The occasion is [OCCASION:select:casual evening at home,dinner party,date night,brunch,celebration,summer or warm weather,winter or cold weather,just experimenting]. I want something [STYLE:select:classic and timeless,trendy and modern,tropical and fruity,simple with few ingredients,impressive but not too complicated]. If you want a specific vibe or inspiration: [INSPIRATION?] Create 3 cocktail options ranging from simple to more elaborate. For each one, include the complete recipe with exact measurements, the technique like shaking or stirring, the proper glass to use, garnish suggestions, and flavor notes describing what to expect. Suggest non-alcoholic swaps for any of these drinks if someone wants a mocktail version. Include tips for getting the technique right. If I am missing a key ingredient, suggest alternatives.

Get Early AccessYou have a bottle of rum, some lime juice, and a vague desire for something better than rum and coke. But scrolling through cocktail sites means wading through life stories before finding a recipe. And most recipes assume you have a fully stocked bar with obscure bitters and artisanal syrups.
This prompt works with what you actually have. List your available [SPIRITS], describe your [TASTE] preferences, and specify the [OCCASION] so the AI creates three cocktail options ranging from simple to more involved. Each recipe includes exact measurements, proper technique, glass suggestions, garnish ideas, and flavor notes so you know what to expect before you shake anything.
It also suggests non-alcoholic versions of each drink for guests who prefer mocktails. Missing a key ingredient? It recommends substitutions instead of sending you to the store. The recipes adapt to your skill level, from basic two-ingredient builds to more ambitious creations. Use it in the Dock Editor to build your own cocktail recipe book over time.

In [SPIRITS], list every bottle you have, even if it is just one. Be specific: "Maker's Mark bourbon" works better than "whiskey." Add your mixers in [MIXERS] including juices, sodas, syrups, and fresh fruit.
Select your [TASTE] preference and [OCCASION]. A "sweet" drink for a "summer gathering" gets a very different result than "bitter" for a "date night." The AI matches the drink's complexity to the occasion.
Pick a [STYLE] that matches your confidence level. "Simple with few ingredients" keeps it to 3-4 components. "Impressive but not too complicated" adds a technique or presentation element without requiring bar school.
Use [INSPIRATION] for any flavor direction you have in mind: "something like a mojito but with bourbon" or "tropical but not too sweet." Leave it blank for a fully AI-chosen recommendation.
Compare the simple, moderate, and elaborate options. Start with the simplest one to test. Each recipe lists exact measurements, so follow them the first time before adjusting to your taste.
Create a signature cocktail menu for dinner parties or gatherings using ingredients you already own. Impress guests without a trip to a specialty store.
Learn proper technique with clear instructions on shaking, stirring, muddling, and building drinks. Each recipe explains the "why" behind the method.
Get creative with a limited bar. One spirit and a few basic mixers can produce surprisingly good drinks when you know the right combinations.
