Sips & Apps

I just got an iPhone and I'm am slightly addicted (well, that's an understatement - it's like crack). I'm excited because now I'll be able to Tweet more for Martini Talk to bring you the best cocktails in all the cities I go to.

So, I've spent the morning doing my new favorite thing (downloading free apps, of course!) and unfortunately, I couldn't really find any cocktail apps I like.

Any suggestions?

I think the problem is that all the apps I find seem to have a lot of the same traditional sips. I wish there was an app that mixed up all the great cocktails served up at restaurants and bars around the country. It could be filtered by city, style (old-school, molecular, herbal, etc.), spirit (sort of like the UrbanSpoon app - my new fave). That's it -- Martini Talk needs its own app! I wonder how I could make that happen....

Now that I have a new phone, my old phone will soon be retired. As I was clearing everything out, I noticed that I had a lot of cocktail recipes saved in my notepad (which I should have Tweeted). So I thought I'd list them here. Enjoy!
