Welcome to another round of our After Hours App Series: a detailed look into all the apps you need on your smartphone to have a great night. Stay tuned each day for another round-up of the best apps for after-hours fun.
Mixologist
A comprehensive cocktail app with metric and imperial units, the ability to add your own recipes, and a slot machine to pick random drinks. If paying for the app ($0.99 on iOS, $1.49 on Android) is too much for you, a more basic free ad-supported version (Mixology) is also available.

Minibar
Minibar doesn’t have the broadest selection of recipes (110 in the current version), but the gorgeous photography and detailed background on each drink make it an appealing prospect nonetheless. $2.99, iOS only for now.

Cocktail Flow
Cocktail Flow
Our favourite feature in Cocktail Flow is the ability to list the actual contents of your bar and identify drinks you can make either with what’s already to hand, or with just one or two additions. Handy, if occasionally dangerous.
Android, Windows Phone

Liquor Cabinet
Like the aforementioned Cocktail Flow but for iOS, Liquor Cabinet makes it easy to match the contents of your bar to potential recipes.
