I was at a restaurant last night and I was thinking:

"hmm, I haven't had rum in a while, but I don't want a fruity drink..." (I ended up ordering a dry vodka martini with extra olives, but anyway, I was playing an intellectual game with rum)

then it occured to me that I haven't seen an Iphone app that has alcoholic drink recipes natively.

How cool would it be to:

1) search drinks by ingredient: for example, see a list of all drinks made with rum

2) see the ingredients of each drink - might be useful for a cocktail party improve bar tender, aka college student trying to impress that cute sophomore / junior

(oh, wait you don't turn 21 until junior year... my bad) [or would it be the freshman guys using the app who are trying to learn the low-down] - neither of these scenarios was my situation (i'm post college years)

3) put the app on random to try new drinks

4) have a most popular drink list

5) a way to record notes about wine, esp different types and companies, including prices. Maybe a way to list favorite wines by country and by price.

6) information about grapes / barley, hops, etc so you can rub shoulders with the connoisseurs at a party.

7) some things to say about wine that no normal person would say to again, make fun of the connoisseurs ("mmm... definitely a woody taste")

8) a way to see where beers are made

9) a way to take a picture of a beer bottle and somehow save it to your comments for that beer. (same thing could be done for wine)



What do you think??

hit me with a thumbs up reputation if you think it is a decent idea and please show your support with a reply.

I know nothing about making apps, but I love the apps that hackint0sh readers are making.

Cheers!

Definitely a cool idea.

drinkmixer.com has all of that just go to that through safari

Hmm, this is a good idea. I might take a crack at making something after I've finished my uni assignment in a couple of weeks That is of course is somebody else doesn't.

is drinksmixer.com

I was hoping to be able to use this requested app in places with no signal.

I don't get signal at some bars and restaurants, nor would I want to wait for safari to load.

Plus,
drinksmixer.com is not optimized for iphone viewing.

a native app would be faster, easier to read, and more easily personalized for user editing. You could save notes on various specific brands of beer, etc.

A website is mainly reading, not a personalized log with info to look up.

how difficult would it be to make an app like this?

An app like this would be awesome. I love drinking

I still would like a native app though. don't know if anyone else would like one.
