Modern Classics is the first independent, critical assessment of the original drinks of these recent decades, compiled by New York Times drinks writer, journalist and author Robert Simonson. This brutally honest collection identifies, justifies and presents the authoritative, verified and properly attributed recipes in four categories: the modern classics, the objectively popular drinks that might yet achieve that status, certain drinks identified as critical favorites worthy of more attention, plus a collection of foundational recipes from the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s that helped set the stage for today’s cocktail renaissance. - over 110 meticulously researched recipes—full list of included recipes available on web site—to be gradually expanded in the future, as appropriate - The best of the best - Search recipes by base spirit, cocktail-type and date of creation - Check off the ingredients you’ve got and this app will show you which drinks you can make - Filter the recipes on multiple criteria with just a few taps - Flag recipes and tag favorites; create custom lists of recipes - Annotate recipes with comments and cumulative likes and dislikes and build up a chronological history of your explorations - Ingredient definitions included - Sync your ingredient inventory, favorites and flagged, custom lists and journal entries across our entire suite of apps and over as many iOS devices as you like, using our free sync service - Universal app, works nearly identically on both platforms Please enjoy responsibly.
Excellent reference
Easy to use. Has an amazingly curated selection of wonderful drinks.
United StatesWaste of money
$9.99 for 113 cocktails-many with ingredients no bar stocks. Waste of money. I feel tricked by the reviews. Don’t buy this when there are many other free and much more helpful cocktail apps.
United StatesLame
For $10, this should contain more than 113 recipes, none of which contain vermouth.
United StatesExcellent!
Excellent app featuring a well curated list of modern classic cocktails. Robert Simonson did a great job and the app platform works so well. I like being able to make lists. I like that is suggest which ingredients I should consider purchasing next to maximize bang-for-buck.
United StatesA Classy & Exciting Doorway to Making Great Cocktails!
This is exactly what I’ve been looking for! Googling for a recipe is a lost cause—too much recipe clutter, too many poor quality recipes out there—and that’s when I loosely know what I want to make. With Modern Classics I love that I can easily search for my cocktail craving, scroll through what I can make (based on what I’ve got in), and/or easily see what I need to quickly pop to the store for, if I’m an ingredient or two short. One request: I would love to see your ultimate classic Old Fashioned recipe! 🙏🏼
United StatesExtraordinary App!
I absolutely love this app - best feature is how it narrows down drinks to ingredients you have on hand. That and you can click every ingredient to read details like it's origin, subsitutions, or (for those you can make) recipes. Would buy again without a doubt.
United StatesThere are free apps that are way better
Very few recipes no search feature. I’m a modern bartender and I do not recommend wasting ten dollars on this app. There are free apps that blow it away.
