How the Random Drink Generator Works

Hit the generate button and you'll instantly get a drink recipe — with a full ingredient list, step-by-step mixing instructions, and the glassware you'll need. Not feeling that one? Hit generate again for something completely different.

Before you generate, you can use the filters to narrow the results. Use the spirit type filter to get gin cocktails, rum drinks, vodka mixes, whiskey cocktails, or any other spirit — the generator will only pick from drinks built around what you've selected. Toggle the alcohol content filter to stick to non-alcoholic mocktails, or set it to Low, Medium, or High depending on what you want. Filter by difficulty — Easy, Medium, or Hard — based on your skill level and what equipment you have. There's also a cost filter if you want to keep things within a budget. The generator only shows recipes that match what you've set, so every result is genuinely useful.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a random drink generator?

A random drink generator is a free tool that instantly selects a cocktail or mocktail recipe for you at random. Instead of spending time scrolling through drink lists, you hit a button and get a complete recipe — with ingredients, instructions, and glassware included. Ours draws from 100+ recipes across every spirit type so the results are always different and genuinely useful.

Is this random drink generator free?

Yes, completely free. No account, no signup, no payment — just hit generate and you get a full drink recipe instantly.

How is this different from other random drink generators?

Most random drink generators just return a drink name — like 'Margarita' — with no instructions. Ours gives you a complete recipe: ingredients with exact quantities, step-by-step mixing instructions, recommended glassware, ABV, and cost per serving. You can make the drink directly from what the generator returns.

Can I get non-alcoholic drink ideas?

Yes. The generator includes a full range of mocktails and non-alcoholic drinks alongside cocktails. Use the alcohol content filter and select Non-alcoholic before generating — you'll only see alcohol-free results.

Can I filter by spirit type — gin, rum, vodka, whiskey?

Yes. Open the filters panel and select one or more spirits from the Spirit Type list. Options include Vodka, Rum, Gin, Whiskey, Scotch, Tequila, and Champagne. The generator will only draw from drinks built around those spirits. You can combine spirit type with the difficulty or cost filter to narrow things down further — for example, gin cocktails only, or easy rum drinks under $10.

Can I filter by how easy the drink is to make?

Yes. The difficulty filter lets you narrow results to Easy, Medium, or Hard. If you're new to mixing drinks or just want something quick, set it to Easy and every result will be a recipe you can make without specialist skills or equipment.

Are there mocktail options for kids or pregnancy?

Yes. Set the alcohol content filter to Non-alcoholic before generating and every result will be completely free of alcohol — covering mocktails, alcohol-free alternatives, and virgin versions of classic drinks.

Can I find drinks within a budget?

Yes. There's a cost filter you can set before generating, so you only see drinks that fall within your price range. Useful if you're making drinks at home and don't want to buy a long list of expensive ingredients.

Do I need a cocktail shaker?

Not always. Each recipe includes a full equipment list so you'll know upfront what's required. Many drinks — especially stirred cocktails, mocktails, and built drinks — don't need a shaker at all. For ones that do, we list alternatives where possible.
