{{Infobox cocktail}} displays a highly configurable, user-friendly table of information concerning mixed drinks, cocktails, garnishes, and drinkware in the upper right of each related article. It should be present on articles concerning notable alcoholic and non-alcoholic mixed drinks, including cocktails, as well as cocktail garnishes and drinkware. By providing readers a consistent table of similar information within all the page concerning these topics, they will be able to locate the pertinent information quickly and easily, without having to read through the entire article. {{Infobox cocktail}} is extremely complex and very powerful. When used correctly (and it's much easier to use than the previous sentence made it sound), the infobox does much more than provide snippets of information. It also:
To get started with a mixed drink article, copy the Basic template below and paste it into the article. If you are editing a type of drinkware or a cocktail garnish, use the other appropriate template instead. The template with all the options is primarily for reference. At a minimum, you will need to replace the NAME in the template with the actual name of the article's subject, and also the ALCOHOLTYPE with a valid type of alcohol (like gin or vodka). Preview the page, and you should see something similar to the examples below.
Do not subst: this template, or the page will become filled with information that will make it very hard for anyone to edit the article.
Place the following text near the top of the page, usually right after the first paragraph and before the first heading is a good choice.
Basic template options | All template options |

Use the following template options replacing ALCOHOLTYPE with one of the primary alcohol options.

Several cocktails are specially designated by the International Bartender Association (IBA) and are used in the annual World Cocktail Competition (WCC). These mixed drinks are some of the most well-known and popular drinks throughout the world. Such a drink is referred to as an IBA Official Cocktail.
Always identify any IBA Official Cocktails: | iba = yes
Mixed drinks vary quite a bit in how they are prepared. This can result in quite a bit of disagreement between editors as to the "correct" ingredients and their proportions.
Whenever possible one of the following sources should be used for creating the ingredient list (see below).
IBA Official Cocktails should always use the IBA standard recipes. This option is redundant ifiba=yes
is set above: | source = iba
| source = drinkboy
| source = url
| source =
If you entered a source above, you should also enter the link
For IBA Official Cocktails, see the instructions for {{IBA recipe}} to obtain the link name: | sourcelink = DRINKNAME
| sourcelink = ###
| sourcelink = http://www.example.net
| sourcelink =
This is the name of the mixed drink, cocktail garnish, or drinkware to which you are adding the infobox.
Always provide the name of the subject (enter on a single line without links):
| name = NAME
If there is a decent photo available, please include its name here. You should not include the word "file:" or the size of the image. If you have a choice of photos, please try to pick the one that is most representative of the subject. For drinks, that would be a photo showing the drink properly prepared, with the standard garnishes, in the standard drinkware for the type of beverage. For drinkware, it should be a fairly plain and standard version of the vessel, without much decoration or ornamentation, and preferably no brand names or logos visible. For garnishes, pictures that show how the item is used as a mixed drink are best, but a good close-up is also perfectly acceptable.
If there is a good image available, please include its filename:
| image = example.jpg
Captions only appear if an image is specified. The caption should ideally point out some of the reasons why the image is truly representative of the subject. If there is something non-standard about the photo (like a drink served in the wrong type of glass), it may be good to point that out, too.
If displaying a picture, provide a detailed description (may be multiple lines):
| caption = Green Fizz cocktails are easily identified by their fluorescent green tint.
Certain drinks, like eggnog, which are commonly served both with and without alcohol, and do not fit nicely in more specific categories should be identified as mixed, but they are the exceptions.
If the primary alcohol is a type of beer that is mixed with lesser amounts of other alcohols or mixers:
(see Category:Cocktails with beer)
| type = beer
If the primary alcohol is a type of distilled spirit (gin, rum, tequila, vodka, whiskey, etc.) that is mixed with lesser amounts of other alcohols or mixers:
(see Category:Cocktails)
| type = cocktail
If the primary alcohol is a type of distilled spirit (gin, rum, tequila, vodka, whiskey, etc.) that is mixed with a larger amount of non-alcoholic mixer:
| type = highball
If the cocktail is primarily served as a shooter (in other words, it would be very odd to see it served in anything other than a shot glass):
(see Category:Shooters (drinks))
| type = [[Shooter (drink)|shooter]]
If the cocktail is a layered shooter (a shooter in which the various alcohols are layered one on top of the other):
| type = layered
If the primary alcohol is a type of wine (including Champagne and fortified wines) that is mixed with lesser amounts of other alcohols or mixers:
(see Category:Cocktails with wine)
| type = [[Wine cocktail|wine]]
Mixed drinks that normally do not contain any alcohol:
(see Category:Non-alcoholic mixed drinks)
| type = [[Non-alcoholic mixed drink|nonalc]]
or, if you prefer:
| type = [[Non-alcoholic mixed drink|non-alcoholic]]
Any other type of mixed drink that does not fit into one of the preceding types, should be labeled:
(see Category:Mixed drinks)
| type = [[Mixed drink|mixed]]
Drinkware, such as drinking glasses, stemware, steins, drinking horns, etc., should be identified:
(see Category:Drinkware)
| type = [[drinkware]]
Finally, cocktail garnishes (usually the non-food types) should be identified:
(see Category:Cocktail garnishes)
| type = [[Cocktail garnish|garnish]]
Some mixed drinks are made with high-proof alcohol that is ignited prior to serving. These "flaming beverages" are generally a type of cocktail or shooter. If the article discusses serving the drink on fire, either normally or as a variation, note this by setting this attribute.
Served on fire regularly or as a variation:
| flaming = yes
While you may include the list of all possible alcohol type attributes, it is usually best to remove the attributes that do not apply to save storage space and improve processing speed.
Substitute the word ALCOHOLTYPE in this example:
| ALCOHOLTYPE = yes
with one of the following types of alcohol:

