FAQ

Questions TheCocktailDB owners ask.

  • 01

    Can I search for cocktails that only contain a specific ingredient like Gin?

    Yes! Use the filter_by_ingredient capability with 'Gin'. It will return a list of all cocktails in the database that include Gin as one of their primary components.

  • 02

    How do I get the full instructions and image for a specific drink?

    First, find the drink ID using search_cocktail_by_name. Then, use the get_cocktail_details capability with that ID to retrieve the high-res image URL, full ingredient list, and step-by-step instructions.

  • 03

    Does the integration provide non-alcoholic drink options?

    Absolutely. You can use the list_alcoholic_filters capability to see available filters, and then use filter_by_category or specific search queries to identify 'Non_Alcoholic' drinks.
