Very good

Genuinely, this is such a dope app. I know people are probably looking to get all access styled cocktail apps for free. However for 15 dollars a year or a 50 dollar flat fee, this app is literally dirt cheap for the value it provides. Very intuitive so many useful features like the bar so you know what you can make with what you’ve got. Making your own cocktails is so intuitive and well made. Couldn’t recommend it enough for finding fun drinks to try and somewhere organized to store your own creations. You can even edit existing recipes to tailor them to your taste. Super cute app too.

Love the versatility

This app is great not only for its extensive repertoire but the easy ability to add your own concoctions to the library and to share them with friends via text that includes handy QR code for them to download it to their app

Cute but could be fairer

I wish the IBA cocktails came free as standard. Charging for them when they’re free online and everywhere else seems unfair. Just charging for the new and exciting things would be better.

Deleted all of my recipes

I got a new phone and my data didn’t sync automatically. When I signed in on the old phone, it deleted every recipe that I wrote.

double charged

paid lifetime subscription and was unable to cancel. tech support does not seem to exist. discord link does not work. am being charged monthly as well as having paid fifty bucks. opened dispute with apple due to lack of options.

Filtering is not helpful

Fun design but the searching for and filtering of recipes is not intuitive. Make saved filters and bookmarked recipes easier to find through one or two clicks.

Cocktail bartenders easy choice

I’m a craft bartender and I reference this app and the drinks it lists all the time. Especially when I get thrown a weird request or rare request that I don’t know off the top of my head

Really?

After years of support you decide to do a Premium as a screw you to people who were loyal to you very early in your app… I’m done you’re greedy. You should grandfather in people who supported you.

Not intuitive!!

I found this app to be very confusing.

Incredible

Finally, I have a way to store and rate my favorite cocktail recipes! This app has been a game changer for me. I have a place to document all the one-off cocktail recipes I find and love. The premium version has been 100% worth it to me—there is a very large variety of very good cocktail recipes loaded into the app and it’s introduced me to a lot of great recipes. And the cherry on top is the cute pixel style for your recipes and items in your bar. What more could a girl want?! :)

Excellent for home bars

This is one of the most comprehensive collections yet.

Bartender’s Review

I’ve had Mixel almost as long as I’ve been a bartender. I bartend in Scotland, which unfortunately, has very rigid laws with regards to alcohol content in drinks.

Mixel has been a resource I’ve used for years, the base (free) content in the app is a fantastic source of inspiration, and a very quick and easy resource to use to find specs for off menu drinks, the paid additions add even more recipes and content.

Overall, I’d highly recommend this app to anyone that is interested in cocktails, wether it’s bartending at home for friends or for finding inspiration for a new menu at work, Mixel is a great resource I’d highly recommend.

Specifically, the ability to manually add the products in your home/work gantry and to get a percentage match for ingredients is incredible.

My only critique would be a lack of specific products (eg “Berry vodka (ciroc red berry, raspberry absolute, etc)” or “Vanilla Vodka (eg Smirnoff vanilla, Absolute Vanilla, etc)” however, you can add ingredients to the app manually.

9/10, would and have recommended!

Indispensable

If you’re a cocktail aficionado, this app is indispensable.

Get this of you like flavors

Love it, I have had my cocktail awakening through this app, it was recommended to me by a friend and I have had a lot of great drinks from here. I would love for there to be a new tab or area in here for community recipes that you could add to your regular recipes tab from other users.

Lost everything

Premium subscriber with a Mixel account. Got a new phone, opened Mixel and signed into my Mixel account to find that I’ve lost all of my recipes, bookmarks, favorites, inventory, etc. I am NOT pleased.

Keyboard Covers Links

I have been a paid subscriber to this wonderful app for a while, but the most recent update has a glitch that needs to be addressed. The keyboard rises up to cover parts of the screen that you need to click on in order to follow links and make the recipes. There does not seem to be a way to get rid of it. Please fix this! Thank you. I literally can’t access some of the information because the keyboard covers it.

“No AI” option?

Have used & loved the app for years! Recently saw the addition of Bart. Can I disable or remove this? I don’t want any generative AI messing up your brilliant app. Thanks!

Great app with just two feature request

I love the app so much. It has tons of cocktails and allows me to see what I can make based on what I tell it I have and I love that I can write original recipes in app. However, unlike the cocktails that are featured in the app plus the extra when you pay for the app,’the original recipes don’t show the amount of dilution for the drink which is my only request for the app. The other request is to select the drinks you want to add to a cocktail menu.

Lifetime is so Expensive

Ok, I’ll begin by saying this app’s UI and its premium recipe list are fantastic. I love the style and the ingredient maximizer is a great feature. However, the lifetime subscription is pricey, especially since there are records of the lifetime price being far less than $50. It’s just so expensive…

Fun to use, well-made

It’s a simple idea that was well-designed and well-built. I like the pixelated art style, I like building out my bar, and it’s fun to look up cocktails or add my own. My only request is a wider library of cocktails to search from, but at least it’s easy to add my own.
