  1. 5/5Essential One-Stop Cocktail App

    This is one slick app. It was an instant upgrade to the premium version as soon as I started using it. It’s both beautiful and functional, and the recent update added even more value. As a former fan of the simple yet effective Bartender’s Choice, which has not kept up with software updates, Barspoon excels in every way: you can create your own inventory and search for drinks you can make with what you have, you can browse by a variety of drink categories or by a major ingredient (I have been enjoying the Riffs on an Old Fashioned), the search function is effective, there are profiles of mixologists and the extra information on each drink, the ability to mark a drink as tried as well as having the option to select a favorite is a great way to keep track, and so many other features that all add up to Barspoon being the essential one-stop cocktail app!

  2. 5/5A must have for cocktail enthusiasts!

    This app is a game-changer for anyone who wants to elevate their cocktail game! Its extensive collection of high-quality cocktail recipes includes all the classic concoctions as well as newer modern mixes, providing a wealth of options for every taste and occasion. The intuitive user interface makes it easy to navigate the recipe collection, and once you find what you're looking for, the recipes are easy to follow to produce results like an experienced mixologist. One of the standout features is the stunning photography accompanying each recipe which helps you visualize the end result. It's definitely worth upgrading to the premium version to get the entire library and to add your own recipes and notes to the existing recipes!

  3. 5/5The BEST Cocktail App

    I’ve tried all the pay-for-play bar apps and seriously, none of them can compare to the BarSpoon app. I tell all my friends about it and I use it all the time as I have a pretty extensive home bar. It motivates me to make drinks I would have never thought of. If I could suggest one thing though - for the drink recipes that I can make with the ingredients in my bar - please make a “surprise me” selection or a way to filter recipes by base liquor so that way when I feel like having a certain base then I can pull up recipes that I can make using it. Regardless, I don’t use my other app for my cocktail recipes. Thank you for making this app! The interface if classy, the drinks are amazing.

  4. 5/5Absolutely essential

    Elegant and user friendly, BarSpoon has obviously been created by a consummate professional. With recipes ranging from dive bar creations to classic staples, this is a must-have for new bartenders, servers, and anyone wanting to expand their knowledge of mixed spirits. The recipes are detailed and easy to follow, with measurements in both oz and ml for international users. In addition to being a helpful manual, BarSpoon is an easy-to-navigate guide book for the world of bartending. There are tabs for common bartending lingo, tools, tips and more. You can explore drinks specific to certain spirits, by taste preferences, and even by city of origin and/or time period. Some of the drinks even have fun facts attached for that extra flair. The app is easily customizable with options to save recipes, mark them as tried, and even add your own. If you’re at all interested in the world of bartending, I would advise that you download this app immediately as it can only add to the tools in your belt!

  5. 5/5Add your home inventory and get suggested recipes

    One of the best apps out there where we can add all the ingredients we have at home and it suggests recipes based on it so I paid for the upgrade and then next update (4.5), the whole layout changed and it took a while to understand where that feature went. Please be cognizant that layout changes need a walkthrough at times. It’s hard to keep up, Especially when you want to open the app right when you are planning to play the host for guests and can longer find the right thing.
