Make Me A Cocktail

Firstly - I don’t often write reviews, and this one is unsolicited! After googling for weeks, words like “cocktails using X and Y” and getting unhelpful results, most containing ingredients I didn’t have, I decided to try find an app. I initially chose this because of the rating and I’m so glad I did. The way you can add your ingredients, and then be shown ideas using ONLY WHAT YOU HAVE is everything I was looking for, but it doesn’t end there. The suggestions for swapping ingredients is so great. I could go on and on but honestly - this app is just the greatest - I’m obsessed. Oh - and don’t be cheap - pay $1.99 to remove the ads and you won’t look back :) (PS - when building your bar, don’t forget to add things like salt, vanilla essence etc etc!)

I would give it five stars if you can add cocktails yourself that you liked after going out to a bar or ones that sound great online or in a book.

Basically useless

Edit—I like this app less and less the longer I use it. A simple search for common drinks like “paper plane” or “Jungle Bird” produces no results. Add that to the fact that the unit of measurement STILL changes every time you make a drink and this is becoming pretty useless and frustrating. I like this app; it could be so much better. It probably will be with time. I love that you can change the measure for whatever you use (ml, oz, whatever). But you have to change it EVERY time. There is no preference you can set to make the measure you use the default. The search function is oddly difficult to use; I find the best way to browse is going into my account and looking at what I’ve favorited via the website.

It needs to be updated and it would be better.

I’ve been using this app for a while. I have a ton of ingredients, but I have to keep adding them every couple of months. I can’t make or save lists. I’m not sure if I’m doing it wrong or if the app doesn’t work properly. Help me change my review!

Have an account on the PC but I cannot login on the app. Basic functionality doesn’t work. Super cool.

Very confusing and I was constantly drawn to some add that I couldn’t get out of. Don’t waste your time.

After years of good use, the app stopped working completely and doesn’t produce any results in its search. Does anyone know what’s going on with it?

this app has a lot of potential and I’m struggling between 2 and 3 stars bc it’s unusable for me atm but with some simple fixes it would easily take off in popularity and rating so I’m going to rate it a 3! prob most annoying is the fact that every time you search for a drink you are forced to re-adjust the measurement unit (always initializes in ml). for gods sake please try creating a user side constant or try assigning with ‘this.’ try something though it really shouldn’t be that difficult to fix this :( also I don’t know any bartenders that are measuring in 1/3oz and 2/3oz increments which is what the app seems to like to suggest. most of us use a 4 count free hand pour system where counting to 1 = 1/4 oz and so fourth moving up in 1/4 increments on each count of the pour. maybe just call a function that is designed to adjust ingredients to the 1/4oz scale while maintaining recipe ratios and/or adjusting certain ingredients up or down based on their type - liquor vs liqueur vs syrup/juice etc. I’m not sure how the conversion is taking place but it should be able to be adjusted at the same level/place at least. hope development still underway and things improve in the future!
