Bevnap: Cocktail Recipes

Could be great if it worked better, would love if I could add app generated drink images

For the beginners - there are a ton of great cocktails you can import. For the pros - you can add ingredients, costs associated with them, ABV info, pictures, formatting is consistent. Really well thought out. Feature requests - acid adjustment calculator and ability to add multiple garnishes

I’m not a professional bartender or mixologist. I’m just a guy who likes to have fun while entertaining at home, and I like to come up with my own riffs on classics. This app is NOT just another compilation of 10,000 cocktails (you can google that all day long and have fun)… although it has a lot of cocktails you can access. This app is NOT yet another social media platform (although you can share recipes with friends and community). So, what is this? For me, it’s the electronic version of my home bar recipe book. What do I LOVE? - No subscription!!! It’s a one time purchase and it costs less than a nice notebook at the store. You can backup your data to the your iCloud (no new subscription needed), or to their standard backup format if you don’t have iCloud. - Did you decide to ditch the app? Export your recipes to CSV, PDF, for your own safekeeping and use elsewhere. You’re not held hostage by this app. Other apps I’ve seen either lock you in, don’t have a native way for back-up / export, or both. - Flexibility! I can create my own ingredients, recipes, ice, glassware, types / categories. You get to upload your own pictures for your cocktails and ingredients… and if you want to, you can add ABV, cost, etc. to your ingredients It’s as flexible as you want to make it! - The interface is easy to use. Is there opportunity for small improvements? Sure, and I’m sure they’ll make those improvements as they go along… but overall it’s great and easy to follow. For the record, I don’t know the guys who created the app. I stumbled upon it because I was frustrated with everything else out there and I was trying to create my own app (which was causing other frustrations). This isn’t a “friends & family review”… it’s a review from a mixology enthusiast who found the perfect app. Cheers!

There’s nothing out there like this and I love the way Jeff is so forthcoming with his knowledge of cocktails, calculators, recipes, etc.! We need more bartenders like him 🙌🏻🙏🏻

Adding friends is an exercise that will lead you to pull your hair out. Adding a profile that you already have doesn’t seem possible, you can only create a new one, you can’t seem to login to an existing one. The app “looks” good but is so full of issues it is almost unusable.

This app is not only fun to peruse but also incredibly versatile and extremely practical for considering sorts of cocktail bar things. The ingredients calculator is incredibly handy in thinking about how much I am paying for each drink I make at home every evening. Love this thing all around

Jeff and the team are definitely working diligently on this app. I had a few bugs when it first started but now it’s working great. I’m sure they’re going to continue to improve it and I am furiously adding recipes.

As someone who has followed Jeff’s career I was thrilled to see the app go live. What an amazing tool for bartenders of all levels! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND all restaurants/bars have all of their bar staff download this app.

This is a great new app. After years of saving posts and reels I now have a place to quickly create and save recipes.

Love the look and organization. Sometimes autocomplete suggestions appear when entering ingredients, sometimes not. Very easy to miss-enter ingredients, or end up with blank fields when creating/editing. Very excited to see this app grow and improve. Thank you for making this!

I can’t say enough good things about this app. Not only will I be using it to help manage my bar program but I’ll be recommending it to bartenders, servers, managers, or anyone interested in making drinks. It’s completely customizable, intuitive, and just easy to use.

Most cocktail apps are designed for newbies to discover new recipes. This one has some recipes but it’s mostly about building a platform for you to catalog your own recipes you’ve created or collected. I have a notebook with hundreds of specs I’ve collected over the years and I’m so excited to finally digitize them in a practical way. The app is currently a bit buggy as it was just release but both the creator and developer have been super hands on and helpful with support.
