Each ingredient and cocktail has a corresponding high resolution image which helps you in identifying it.

Verdict:

The app is a classy, well designed app for people who wish to be self sufficient in the art of cocktail making. The interface is simple and the instructions are easy to follow. The app requires a staggering 20 MB space due to the high quality images and graphics.
