Drinks and Cocktails app review: mix professional tasting drinks

Introduction

If you plan on hosting a party or event, or you're just tired of serving and drinking the same tired old drinks, here's a way to find some inspiration and ideas. The Drinks and Cocktails app for your iPod touch, iPad, and iPhone provides you with all kinds of drink/cocktail ideas that you can try on your own at home. There is no need to be a professional bartender to serve up professional-tasting cocktails when you have this app handy.

Never Be at a Loss

With this app you will never be at a loss at what to mix and serve to guests and enjoy yourself. The app is loaded with thousands of cocktail recipes that are sure to please. Even though there is a massive selection of recipes they have all been hand-picked so these aren't just random drinks that may or may not work out. The developers have even made edits to the cocktail recipes so that the instructions are always easy to follow. When you look at a traditional cocktail recipe that a bartender would use, there are often units that are confusing, and it may use bartender language that the average person isn't going to understand. You won't find any of that here.

In the app's most recent update there were more drink photos added, which helps as you make the drink. The app only scores a mediocre customer rating it dropped quite a bit after the update.

 

Mixing Cocktails

Of course the purpose of this app is to help you mix the perfect-tasting and -looking cocktails so let’s take a closer look at the features of the app and the content. There are some fun and useful features here such as the ability to mark drinks as favorites. This is really handy because there is a good chance there will be a handful you want to return to on a regular basis. You can find cocktail suggestions that are based on the ingredients you currently have on hand. The app will automatically detect your location so it knows what unit to use for measurements in your country. And there is the ability to search for a drink by name if you're looking for a specific one.

The user interface is very simple, almost too much so. I appreciate that the drinks feature photos but some aren't the best quality. I like that you can refine your search to look for specifics and the fact that you can share drinks by email and Facebook.

 

Pros and Cons

Pros

• User-friendly
• Find drinks based on what you have available ingredient wise
• Many recipes feature a picture
• Mark drinks as favorites
• Share recipes by email and Facebook

 

Cons

• The user interface is extremely simple and dull
• Not all drinks have a photo with them

 

Final Thoughts

I find that while the Drinks and Cocktails app for your iPod touch, iPad, and iPhone provides you with some simple cocktail recipes, the app just lacks that finesse and polish that many others in this category have.
