Reviews for Mixel, Cocktail Recipes

I downloaded and was enjoying adding ingredients until I saw most recipes were locked. I looked into Premium but it's $12/year. I really dislike subscription apps, especially for one I'll only use a handful of times a year. If it was a reasonable one time payment I'd recommend purchasing and using this app. As of now My Cocktail Bar seems to have equivalent functionality with all recipes free ($2 to remove adds).

The only cocktail recipe guide you need! Thousands of recipes from the best cocktail books around the world and an ingredient tracker so you know what you can make, and many ways of filtering and sorting recipes. There's also the "maximizer" which calculates what new ingredients will allow you to make the most new cocktails. This is absolutely my favorite app ever.

Excellent app that I use frequently. The cocktail recipes are vetted and are from reliable and quality sources. The build-a-bar feature is great, and allows you to see what ingredients you could add to expand your recipe options. The app itself is very pretty and easy to use. The ability to add notes, pictures, and track the drinks you've tried is great; I find myself adjusting the recipes to my preference over time.

By far the best cocktail app! I enjoy the pixel art but the app really shines in its vast list of cocktails and all the ways you can interact with them. Being able to sort by the different packs, flavors and see which you have ingredients for is amazing. The add-in packs are a must have if you want plenty of recipes to try out!

I LOVE this app-GREAT FOR BARTENDERS, and the most recent update fixed the one problem I previously experienced: the inability to switch bottles locations on your bar (you could only move up or down, not left-right). Now you can customize your bar easily while finding awesome recipes about virtually anything. I paid for the full set of recipes, and it has been worth it. It tells you what you can make with the ingredients you have on hand. So user friendly and super useful behind the bar. 10/10.

Fantastic app idea for bartenders, but needs work. The fact that you have to pay a subscription fee to get the (very necessary) premium features is the reason why i am uninstalling and using a different app. It's nice to have my favorite recipe books pre-loaded onto the app, but I would much rather pay a flat fee to unlock them. The menus are also a little janky and hard to navigate.

Painless to navigate (there's even a tutorial!), and curated/sourced recipes are very appreciated. I've added a few recipes from other books, but very often the IBA suggestion is right there waiting. Got the app for ingredient matching recipes, but the tips for substitutions, flavor, and category are what really impressed me. I feel like I can navigate my own cabinet in a whole new way. And since cocktails should be fun, not homework, the all-in pixel art is delightful.

This is a useful, and beautiful tool, but it's not worth the annual fee of $11, or $2/month, that they are charging. I would be very happy paying a one time fee of ~$10. The free version only has a limited selection of simple cocktail, ones I can keep in my head without needing an app. It's pretty impotent, honestly. Useless for someone already somewhat experienced as a home bartender.

After being served several nice drinks, I asked my friend where he got his recipes. He told me this app and I downloaded it. I think the virtual bar is clever and I like being able to add and backup my own creations. I've never been a fan of the retro 8bit craze but overlook it because the app works. I finally chose to pay for all of the recipes but found they moved to a subscription model. Unfortunately this is not an app I use enough to justify paying a monthly/annual fee. Lost opportunity.

I love this app! The ability to set up your actual bar, fridge, and pantry in a digital format is an absolutely amazing feature for new and experienced mixers. The fact that the app then yes what you've told it you have on hand to tell you what you can make AND how to make it is simply amazing. I'd i could complain about anything, it's be that if things are to close on the shelf, they can't be clicked. To end on a high, even if the app doesn't have the cocktail, it can manually be entered!
