1 . Mixology

iOS | Android 
Downloaded over nine million times and the number-one cocktail app on iTunes, Mixology (and the ad-free Mixologist, available for $0.99 on iOSand $1.49 on Android) offers nearly 8,000 drink recipes mixed in with some crude humor and mild profanity. You can find nearby liquor stores, enter all the liquor and mixer types you have on hand and search the database for all the cocktails you’re able to make, and share recipes with friends.

2. Bartender

Android
With between one and five million installs, more than 11,000 reviews, and a 4.1 rating, the free Bartender app is an easy-to-use personal drink-making assistant to which you can add your own recipes. Drinks are easily viewed, rated, favorited, filtered by title, and searched.

3.Liquor Run Mobile

iOS | Android | Windows Phone 7
Liquor Run Mobile uses your phone’slocation services to ensure that when you’re away on vacation you can still find an open bottle store after 7 p.m.—or find a half-decent IPA nearby. The database features more than 40,000 U.S. retail liquor stores and lets you browse by zip code or address for a proximity-sorted list or a map of all liquor stores in a 10-mile radius, with turn-by-turn directions if you need ’em.

4. The Wine Ratings Guide

iOS | Android
The Nirvino Wine Ratings Guideboasts somewhere between one and two million wine ratings at your fingertips—the largest wine-rating database in the world. It’s the top-rated iPhone wine app and pairs with many food apps too. Search for any wine and you’ll receive a hefty list (so be specific when searching) sorted by name, price, grape varietal, food pairing, flavor profile, region, producer, and designation.

5. Hello Vino

iOS | Android
Rated the best app for wine shoppers by the New York Times, the freeHello Vino wine app uses a simple, step-by-step question-and-answer process to serve up a wine recommendation based on either a wine pairing for your meal, a wine suggestion for an occasion, a wine according to taste/flavor, or a wine from a country/region. There’s real-time wine-label image recognition and a My Wines list so you never forget another wine, and a mobile site for Nokia, Windows Phone, BlackBerry, and other devices.

6.Untappd

Web | iOS | Android | Blackberry |Windows Mobile
Over 625,00 beer enthusiasts worldwide enjoy using this free social app for checking into beers, rating them, and adding personal tasting notes. You can see what your friends are drinking, “toast” them, and even check into the venue you’re drinking at if you’re also on Foursquare. Five bucks a month adds the ability to export your data, view detailed stats, and a special supporters-only badge. Read the full review here.

7.Cocktail Flow (Android/Windows Phone 7)

Cocktail Flow has a pretty solid database of drinks and recipes, but that’s not the app’s real strong suit and focus. You can use the database to make some good drinks, punches, shots, and non-alcoholic drinks, but the first thing you’ll want to do when you install the app is to add the contents of your home bar, or the bar at your friend’s house. From there, the app will help you find drinks you can make, guide you to downloadable drink packs you can purchase from within the app that show you even more recipes (many of which are seasonal), and walk you through making the drinks you have the ingredients for. The app also gets you familiar with bartending basics if you’re a beginner, types of glassware, bar tools, and more. Finally, Cocktail Flow offers a shopping assistant that will help you build a liquor budget based on the drinks you like to make and build a shopping list of the ingredients you should buy to make the things you like. Cocktail Flow is completely free.
