cocktails
find_cocktails_by_ingredient
Find every cocktail in the catalogue that uses one specific ingredient. Matching is a case- and diacritic-insensitive substring match against each cocktail's ingredient names, so "gin" will also match "sloe gin" and "ginger beer" — use a more specific term if that matters. Returns up to 60 summary results (name, URL, family, glassware) in catalogue order. Takes one ingredient only; for "what can I make from X, Y, and Z?" use find_makeable_cocktails instead, which handles multiple ingredients and reports near-misses.
find_cocktails_in_movie
Find every cocktail that appears in a given film or TV show. Case- and diacritic-insensitive substring match against both the title and the scene description, so a character or actor works too — e.g. "Casablanca", "Bond", "Hemingway". Each result names the cocktail, the film/show title, the year, and the scene. Returns up to 60 appearances ordered oldest year first, then by cocktail name. A single cocktail can appear multiple times if it shows up in multiple scenes that match. Use this only for on-screen appearances; for a drink by name use search_cocktails, and to browse the whole catalogue use list_cocktails.
list_cocktails
List the whole catalogue: every cocktail as a summary (name, page URL, family, glassware), in catalogue order, optionally restricted to one drink family. Unlike search_cocktails and find_cocktails_by_ingredient — which cap their results and need a query — this takes no query and returns every matching cocktail, so use it to browse or enumerate the full set of 500 drinks (or a whole family) when there is nothing specific to search for. For one named drink use get_cocktail_recipe; to discover by ingredient use find_cocktails_by_ingredient.
search_cocktails
Search the cocktail catalogue by name (substring, case- and diacritic-insensitive, so "carre" matches "Carré"). Returns up to 25 summary results — name, page URL, family, glassware — ranked exact match first, then prefix, then suffix, then any substring. Use this when the user names a drink (even fuzzily) and you want to confirm it exists or disambiguate similar names; once you have a single name, call get_cocktail_recipe for the full recipe. For ingredient-based discovery use find_cocktails_by_ingredient instead.
cocktail
get_cocktail_recipe
Get the full recipe for one cocktail by name: ingredients with measures and units, preparation steps, garnish, glassware, family, page URL, and any film or TV appearances. Matching is case- and diacritic-insensitive: it tries an exact name match first, then falls back to the first substring match. Returns one cocktail object, or an { error } if nothing matches. Use this when you have a specific drink name; if the name is ambiguous or you want a list, call search_cocktails first.
makeable
find_makeable_cocktails
Given the ingredients you have on hand, find every cocktail you can make completely — one where you already have all of its ingredients. Garnishes are treated as optional and plain water is assumed available; soda and tonic water are not. Matching is word-based, not substring: "gin" matches "London dry gin" but not "ginger beer", and generic terms do not match product-class extras ("gin" will not cover "sloe gin" or "orange bitters"). Returns two lists: "makeable" (drinks you can make now, up to 60) and "almostMakeable" (drinks exactly one ingredient short, up to 25, each naming the missing ingredient). Drinks needing two or more extra ingredients are omitted entirely. Both lists are ordered simplest first — fewest distinct ingredients in the full recipe, then alphabetical by name. Use this for multi-ingredient "what can I make?" questions; for a single ingredient use find_cocktails_by_ingredient.
random
random_cocktail
Suggest one cocktail picked uniformly at random from the catalogue (or from one family if "family" is given) and return its full recipe — ingredients with measures, preparation steps, garnish, glassware, page URL, and any film or TV appearances. Each call returns an independent draw, so repeated calls give different drinks. The "family" filter matches the family name exactly (case- and diacritic-insensitive); if no cocktail matches that family the call silently falls back to the full catalogue rather than erroring. Use this only when the user wants a suggestion or inspiration with no specific drink in mind. For a named cocktail use get_cocktail_recipe; for "anything with gin" use find_cocktails_by_ingredient; for "what can I make from what I have" use find_makeable_cocktails.

Cocktail Glass — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Cocktail Glass do?
It exposes 7 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: find_cocktails_by_ingredient, find_cocktails_in_movie, find_makeable_cocktails, get_cocktail_recipe, list_cocktails, random_cocktail and 1 more. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
Is Cocktail Glass working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 139 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Cocktail Glass?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does Cocktail Glass need an API key?
No. Cocktail Glass completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 7 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Cocktail Glass?
It answers our handshake in 139 ms on average, which is faster than 76% of all working MCP servers we measure. That puts it in the quick quarter of the ecosystem. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
