Bartender's Choice Vol. 2

This is still the best cocktail app out there, put out by the best bar (Attaboy), with the best bartenders (Roger, Jon, Chris…). I’d love to see an update to include newer cocktails or variations, but … still. Can’t be beat.

The app is easily navigable; you can search for cocktails by ingredient or filter them by characteristics using the “I feel like” feature. I also appreciate that the app credits the creator of the cocktail, bar, and year it was made. The notes section for each cocktail allows me to document my experience/experiments with each recipe. My only single gripe is that when viewing a cocktail recipe, the “back” arrow on the top left of the screen is practically non-responsive, possibly due to its closeness to the top bar of an iPhone display (where the current time is displayed). I would absolutely love it if this could be fixed so I can continue to use this app quickly while I’m bartending

Please fix the back button. It is so freaking hard to hit sometimes. I tap the screen 20 or so times till it finally works. Or may it so you can pull from the side to go to the previous screen. Something just needs to be done. It’s almost unusable.

I’ve been getting into craft cocktails for a while now and have a fairly good collection of reference cocktail books. This app blows all of them out of the water It has an incredible selection of cocktails and the app works well to recommend drinks you may like based on some parameters (eg I’m in the mood for a boozy gin cocktail) I use this app very regularly and am terrified they’ll discontinue support for it and I’ll lose access to my many many favorite cocktails!! I would happily pay for a new app if they were to release a new version. Please keep up the great work.

I’m a huge fan and use the app all the time. However, I’d like to see new recipes added. I love boozy agave drinks and one can only drink so many Mance Ryders or Zone Amarillos. Would love to see some new stuff.

Great resource wish you could add your own recipes though

I use this thing at least once a week. 1) I don’t have to remember recipes for favorite drinks. 2) I can search an ingredient I’d like to use up and find a delicious drink that I can apply it to. 3) I discover new incredible drinks all the time. I have two minor issues/requests: the back button needs to move away from the iOS “return to last app” button in the top left, and the search should include custom notes. I like to flag recipes with “need to try” if I don’t have the ingredients on hand, it would be great to be able to search for that phrase. Or build a tagging system. Up to you. Otherwise, fantastic job! The app is worth it for the Gloria alone.

Pro: - Solid collection of recipes - Ability to make notes on recipes - Ability to solve the “idk what I want make me anything” statement that people say at the bar - Updates and new recipes - Historical blurbs Cons: - No personal notebook. I really want this app to have a personal note book so you can keep all your own personal recipes and so I don’t have to flip to my notes section of the phone.

I bought this about 2 weeks ago for if I’m in a pinch behind the bar. I hadn’t made a sex on the beach in years and it randomly was ordered, figured I’d use the app and they don’t even have it on there.

Gold mine of truly good modern cocktails.
