Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: MixologyNotes at none against Drinkstir's 2. MixologyNotes also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs fortnightly). Drinkstir's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and device support (3 vs 1). On price and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
