This page is a work in progress.

So you want to serve drinks? Well, get your cocktail shaker ready because you're going to be juggling drinks in no time at all. Just don't spill it, it creates quite a mess.

This is a non-exhaustive list of drinks that are separate from the main Foods and Drinks page, which is hard to sort and quickly filter through while you're playing the game. If you truly want to step it up, you could even learn these recipes from memory! These recipes only contain ingredients which are found in your alcohol & soda fountain, with some optional extras to spruce up its looks.

Optional ingredients will be in italic.

Ice usually means served over ice, the act of filling your preferred drinking container with ice first, usually one serving from the ice dispenser will do fine and then pouring over the drink. The ice in the drink actually creates a special extra effect in the glass which just adds extra flair to your drink.

Name Ingredients Preferred glass Extra's
Beer Beer Drinking glass Good old beer, perfect for any occasion and doesn't need anything extra.
Screwdriver Vodka + Orange juice Drinking glass Careful when putting on tables, drag and drop to table to set it down.
Vodka Gimlet Vodka + Lime juice Cocktail glass Garnished with a slice of lime.
Bloody Mary Vodka + Tomato Juice + Ice Drinking glass Serve over ice, garnished with celery.
Vodka Martini Vodka + Vermouth Cocktail glass Garnished with olive.

Of course this guide is just a list of things you could do, be creative serve in different glasses and add different decorations to your liking.

Extra tips and tricks

How much do fluids of X do i need for Y glass?

If you're making drinks in glasses, you'll have to do some quick math with basic recipes on how much you'll need to fill the glass. A good trick here is to actually just use the shaker, which far exceeds the amount a normal glass can contain. It's never a problem to make too much of a drink in the shaker, as you can easily remove any excess you have left over after transferring it into a glass!

Transferring fluids quickly

While creating drinks in your cocktail shaker can be classy, transferring the contents might be a bit slow. Click drag from any fluid container to another to quickly transfer all the contents! Amaze your clients even more by serving them the drink by placing an empty glass on the table and transferring it afterwards.

Removing fluids quickly

Say you have a glass or other container you need emptying quickly? Have no fear! If you have one of NanoTrasens state-of-the-art Drains™ in your bar which seem to magically suck all liquids up and nobody has any idea where it goes, you can quickly click on the drain with your selected container and see all its contents disappear! Like a little magic trick.

Botany is your best friend

Hopefully you have a somewhat competent team of botanists on the station which arent completely stoned at the start of your shift and if you ask they could even send you some lovely fruits your way to make wedges and drinks of!
