A random cocktail generator picks a drink recipe for you, so you can try something new instead of making the same drink every time.
Muxgen's Random Cocktail Generator includes 75 full recipes: 63 cocktails and 12 mocktails. Each one lists measured ingredients, how to make it, the glass, the garnish, and where the drink comes from.
Filter by base spirit, flavor, strength, and style, scale recipes for a crowd, or use What can I make? to match drinks to the bottles and mixers you already have. It runs in your browser with no sign-up.
Three steps to your next drink.
Choose cocktails or mocktails, a base spirit, flavor, strength, or style—or leave them on Any.
Get 1 to 12 random recipes with measured ingredients, steps, glass, garnish, and a short history.
Scale to 12 servings in oz or ml, add drinks to a party menu, or switch to What can I make? to use what's already in your bar.
Every control in the tool and what it does.
Generate random recipes, or find drinks you can make with the ingredients you have.
1 to 12 drinks per batch, never repeating within a batch.
Cocktails or mocktails, and gin, vodka, rum, tequila, whiskey, brandy, or wine and liqueurs.
Sour, sweet, fruity, bitter, herbal, creamy, or spicy and smoky.
Light to strong, and sours, highballs, spirit-forward, tiki, spritzes, creamy, or hot drinks.
Multiply every recipe by up to 12 and switch between ounces and milliliters.
Replace drinks you don't want and collect favorites into a menu.
Copy one recipe, every recipe in your results, or your whole party menu.

Six formulas behind most of the drinks in the generator.
2 oz spirit, ¾ to 1 oz fresh citrus, and ¾ oz syrup, shaken. Behind the Daiquiri, Margarita, Gimlet, and Whiskey Sour.
2 oz spirit, ¼ oz syrup, and 2 dashes of bitters, stirred. Swap the spirit to make a rum or tequila Old Fashioned.
The Negroni (gin, Campari, sweet vermouth) and the Last Word (four equal parts) are easy to remember and scale.
One part spirit to two or three parts mixer over plenty of ice: Gin and Tonic, Moscow Mule, Cuba Libre.
3 parts Prosecco, 2 parts Aperol, 1 part soda water—the classic Aperol Spritz formula.
2 oz whiskey, 1 oz sweet vermouth, and 2 dashes of bitters, stirred. A Rob Roy uses Scotch instead.
Master this once and you can make a Daiquiri, Margarita, Gimlet, or Whiskey Sour without a recipe.
The four ways the drinks in the generator are mixed.
| Method | What it means | Drinks | Examples |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shaken | Shake hard with ice for 10–15 seconds. Used for drinks with juice, cream, or egg white. | 29 | Tom Collins, Bramble, Pornstar Martini, Tommy's Margarita, and Pisco Sour |
| Stirred | Stir with ice for about 20–30 seconds. Keeps all-spirit drinks silky and clear. | 9 | Dry Martini, Oaxaca Old Fashioned, Manhattan, Sazerac, and Vieux Carré |
| Built in the glass | Pour straight into the serving glass over ice. Used for highballs and spritzes. | 35 | Gin and Tonic, Dark 'n' Stormy, Irish Coffee, Americano, and Arnold Palmer |
| Blended | Blend with ice until smooth for frozen drinks. | 2 | Piña Colada and Virgin Piña Colada |
What each Strength option means. Strength is a rough guide, not an exact alcohol percentage.
| Strength | What it means | Drinks | Examples |
|---|---|---|---|
| Alcohol-free | Mocktails with no alcohol at all. | 12 | Virgin Mojito, Virgin Mary, Cinderella, and Cucumber Cooler |
| Light | Long drinks and spritzes, topped with a mixer, juice, or sparkling wine. | 21 | Gin and Tonic, Screwdriver, Tequila Sunrise, Bellini, and Michelada |

With a 13-item starter kit (gin, vodka, white rum, tequila, bourbon or rye whiskey, triple sec or Cointreau, sweet vermouth, Angostura bitters, lime juice, lemon juice, tonic water, ginger beer, and cola), plus sugar and soda water, you can make 14 of the 75 drinks here.
Pick one spirit plus fresh limes, lemons, and sugar. That alone covers a Daiquiri, Gimlet, or Whiskey Sour.
Tonic, ginger beer, cola, and soda water open up highballs like the Moscow Mule and Gin and Tonic.
Triple sec or Cointreau unlocks the Margarita, Cosmopolitan, Sidecar, and Lemon Drop.
Sweet vermouth and Angostura bitters make Manhattans, Old Fashioneds, and Negronis possible.
Campari, coffee liqueur, maraschino, and green Chartreuse open up modern classics.
A shaker, a jigger (measuring cup), a bar spoon, a strainer, and plenty of fresh ice.
12 recipes that feel just as special, with zero alcohol.
1 oz lime juice, ¾ oz simple syrup, 8 mint leaves, and 4 oz soda water. All the freshness of a mojito with no rum. Also called a Nojito.
