If you run your own bar, or just like to show off to the opposite sex about your drink knowledge, then Pocket Cocktails is just the application for you.

Available on your iPhone now for free, after launching for $4.99 about a year ago, the application is basically a bible of mixing drinks.

It contains a massive list of everyone’s favourite and undiscovered drinks and includes nice big photos of every mix plus each drink’s ingredient list and recipe for putting the cocktails together.

The app is created by Robert Maran and Deidra Jones, drinking experts by their own rights, and has organised cocktails into eight categories:
•    Martinis
•    Summer
•    Creamy
•    Warmers
•    Classics
•    Tropical
•    Shooters
•    Mocktails

A great feature of the application is the search function. You can search by name of drink and also by ingredients.

Meaning, if you are in the mood for a drink with a taste of coconut, then search for the ingredient and enjoy the list of matching drinks.
Or, if you can’t remember the name of a drink but can remember the taste of it, conduct a search and you could be lucky enough to find it.

Not to be outdone, the graphics and layout of Pocket Cocktails is fantastic and really easy to use. There are great sound effects and some funny little images that all tie-in perfectly with the boozy theme.

Pocket Cocktails is a highly recommended or any drinking lover, or wannabe bar-tender.
