This app includes all of the recipes of the PDT book plus more and continues to receive periodic updates from time to time so at 9 99 this app is really a great deal compared to the book version In addition to the sheer number of recipes available you get all of the unmatched functionality and features of the MixologyTech suite of apps The most important functionality is the inventory feature which lets you enter your inventory on hand in the app It then shows you which recipes you can make with your ingredients With each ingredient an explanation is given of what it is and all ingredients are provided as links so you can pick an ingredient in a recipe for example and then see which other recipes call for that ingredient Substitutions are recommended for like ingredients when you are missing a specific ingredient but have a good alternative on hand That s a particularly important feature in this app since recipes call for specific brands of spirits and if you don t have that brand on hand another will be recommended as a substitute A sync feature that takes about 30 seconds to set up will sync all of your ingredients across all seven MixologyTech apps and across multiple devices This is particularly handy if you use the app both on an iPhone and iPad It also means that any time you delete and reinstall one of the apps you can just set up the sync again and all of your ingredients are repopulated immediately Favorites and flags make it easy to find your stand by drinks and drinks you ve been meaning to try You can make custom lists of recipes and journal notes on each recipe which is helpful if you want to make a drink again but it was just a little too sweet not sweet enough too strong etc Recipes can be searched and filtered by various criteria including base spirit method of preparation drink type provenance and more Another great feature if like me you re always looking to expand the inventory and possibilities of your home bar is the recommendation of ingredients to acquire Near the bottom of the home screen you ll see a count of your ingredients and what percentage of recipes you can make from the app It then recommends the next ingredients that would most increase the number of drinks you d be able to make if you added them to your inventory This app provides a great all around group of cocktail recipes made to the high standards of one of the top cocktail bars in the world For something a little more geared towards beginners I d recommend the Shaken Stirred app and for the more serious cocktail bernerd I d recommend Martin s Index of Cocktails which includes an exhaustive list of recipes from the mid nineteenth through mid twentieth century                     Awesome drinks recipe app Meat_Bucket

A digital cocktail guide with the care to tell you when you have an appropriate substitue for a specific property on hand or are missing only one or two ingredients Perfect for planning and perfect for plotting that next expansion bottle                     It s the Substitutions Silly 12(b)(6)

Every cocktail lover should have the PDT book aka the Bible but they should only pull it out to read or flip through while relaxing on the couch hopefully with a perfectly balanced cocktail For all other occasions just pull out the app and find exactly what you re looking for much faster The design of this suite of apps is perfectly suited to the at home cocktail enthusiast Input your ingredients once sync to all other apps easily authenticating via 1Password support flag recipes and drink lovely cocktails I m a particular fan of flagging recipes I want to try because the list of flagged recipes shows you results from all installed apps in the suite Very easy to find a good one to try likewise with favorites                     Much better than the book amorelli

When I was in college I had a dream to make my friends any drink they wanted and drive a flying car This was a fantasy not the least of reasons because organizing a bar is difficult and because flying cars do not exist However this app has allowed me to realize the dream in the most convenient way imaginable This app makes the connections behind the recipes for you helps you pick most useful things to buy manage your inventory Simply log your bar inventory It then knows what you can make what you cannot make and helps you figure out spirits of opportunity to discover what to buy next to optimize the number of drinks you can make It shows you which you are one or two ingredients away from making Did I mention it does all that while featuring an incredible collection of well curated recipes It does that I have not mixed a drink I did not enjoy The developer supports the app like no other I have never found such a kind considerate communicative developer who was so truly interested in understanding and assisting in supporting the app despite the fact that I was running an older release of iOS Some reviewers complain about the price They are fools For twice the price considering the curation more efficient ingredient purchases because of the app s analytics and the curation this app is a bargain The money I save in purcahses alone because the app optimizes those ingredients with which I can make the most drinks I can discern and choose based on my individual taste from the sample it recommends Then consider the curation you are getting an almost mechanically intelligent version of a book that costs with shipping approximately 20 To this add that you get great support and you carry the information everywhere because the developer has made it an app                     game chaning app great developer support Auser237

Every time I think this app can t get any better you go and make it better The only thing this app was missing was a way to take notes on drinks I ve made Now it has that Love the creative recipes love the inventory features Favorite cocktail app                     Close to perfection TactfulCactii

