## What is Perfect Drink?

Perfect Drink® is the first interactive cocktail mixing app.  Use with the Perfect Drink scale and see the virtual glass fill up as you pour.  The app measures each ingredient in real-time and tells you exactly when to stop pouring.  It even adjusts the recipe if you over-pour!  It tells you the drinks you can make with the ingredients in your cabinet, and generates a shopping list of items you are missing for the drinks you want to make.

It’s Easy
• Download the free Perfect Drink App, and connect your iPad and iPhone to the Perfect Drink Scale.
• The app guides you step-by-step to build your drink.
• The virtual glass fills in real-time as you pour, and tells you when to stop.  

It’s Foolproof
• Poured too much?  Don’t worry.  Perfect Drink tells you how to fix your drink.  
• Not all liquids weigh the same.  Perfect Drink accounts for this and measures the precise amount of each ingredient.

It’s Convenient
• The Cabinet feature allows you to select the ingredients you have on hand and sorts the cocktails in order, from highest percentage match to lowest.
• Quickly add the ingredients from any recipe to your shopping list.

It’s Fun
• Try something new from our extensive recipe database.  Each recipe has been created or taste tested by our professional mixologists.
• Check back often – new recipes are constantly being added. You don’t have to update the app to get new recipes.
• Change the serving size of your drink with a touch.
• Having a party?  Pre-select the cocktails, store them in “My Menu,” and easily access them later.

It’s Customizable
• Use the drag-and-drop recipe editor to enter your own recipes or customize existing ones.
• Take photos or use existing photos of your recipe from within the app.
• Use the Perfect Drink Scale to measure your recipe as you pour or enter amounts directly.
• Touch and drag ingredients and actions to rearrange your recipe.
• Choose from many containers for your cocktail, from shot glasses to punch bowls.
• Add your own descriptions and notes.

### 5/5 — Outstanding!

*2026-01-20, version 8.0.5*

Fabulous!

### 5/5 — Best cocktail app!!

*2024-01-04, version 8.0.5*

I tried a few and gave up. Finally came across this app because of its unique scale that works with it and I downloaded the app while I wait for my scale to come. Adding recipes was easy and intuitive, and the interface is clean and straightforward. Excited to use it more as I get more into craft cocktails!

### 5/5 — Best Brad-tai

### 2/5 — Outdated App

*2023-12-24, version 8.0.5*

The app hasn’t been updated for more than a year. When used with the current version of iOS(17.1.2) on my iPhone 13 Pro, it is only partially functional. For example, it will recognize that I have put a glass of ice on the scale, but it will not recognize the pouring of any ingredients. Works fine on my old iPad mini (2nd gen) with iOS 12.5.7, just not on devices with current iOS. I suppose it’s possible it’s an issue with using the lightning > headphone dongle? Or it may just need updating for compatibility with the current iOS.

Update: Just tried with 17.1.2 on my regular iPad and it works fine, don’t appears to be an issue when using the Lightning to headphone adapter on devices without a headphone jack.

### 1/5 — Dead?

*2023-12-10, version 8.0.5*

No updates in years.

### 5/5 — Best cocktail app

*2023-06-18, version 8.0.5*

I’ve tried a lot of different cocktail apps and this one is the best! A lot of other apps had the wrong measurement for simple cocktails this one is spot on for everyone that I’ve looked at! It’s great if you are a beginner or a bartender trying to find new ideas. The ability to make your own cocktail is a little difficult at first but after some messing around it’s easy and you can get very detailed in how to build the cocktail. I highly recommend this app!

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2023-03-04, version 8.0.5*

App is great with easy to follow prompts. Luv it.

### 2/5 — Clunky app that doesn’t update frequently

*2023-01-16, version 8.0.5*

I’ve had Perfect Drink for a few years now and at first it seems great, but it’s so finicky. I use the scale exclusively as a kitchen scale but the most annoying thing is that occasionally the Bluetooth tries to connect and you can’t stop it. 

But the app. It hasn’t gotten new recipes in years and adding new recipes is a real challenge. I use the Paprika app for cooking and loading recipes is a breeze. This though has no real way to import recipes. It’s a super manual process despite the number of actions taken to build a cocktail being super simple typically. There should be a way for me to import recipes from websites and have the actions be auto generated by the app.

### 2/5 — It could be better

*2022-08-19, version 8.0.5*

The best thing about app that is free. But design is horrible like came from 1990. Also it a base thing for a cocktail app to search recipe with different filters. And it will be great if you add more recipes. Nowadays there only basic recipes from IBA site.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2022-03-26, version 8.0.5*

App stopped working with new phone and after updates.  App recognizes shaker glass on scale but not when you pour in your ingredients.