You may also specify any other type of alcohol ("build your own"):
| other = [[Amaro (drink)|Amaro]]
You may refer to the article itself (or any other text):
| other = See the article for details
This attribute explains how the drink is typically served. If the drink is served in a variety of ways, you may leave this attribute blank or write your own brief description.
Blended with ice ("frozen" style):
| served = blended
"On the rocks"; poured over ice:
| served = rocks
"Straight up"; without ice:
| served = straight
"Neat"; undiluted and without ice:
| served = neat
Write your own description (may be multiple lines):
| served = Commonly served two ways:
* "On the rocks"; poured over ice
* Blended with ice ("frozen" style)
Cocktail garnishes are considered optional by some, and some bartenders and patrons have unconventional ways of garnishing their drinks. However, if there is a standard way of garnishing the drink (as is the case with IBA Official Cocktails), then briefly list standard garnishes, linking where it makes sense.
Write your own description (may be multiple lines):| garnish = {{frac|1|2}} [[orange (fruit)|orange]] slice and [[maraschino cherry]]
As with garnishes, the standard type of drinkware (drinking glass, beer stein, etc.) varies from place to place, but there is usually one type of glass that is standard for any particular drink.
This section may be updated in the near future for increased flexibility, such as the possibility of adding multiple types of drinkware (for example, margaritas are commonly served in tumblers, welled margarita glasses, and margarita saucers). Other plans include providing standard measurements for the drinkware. So, for now, please pick only one type of drinkware from the list below, whichever seems most common or proper for the drink.
Substitute the word TYPE in this example: | drinkware = TYPE
with one of the following types of drinkware:
Beer cocktails often call for both a pint (or pub) glass and a shot glass:
| drinkware = pintshot
| drinkware = pubshot
You could also write your own description, but due to planned changes in how this attribute works, it is not recommended:
| drinkware = See the article for details
{{Plainlist}}
or {{Unbulleted list}}

parameters for proper attribution).|footnotes=
(or less desirably in |notes=

are used for something else); however, no more than one or two such variations should be mentioned there. Use the main article to list less common variations.Write your own description (unbulleted lists are preferred; see templates mentioned above for this):
| ingredients = Please keep instructions very brief. Use IBA official ingredients if available.
Write your own description (may be multiple lines):
| prep = Please keep instructions very brief. Use IBA official instructions if available.
Indicate the conventional time at which the drink is generally consumed. Typical values are Before dinner, After dinner, and All day
|timing = Convention dictates the time at which certain drinks should be consumed.
Drinks should rarely, if ever use this attribute (just put the notes directly in the article).
Since most of the rest of the infobox is concerned with drinks, this attribute is a free-form place to note anything important concerning drinkware or garnishes.
Write your own description (may be multiple lines):
| notes = Notes are primarily for drinkware and garnishes
Footnotes are printed in very small text, and are most useful for minor notes or clarifications of other information mentioned in the infobox.
Write your own description (may be multiple lines):
| footnotes = Footnotes should generally be avoided
