Miss this app!

I am so sad that this app is crashing now when I open it and it’s no longer updating. This was one of the first apps I ever bought when apps were a new thing, and it was indispensable to me for years. So much information compiled here that saved me pouring through books and online websites. Especially if you enjoy the history of cocktails and seeing how they changed over the years of different versions.

Response from developer

Hi! The app should not be crashing. If it is, we recommend you delete it from your device and simply reinstall (free).

Fantastically replete

Utterly indispensable tool for the home or even professional bartender. Who can remember which vintage book a recipe is in? Now you don’t need to. The fantastic year scrolling feature which allows you to trace a drink’s evolution is a game changer when it comes to putting tastes of the age into perspective.
The inventory/stock feature allows you to tell at a glance if you can make a recipe. The genius nesting organisation of ingredients even recommends suitable substitutions.
It would be an absolute steal at twice the price.

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.

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.

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.

You seem to have some obscure tech support problem, but I cannot help you here—I need you to contact me directly (see mixologytech.com)
