by, so when I went home to the big city, I bought a couple and brought them back with me. However, I couldn’t figure out what to do with them and everything I googled was giving me complicated recipes with extra ingredients I couldn’t get. This helped me out so much! I was able to choose my base liquor and quickly found a simple, delicious recipe to try! I love the design and I love that it shows you the cocktails recommended glass and history. Very good for cocktail enthusiasts. :) ## Frequently asked questions about Elemental Cocktails ### What does Elemental Cocktails do?
