Every chapter contains a hand-picked selection of 25 refined recipes – including classic favorites and modern interpretations, cocktails for special occasions, as well as non-alcoholic preparations.

Pros and cons of The Photo Cookbook – Cocktails app for iPhone and iPad

The Photo Cookbook – Cocktails app good for

tolle App. hab schon einige sehr gute Cocktails hinbekommen....
Very nice app! The quality of the images and explanations is very good! Maybe more cocktails could be added when theres an update, but still a lot of drinks to do!

Some bad moments

Doesnt work on iPhone 4S iOS 7. Needs to be fixed otherwise it is a waste of money.
If youre familiar with The Photo Cookbook series this latest entry is of the SAME QUALITY and same quantity and is a baragin at $2.99!! I have both Quick & Easy and Baking so I didnt hesitate to purchase Cocktails when I saw it today!!! Its the perfect addition to the series especially if you entertain or need to up your bartending skills!!! I LUV that ditter.projektagentur GmbH has added "Save to Favorites" to their recipes apps and its in Cocktails too!!! WELL DONE ditter.projektagentur GmbH; PLEASE keepem coming!!!!!
This app is visually appealing, with clear instructions and high quality accompanying pictures. However, there are only 5 recipes with Tequila (my main spirit of choice) and it is not represented as a category. Any cocktail manual that all but ignores Tequila in its presentation of drink recipes is sorely lacking in my opinion. This app could have been a 5 Star entry had they not practically omitted Tequila as it is highly polished, responsive, intuitive and a pleasure to look at. Perhaps a future update will rectify this issue for me.
Replaces any book or other app. Recommended by a veteran mixologist and the recipes are dead on.
The program is excellent. But I recommend to put measures either metric or English to make it more complete. By ej. 2 oz of rum, etc.
Love this self explanatory App. Cant go wrong with any of these recipes. Enjoy
