# Be a Lush: iOS app for drink making helps folks feel more informed with cocktail selections

I don’t think it’s any secret that Portland knows its beverages. With a thriving brewing and distilling scene, we’re lucky to have a wealth of knowledge within arms reach. And any number of bartenders and mixologist who are willing to help us with those decisions. But sometimes, you could use a little help. Like [Lush, the drink making app](http://lushapp.co/ "Lush").



> Ever wonder what to order at a bar, only to draw a blank and order a Bud Light again? With Lush, you no longer have to look like an novice. Rather than asking the bartender for “something fruity”, you can look like a pro explaining how to make a Vanilla Vixen. If the hundreds of drinks are overwhelming, a shortlist like Famous Movie Drinks should make your choice easier.

> Hosting a party is also a breeze with Lush. If you only have Rum, Lime Juice, and Triple Sec on hand, Lush makes recipes appear instantly.

Lush was created by Portland developer [Tim Wood](http://timwoodcreates.com/ "Tim Wood"). It’s currently [available for $1.99 on iOS](https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/lush-mixed-drinks/id719854580?mt=8&ign-mpt=uo%3D4 "Lush on the App Store"). And if you want to chat about it, it’s [on Product Hunt, today](http://www.producthunt.com/posts/lush "Lush on Product Hunt").
