Cocktail Apps: Our Reviews
Our last piece about Cocktail Nerd gave us some ideas! We thought that we could also test out some of the cocktail apps you can find online. So, here are the three candidates that we thought we should mention.

Beachbum Berry's Tiki
That one is our favorites so far. Of course, you could accuse us of being too kind to our friend Jeff “Beachbum” Berry, but we’ve got to face the facts: Tiki is the best cocktail app we have had the chance to test. Very elegant, yet funny in its design, the app’s great strength is the mind that designed it: not only did Jeff choose all the greatest recipes he knew, but he also included the ‘true’ tiki drinks, the ones invented by the most respected bartenders in history. Easy to use, the app allows you to browse amongst the 200 or so cocktails and organize them by “Type”, “Flavor”, “Base”, etc. Even if it’s a bit expensive ($3.99), the experience is totally worth it!

iShot Machine
Unfortunately we found this app quite disappointing. Even though it is cheap (only $.99) and has some really well thought out features (like giving you the possibility to instantly email a recipe), the whole set up is kind of messy. Why in the world would anyone need more than 3000 cocktails recipes (many of them being variations of obscure and apparently ‘unfriendly’ drinks)? Within such a large database, finding something interesting becomes more than a challenge. The app as a whole isn’t really nice to look at, there aren’t any pictures of the drinks and it definitely isn’t suitable for people in search for high-class cocktails.

101 Cocktails
One word to describe this app: simplicity. As the names indicates, it only features 101 recipes. But, trust me, you don’t need any more than that. Very well designed and illustrated, the app is clearly dedicated to people in search of quick access to quality drinks. 101 Cocktails knows its classics by heart, and exists as a modern day version of the good ol’ recipe book you used to keep behind your bar. If you’re looking for some inspiration to fill your empty glass with, just shake your phone and wait for a random recipe to appear. For $1.99 only, this app is a must-have.
