Mix a drink with Cocktails Made Easy for iPhone
Those of you who like to mix a drink to pass the time may have heard of DiffordsGuide, a popular cocktail mailing list. These people have brought out "Cocktails Made Easy", a new book which now has a companion iPhone App unsurprisingly titled Cocktails Made Easy ($2.99, App Store).
What is surprising is that Cocktails Made Easy is quite fully featured, sporting 530 cocktail recipes that use only 14 different ingredients. Every one of these recipes has a photograph accompanying it, and the ability to note and rate them. You can search through cocktails by what ingredients they contains, their rating, or by name.
If you only have a few ingredients at hand, you can also personalise the app by customising an on-screen "cocktail cabinet" which uses Delicious Library-esque presentation to show what drinks you have at hand, and what drinks you can make with them.
Certain details, like the ability to shake the iPhone to bring up a random cocktail, or the provided ratings and comments from the alluded to Mr. Difford make this a pretty good purchase for mixers and their drinkers alike. To top it off, it all works offline.
The people from Difford's Guide encourage you to enjoy your cocktails responsibly, however. Quite.

Bought this app and overall I like it but I was a bit disappointed they didn't have any coffee based liquors like kahlua on the self. Hope they add more in future updates.
Cheers.
Thank you for purchasing the application.
