What This Skill Does

The cocktail-advisor skill serves as your personal mixology expert within the OpenClaw AI ecosystem. Designed to simplify the art of home bartending, this skill interprets user constraints—ranging from specific ingredients currently in the pantry to abstract flavor preferences like 'refreshing' or 'spirit-forward.' By leveraging an extensive built-in knowledge base of the six classic base spirits (Tequila, Rum, Gin, Vodka, Whiskey, and Brandy), the advisor calculates precise ingredient ratios, provides step-by-step preparation instructions, and explains the rationale behind each recommendation. Whether you are hosting a formal party, looking for a simple nightcap, or trying to invent a drink based on random fruits and juices, this skill acts as a bridge between your supplies and a professional-grade cocktail.

Installation

To add this skill to your OpenClaw agent, run the following command in your terminal: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/billxfan/cocktail-advisor

Use Cases

• Inventory Utilization: You have a random assortment of items like leftover limes, a bottle of gin, and some ginger beer. The skill identifies the perfect recipe to maximize your available resources.
• Flavor Profiling: You want to explore new profiles. By telling the agent you prefer 'tart' or 'herbal' notes, the AI filters through its database to suggest high-probability matches that suit your palate.
• Event Planning: Need a batch recipe for a dinner party or a low-alcohol option for a casual afternoon brunch? The advisor recommends drinks specifically suited for your drinking environment.
• Skill Improvement: Learn the fundamental 'families' of cocktails (like Sour, Spritz, or Collins) and understand how simple ratios can unlock thousands of variations.

Example Prompts

1. "I have some white rum, fresh limes, and sugar syrup. What can I make right now?"
2. "I'm hosting a party tonight and need something light, fruity, and easy to mix in large quantities."
3. "Recommend two cocktails based on gin: one that is very sour and one that is more herbal and spirit-forward."

Tips & Limitations

• Precision: While the AI is trained on standard mixology ratios, always taste as you go. Personal palate adjustments are encouraged.
• Substitutions: If you lack a specific liqueur, use the 'knowledge-base' logic to identify similar substitutes or ask the agent for alternatives based on flavor profiles.
• Safety: This skill is for informational purposes for legal-age adults. Always drink responsibly and never operate machinery after alcohol consumption.
• Database Scope: While the skill includes a core library of classics, complex or highly obscure ingredients may require the skill to perform a web search to provide a reliable recipe.
