Making Cocktails with the Drink Mixer
The Drink Mixer is the station for preparing Cocktails. Place it on a solid surface and interact with it to mix drinks from gathered ingredients.
Setting Up the Station
Put the Drink Mixer on a Mahogany Boardwalk or Palm Boardwalk counter. Keep a Bamboo Chest beside it stocked with ingredients. A Bamboo Mug is the drinking vessel — craft several so you can serve multiple drinks without stopping.
Mixing Drinks
Right-click the Drink Mixer with ingredients in hand to combine them into a Cocktail. The exact ingredient list depends on the recipe you are following, but the mixer is the only station that produces Cocktails. Without it, ingredients stay separate.
Serving Area
Build a bar using Mahogany Slab or Palm Slab as a countertop. Add Mahogany Stairs or Palm Stairs for bar stools. Place Bamboo Flower Pot decorations along the counter. A Bamboo Sign marks the bar.
Pairing with Food
Cooked Fish, Cooked Frog Leg, and Cooked Ray make good bar snacks. Cook them on a campfire or smoker near the Drink Mixer so everything is within reach. Dried Plantains are another snack option to keep on the counter.
Beach Bar Layout
Combine the Drink Mixer, a Bamboo Chest, and seating on a boardwalk deck. Add a Medium Bongo Drum or Large Bongo Drum for atmosphere. This gives you a complete social area for multiplayer bases.