An excellent companion to the book Don t be discouraged if the initial assessment shows you can only make a small amount of the recipes many of the missing ingredients may be things you ve already got around the house especially if you re making cocktails at home sugar water lemons limes etc And if you ve got sugar and water you can make simple syrup so add that one to your list too Additionally the app offers basic substitutions to make it easier to increase the number of recipes available to you Example you can substitute generic bourbon if you don t have Buffalo Trace rye if you don t have Old Overholt and so on I love how easy it is to add your ingredients how it shows how many recipes include each ingredient the description of each ingredient and examples for each category how your ingredients sync across other apps from the same developer the Easy Cocktails app Wondrich s app etc and how it s easy to see recipes for which you are missing only one or two ingredients The only feedback I would provide is it would be nice to have the ability to rate each cocktail for personal preference I don t care to see others ratings though Also the ability to add ingredients to a Wish List or Shopping List would be beneficial Now if we can only get an app for other books too like Speakeasy Death Co any of Dale DeGroff s books etc One final note if you find these recipes too complicated or requiring too many obscure or homemade ingredients try the Easy Cocktails app from the same developer Keep in mind PDT is a world class cocktail bar that pushed the envelope You can t reasonably expect the casual home bar to have all these ingredients on hand or the casual home bartender to have the desire to seek out all the ingredients Just because you buy The French Laundry or El Bulli cookbooks doesn t mean you re going to be cooking like Keller or Adri at home any time soon Check your expectations                 Excellent Don t be discouraged MotardNerd

Love the app Would be nice if one could add personal notes and ratings Also I noticed that the Junior recipe lists the original proportions not the updated variation in the PDT book Wondering if this is the case for many other cocktails             Recipes Differ Arabicsmith

10 is steep for an app but I was excited to check out some new cocktail recipes Added by pretty solid home bar and was told I could make 17 of the 400 recipes Ouch So many obscure ingredients needed Would become infinitely more useful if it also included classic cocktails forgot about that recipe or nice didn t realize I had all the ingredients for that one         Let down dereklava

First let me say that this app has a lot of potential I won t spend time on the good stuff The app description covers that well This is a long review because I can tell the app developers pay attention to detail My biggest complaint is how ingredients are handled They need to be organized first by type subtype then brand 1 where do I find Gallo dry vermouth Not under g I can t even find vermouth How do I enter Jose Cuervo tequila Protip use the search on the main screen Which reminds me I should be able to pull down on the ingredients list to search it 2 Organizing the ingredients by specific brand doesn t make sense The home bartender isn t going to have 15 different bottles of rum 3 The app has some substitution logic which is good but a type subtype brand hierarchy would help the user understand the substitutions e g Tequila gold Jose Cuervo Especial There should be an other in the subtype in case the user s brand is not there The app can then explain how good or bad a substitution is e g The recipe calls for a specific brand of light rum but all you have is Kraken spiced dark rum It s 2 steps away in similarity Not the right brand or subtype As things are now I don t know which substitutions the app might use so I end up lying to the app telling it I have all these similar ingredients that I don t have to ensure more drinks are within 1 ingredient The second big request is that there be some notion of popularity for different drink recipes This could be collaborative or it could be set by experts I want to explore new drinks but I don t know if I should buy a bottle of lillet for a specific drink which may not be popular Maybe a section for top drinks         Needs work coppit

Seriously 10 for a cocktail app that has an entire section of Sours but no Whiskey Sour recipe The original Sour Come on guys So much focus on fancy schmancy drinks that have you cooking up exotic pastes and infusions which is fine as long as you fully cover the basic classics Who knows what else is missing Not me because this was a deal breaking omission         Sours rgabel416

Ok to start with I have a PDT cocktail book so let s set aside the fact that I knew I d love the recipe content This is a fantastic effing app Entering the contents of my home bar was a matter of switching toggles and when done I found that I could make 207 of 400 cocktails I could quickly make a few infusions and syrups per the included recipes and up that number I LOVE that the recipes tell me what my substitutions would be It s so clever to show me a list of recipes that I m 1 or 2 ingredients away from making Often the missing ingredient is something easy to acquire like orange juice or raspberry jam or something I sub in Normally I balk at paying over 1 99 for an app but this is my favorite new app and worth every bit of the price I m so glad I bought it I guarantee that much as I love my cocktail books I will use this app more frequently than my library of books Well done PDT                     Fantastic The BEST cocktail app heymerideth

This is what I ve been missing from my bar Having loved the PDT book for years this is the perfect replacement Load up your ingredients into the app and it tells you what cocktails you can make including substations for certain ingredients                     The best cocktail app Meagancarrine

Was looking for a good cocktail recipe app this was not it though I m sure the recipes are top notch the ingredients to make them are far from what an at home bar could ever hold Serious mixologists may find it useful for recipes but none of the recipes are simple to make Cost of app is also a bit of a downer Looking for a simple cocktail app for a whiskey smash recipes look elsewhere         Far beyond those of mortal bars Gus The Wage

I ve got about 100 150 different cocktail ingredients at home but sometimes I struggle with creative ways to combine them You add your inventory of ingredients and it easily guides you to cocktails you can make either entirely or partially A great resource for a home bartender My wife has also taken a liking to it since I m not always home yet she would still like to be able to make drinks for herself based on what s in the cabinet                     Solid Great UI Schot B

Awesome to have PDT recipes on my phone It s missing a couple of my favorites from the book but does have some additional recipes The entire family of cocktail apps from this company are fantastic I look forward to seeing them updated                 Been waiting a year for this Ed Anger

Always loved the PDT book and this is perfect because it lists what you can make with the ingredients you have Well done                     Great ParsleyMe
