Cocktail Art Reviews

I just got CocktailArt and in my bar you cannot enter your favorite brands 😞, or specifically what I have on my bar - canceling

App claims to be able to show you what drinks are available to make with the ingredients you select that you have. Yeah, it doesn’t do that at all. It’s a waste of money and the recipes it does provide are a waste. There are other apps out there that provide way more for way less. The 5 star reviews are more than likely fake reviews.

Purchased the lifetime subscription, but realized the MyBar inventory is only based on generic names. More specific brands would be better for inventory management and mixing.

And have a suggested search/spell check in search.

Would also be nice to sort craftable cocktails by rating.

Make a good app the ruin it by spamming review requests

Not free as advertised

I saw glowing reviews for CocktailArt and thought, meh, why not?

When I opened CocktailArt I was a little blindsided by the wall of Cyrillic text that came up. Ack! Nobody mentioned that in the reviews. I poked at random things until I managed to toggle the language to English.

Some content remained untranslated, though. CocktailArt is therefore of limited use.

Attractive set up. The free version is pretty limited though. Common and popular ingredients like Peppermint Shnapps and spiced rum aren’t included. It doesn’t seem to support adding ingredients or my own recipes. It might be worth the $4 if that feature were available. Otherwise it’s too limited to be useful to me.

Is there a way to change it from ml to oz. our messed up American measuring system makes it unusable 🤷‍♂️

I really like CocktailArt’s design. It allows you to add your own cocktails, build up collections, etc. It’s an extremely versatile canvas you can paint to suit your bar and the bottles you have.

Unfortunately, I can’t go more than a few clicks through CocktailArt without hitting the loading wheel that never ends, followed by a “connection lost” symbol. Apart from downloading and sharing cocktail recipes, I simply can’t understand why an app like this would constantly need to be connected to the internet.

Lots of recipes there, but haven’t found a search feature to locate specific cocktails

This is the first cocktails app I’ve installed, and I paid the one-time fee for the upgrade that adds hundreds more recipes to CocktailArt ’s database. Because it’s the only app of its kind that I’ve used, I have nothing to compare it to.
There are way more drinks in the database than I’ll ever try, but it’s good to have so many drink recipes to explore. I like that I can check favorite recipes, which get added to a “Favorites” collection. That makes it easy to find them again.
You can also create your own collection of recipes, although I don’t see myself doing that. Also, each image is accompanied by a colorful image of a glass containing the finished beverage in the recipe. The image isn’t a photograph, rather, it’s an artist’s rendering that suggests what the finished drink looks like. Personally, I’d rather see a photograph, but I don’t object to the illustrations.
You can create individual drink recipes, too, and this is a nice feature, which brings me to a criticism. I created my first recipe for a Mai Tai, because the recipe included in CocktailArt doesn’t mention ice. I’d never had a Mai Tai before, but I couldn’t imagine it wouldn’t include ice. So I googled Mai Tai, and sure enough, it’s made with crushed ice.
If there was a way to edit recipes in the default database, I would have added a sentence in the description of how to make the drink, but the default recipes can’t be edited. So I created a new recipe for Trader Vic’s version of the Mai Tai and noted that it requires crushed ice.
Another criticism is that there are a lot of typos and misspellings. The first drink that appears on the default “Cocktails” tab is the “Honye B.” I cold be wrong, but I think it’s supposed to be spelled “Honey B,” since one of the ingredients is honey. And that brings up another issue. In the recipe for “Honye B,” the measurement for the honey ingredient is “20 pc.”
That measurement also appears in the ingredients for a Bloody Mary... Worcestershire sauce: 3 pc, and Pepper: 2 pc. What is a “pc”? Maybe if I were a mixologist, I’d know what a “pc” of honey is, but I have no idea.
The instructions for a Kamikaze read, “Shake with ice cube and strain into a chilled cocktail glass.” Just one ice cube? My intuition says ice *cubes* but the ambiguous instructions would lead me to google the drink recipe just to be sure.
The Mojito recipe calls for mint *sprigs,* but the mixing instructions say “muddle mint *springs* with sugar and lime juice...” It’s obvious that the author meant to say “muddle mint *sprigs,*” but this is another example of sloppy, or nonexistent, copy editing.
I’ve only looked at a few dozen recipes and found the errors above. I’m guessing that there are probably several more typos, spelling, and usage errors among the hundreds of recipes that I haven’t viewed yet.
The point, for me, is that all of these little errors (including omitting the crushed ice for the Mai Tai recipe) don’t inspire confidence in CocktailArt . I shouldn’t have to google a drink recipe to verify that a recipe included in CocktailArt is accurate. I appreciate what the developer has done, and CocktailArt is useful, but it doesn’t reflect the highest level of professionalism. It’s not polished.

Best app for cocktails!😀😀😀

Very very good!)

This is easy to use and I like the fact I can enter what I have on hand and get recipes that allow me to try different drinks. The only issue I have is that some of the recipes use a measurement abbreviated “pc” and I can’t find a definition for that so don’t know how to put those cocktails together. If the developer reads this can you respond with what this measurement is???

You can select the flavor for the cocktails, and many recipe you can choose, with CocktailArt, you can find your cocktails with your taste.

This is one of the most useful app. I work as a bartender. You learn theory and practice at the same time. I look like i know everything haha. I wish you all the best you smart person who invented this

This is an awesome app; I love it! Just can’t figure out what the number relates to on each drink!!! Hmmmm! Keep up the great job!

Estoy muy agradecido con esta aplicación esta muy buenas gracias por las recetas
