Similar to Mixology except it offers a ‘Favorite’ sections so you can keep track of your favorite recipes.

For all you James Bond wannabes out there. Although this is a specific app, martinis are an important drink to be able to mix.

Basically like 4square for drinks. Say you want to make an old fashion but have never tasted a good one before; read some reviews and find a bar with a great reputation so you can learn what it is supposed to taste like.

Shots can be just as intricate and delicious as mixed drinks…and even harder to make in some cases. This will teach you to make shots in the classiest way possible.

Really fun and useful app. Quizzes to test if you know what ingredients are in which drinks. Perfect if you want to become an actual bartender and are having a tough time remembering specifics.
