Just found this app last night!
It's basically 150 drink recipes taken from the Grog Log, Intoxica and Sippin' Safari for the iphone or ipod touch.

Definitely beats the other cocktail apps I've seen so far.

The app really is great - I was able to sample a beta version and it really does make it easy to search, bookmark favorites and find out more about each of the drinks and the ingredients.
This app is totally worth the cheap price - you'll have all the information in your pocket when you are at a bar (or more importantly when you are at a liquor store).

I downloaded it and kicked the tires a bit and I can say it's the kind of high quality we've come to expect from the Bum. I've had my favorites in my iphone for about 6 months now, but this is far better than typing them in myself. And you get great photos, backgrounds, back stories, ability to search by base ingredients, tags, flavors, etc. Overall a terrific app for less than the price of a Mai-Tai!

Looks like I picked the wrong week to stop downloading apps for my iPod!

Just bought it. Really great!
Especially the search by flavor thingie!
I found myself many nights browsing through all the Bum books to find that one recipe that calls for a specific ingredient.

This would be very useful and I would buy it in a second if it didn't mean that I would have to join the apple cult. But, I guess there's probably "an app for that".

I downloaded the app recently, and it kicks all kinds of tail. Definitely well worth the $5.

This app is really good - not just for the excellent recipes, but for the way the app is thought out with all the extra menus, information and help. Really nicely done. cheers!

Nice app...this will definitely replace the page of notes that I transferred from a Palm Treo, two Blackberries and finally the iPhone. Hard to believe only $3.99, the books would cost you at least 10 times that much, even at original cover price. Thanks Bum!

...just when I thought I couldn't love my iPhone even more! The only app I ever purchased and well worth it!
Say you want an original Tiki cocktail from the vintage "lost" recipe....there's an app for that!!!

The same developer has an app called Cocktails+ which is all classic cocktails and worth a look also.
