Essential Apps

Cocktail Flow

by Distinction Ltd

Cocktail flow is the best cocktail app on the App Store. It contains features like the Cabinet, where you tell the app what you have and it will tell you what sort of cocktail you can put together. You get a potential of 6 beautiful themes (I prefer basic) and a whole range of drinks you can shake up with instructions.

MONIN Ultimate Cocktails

by MONIN

Monin is a maker of syrups you may be accustomed to in your local Costa Coffee. But their syrup can also make a really nice cocktail! I have tried a few of these and I must say they taste rather good. The app is really easy to scroll through (even when tipsy). If you're the designated driver but still want to have a nice drink, Monin has added a Non-alcoholic section for you to enjoy.
Free

SeeMyDrink is a socia networking app for your average social drinker. You can upload photos of your drinks and add a recipe, or browse the recipes inside the app. You can comment on people's drinks and share drinks via email, Facebook or Twitter. With SeeMyDrink you can view trends within drinks, read other users' notes and see what your friends have been tasting lately.

Drinkology

by Krysis LLC

Drinkology is an okay way to find new drinks. With over 8000 drinks and the ability to randomly select a drink, you are covered for variety. The app overall is pretty good but I didn't find the interface nice to use. There are pictures behind the menus, and when viewing a drink you get a glass and cork background which really isn't that nice to look at.

8,500+ Drink & Cocktail Recipes Free

by Webworks and Applications

8500+ Drink & Cocktail Recipes Free is a decent app that comes with a massive library of drinks and some decent features that are seen in most of the other apps we have here today. But 8500+ Drink & Cocktail Recipes Free has a rather clunky interface with massive buttons and a rather unappealing color scheme. The push notifications are quite annoying as well. But if you don't mind the UI and horrible notification system, then the app is rather good.
