Search for the recipe of a 'Margarita'.

I've found the Margarita recipe. It requires Tequila, Triple Sec, and Lime Juice. I have the full step-by-step instructions and a high-quality image of the final drink. Ready to start mixing?

What drinks can I make with 'Vodka'?

Searching for Vodka-based drinks... I've found several popular options including the 'Moscow Mule', 'White Russian', and 'Cosmopolitan'. Would you like the recipe for any of these?

Suggest a random cocktail for tonight.

How about a 'Negroni'? It's a classic bitter-sweet drink made with Gin, Campari, and Sweet Vermouth. I can give you the exact proportions if you're interested.

Yes! Use the `filter_by_ingredient` tool with 'Gin'. It will return a list of all cocktails in the database that include Gin as one of their primary components.
