Cocktails, ingredients, glasses & garnishes

The core of the Cocktail Manager: your bar's master data. All four are managed under Manage → … using the same pattern (list + form).

Cocktail recipes

A recipe consists of basics (name, description, tags, price, glass, ice), an image, multiple steps (each step has an action and ingredients with amount + unit), and optional garnishes.

  • While typing the name, the manager warns you about similar existing cocktails.
  • Ingredient and step order can be rearranged via drag & drop.

Cocktail management

Ingredients

Ingredients have a name, short name, price, units/volumes, and an optional image. Through units (e.g. CL, PIECE) and conversions, the manager converts amounts automatically.

Glasses & garnishes

Glasses (with deposit & volume) and garnishes (with price) are lightweight master data with an optional image. A glass cannot be deleted while it is still used in cocktails — the manager shows you where.

Images in the API

The REST API never returns images as Base64; instead it uses hasImage + imageUrl (a bytes endpoint). Details in the API Reference.
