The application offers informative real-time guides on how to mix your drink. You will need to purchase an accompanying scale that connects to your phone for an additional price, but the mobile app is free.

5. Highball (iOS Only)
Highball is the best pick that lets you store and share your unique cocktail creations. Organized as a stylish virtual recipe card, this mixology app allows you to import your favorite recipes or manually add your ideas and can be fairly called a small masterpiece.
However, Highballs' design is not the only advantage. The main idea of the application is to make a convenient notebook for you. You can add the number of components and their volume and choose the most suitable picture for a cocktail. Plus, this app provides a brief description of the mixing procedure.
Highball is not for everyone. It is aimed at a narrow audience who love not only drinking but also creating cocktails. Plus, it is for those who want to have recipes for their favorite drinks.
