Two apps that can help you save on cocktails

If, like us, your resolution for 2012 was to stop splurging on overpriced cocktails and learn how to make your own, then you’ll love Liquor Cabinet (for iOS, US$0.99 from the App Store). The best of an ever-increasing number of drink recipe apps, it allows you to custom build your concoction based either on what you have to hand or what you’d like to end up with.
Of course, it won’t actually fetch the Angostura Bitters for you; but, in a year when everyone’s going to be watching their wallet, an app that allows you to keep living the highlife without bankrupting yourself watching a mixologist set fire to some basil leaves is a real result. Offering something similar on the Android side, try Mixologist Drink Recipes (free, or US$0.99 for the full version, from the Android Market), loaded with 7,900 drink recipes which utilize 1,300 ingredients.
