Editor's review of Bartender's Companion

• "Bartender's Companion"

• Reviewed by: CNET Staff
• Version reviewed: Bartender's Companion 2004

This program stores recipes for a wide variety of cocktails and alcoholic beverages. Like most database-oriented applications of this kind, Bartender's Companion's interface is rather plain Jane, although its logically organized design makes it easy to locate any recipe you need in moments. In the left pane, you'll find a tree-based structure organized into such categories as beer drinks, cocktails, frozen drinks, and punches. Clicking any category reveals numerous subcategories; for example, the cocktails section is broken down into drinks based on vodka, rum, bourbon, and tequila. Not only does this program tell you how to make each drink, it also gives you nutritional information, such as calories and carbs. Although the included library of recipes seems rather comprehensive, you can add your own via a simple right-click. Professional bartenders and folks who host a lot of cocktail parties can benefit from this handy program.

  "one for the price of 2???"

  on January 15, 2004

  Summary: I checked out this program along with Living Cookbook 2003. They are exactly the same program, one has a database of drinks, the other has cooking recipes. Each costs $30 which makes it $60 if you want both programs. Why not having all different kin... read more >>

  "Gimmick!!"
