OK, I am a mom of twins, but yes Iike a good cocktail. I’m glad I stumbled upon this because I’d rather have these recipes available on my iphone – how cool is that! Thanks for the review!

That is pretty cool. I started developing a mobile version of my site to use on phone browsers, but it is really hard to detect if the client browser is a phone browser. They impersonate normal browsers a lot. I didn’t want to do a separate mobile link, but now I may. This one is cool though since you don’t need to be connected to the Internet for it to work. Kudos to the developer. I don’t have an iPhone unfortunately–maybe he’ll make a version for the Instinct.

[...] bbum’s weblog-o-mat 有一篇很不錯的評論 Cocktails: Beautifully Designed Mixology Tool，把這個設計的幾個面向刻劃了出來，讓人了解背後的興味盎然。例如：美國禁酒年代對於飲酒文化的打壓、禁酒年代過後大型酒公司遊說通過阻止自己釀酒、調酒的法律（pass laws to prevent the resurrection of the craft alcohol and microbrew markets），一直到最近 10 多年調酒文化才得以復興，這是歷史面向的故事；在實際認識調酒文化上，調酒食譜（cocktails recipe）是不可或缺的一環，傳統上以 Cunningham’s Bartender’s Black Book 《康寧漢調酒者黑皮書》（現在已經是第 8 版了）為經典必讀聖經；但是抱著一本聖經，仍然在很多實作的時刻中有許多沒有辦法做到的事情。 [...]

I just bought it and it’s great.

The only problem I have with it after a quick browse is that the search function doesn’t seem very practical. Only 2 recipes are fully visible in the tiny area between the search field at the top and the keyboard at the bottom.
A possible solution may be to leave the filtering active after you select “done” and the keyboard slips away. The user could then click on the little cross to clear the search field and the filtering.

Sorry for having trouble getting my idea across.

[...] designed $10 iPhone App from Skorpiostech: a searchable cocktail recipe database. Check out Bill Bumgarner’s review. I love the way that the older the recipe is, the older the “paper” looks. [...]

I’m an alcoholic. It’s been a few years since my last drink, but after getting this app, I’m stocking up on vermouth, wine and vodka. Nothing beats a really good, complete bar. I look forward to falling of the wagon; I’m worth a little binge every now and then. A few drinks never hurt anybody.

The authors are buddies of mine and when they previewed the app to me i knew it would be an absolute hit. I’m somewhat of a novice drinker and having quick access to all these great recipes is worth way more than the 10$ price of admission.
