Drink List, Snaggle Fuster, Effects, and Bartending
Bartending in the Sims 4
The Sims 4's Mixology Skill lets your Sim make a variety of Drinks. This Guide will highlight the Skill's unlocks and what some of the Drinks do for your Sim. Most of them do the same thing - give a Happy Moodlet. However, a couple of them are quite special and helpful - particularly Snaggle Fuster. Overall, leveling Mixology will help you to level other Skills thanks to its emotion-specific drinks.
How to: Mixology Cheats Press Control + Shift + C then type testingcheats on and press enter. You can now set your skill level with stats.set_skill_level major_bartending x (fill in 1-10) - we also have a full listing of Skill Cheats and a master list of Cheats in The Sims 4
A guide to getting and using Snaggle Fluster in The Sims 4. This mixology recipe is one of the rarest abilities in the game, because getting it is an extremely specific process and Mixology is not a super commonly-used ability.
Getting Started You can purchase a Bar from Buy Mode > Sort by Room > Kitchen or read a Skill Book to begin learning to be a Bartender. You may also head to the Night Club in Willow Creek and use the Bar there. Tending Bar will give you experience very slowly compared to making Drinks on your own, and you won't earn much money doing so. Drinks can be sold from the inventory for a profit, substantial enough to earn a living. At level 6, you can stop making drinks repeatedly to level the Skill and instead focus on Practicing Bar Tricks. This will give you much faster Skill Experience.
Mixology as a Career and Moneymaker Mixology drinks can be dragged to the Sim's inventory and sold for a profit at higher level. At first, they will sell for less than the cost to make them. You'll earn more as your level rises, and drink values can be influenced by the Marketable trait. So, the skill can stand alone as a money-maker. Thanks to SWolfie on our forum for making me aware of this.
In order to get the most out of this Skill, you may want to take on the Culinary Career and take the Mixologist branch. Additionally, you'll want to take the Master Mixologist Aspiration. Unfortunately the Career is one of the lowest paying in the game, however it gives the opportunity to make Snaggle Fuster (read more below) so it's worth trying to get.
Completing Master Mixologist will give you the ability to give Sims any of the positive Emotions for 4h at the cost of $1000 a pop. They can be great once your Sim is rich, but you'll need to search for other means of making money in your Household to get to that point. The Tricks are kind of entertaining to watch, as Sims learn and make mistakes only to eventually nail them, but it's a Skill that feels like a missed opportunity.
The Bottle Stack Trick - that deserves a Tip, but won't get you one
Mixology Skill Unlocks Leveling up Mixology primarily unlocks new Drink Recipes, but does offer some special unlocks as your Sim progresses. The quality of drinks will rise, and along with levels, result in you earning more from drinks you make. Here are the various tricks, socials, and special abilities that becoming a better bartender will give to your Sim:

Sims learn Tricks as they level Mixology and become better Bartenders
Level 2 - Behind the Back Trick, Talk About Drink Making
Level 5 - Mixing a Drink gives your Bartender the Talented Tender Moodlet (4h +1 Confident)
Level 6 - Can Practice Bar Tricks, allowing your Sim to get Inspired on demand
Level 7 - Bottle Stack Trick, Drinks give stronger Moodlets (seems a more reliable +2 Happy)
Level 8 - Can Share Mixology Secrets with other Sims
Level 9 - Bottle Fireball Trick
Level 10 - Can Freshen Drinks (resetting spoil timer) and gets the Mix Master Moodlet after making Drinks
Snaggle Fuster Snaggle Fuster is a special drink that was brought to my attention by Playalot on our Forum. DarkWalker explained that this drink comes from an Opportunity that comes in the Mixology Career, possibly only at Level 9. When you get the opportunity Mythical Drink Guide, buy the guide and sometimes it will provide you the Recipe. Being confident may help it be more likely the recipe than a scam (random outcome). You should stay in that job until this opportunity comes up and with the right outcome if you want to be able to make this powerful drink. It gives a 3h moodlet that lets Sims learn Skills super fast - as in, many times faster than usual. It's well worth the wait, so avoid finishing the promotion requirements for level 10 Mixology Career if you want it. This Drink costs only $50 to make, and turns the skill into a truly potent ally for Sims gaining levels in other skills. You can make many and carry them around to drink when skilling.
Mixology Drinks List
Drinks look appealing, though they do little for Sims
Here's the full list of Drink Recipes available to Sims, along with the huge costs. Basically, once you're a level 10 Mixologist, if you want your Sim to get the Moodlet from drinking (which is typically +1/2 Happy) then you should simply make something like Juice on the Rocks. All in all, it's kind of realistic as far as drinking goes - the same effect, no matter the drink.
Sell Drinks by dragging them from the bar to the sell icon in your Sim's inventory. You can actually sell them after your Sim has finished drinking it, as well. Values listed are the highest possible on most, with level 10 bartending and the best bar to boost quality. Taking the Marketable Reward will further boost these values.

It's likely a play on their old gag from previous games "Love Potion #8.5" which IS a spoof on "Love Potion #9" (The song, the movie, or both... who can say?)
Uh, sea of fire is not exclusive to up all night- i don't have any expansion packs (except i have limited-edition and the holiday stuff), but my sim can still make the sea of fire drink
I've noticed that drinks my sims make no longer show the quality, name of drink, etc when I hover over them. Is that a bug or do drinks no longer have different qualities?
Could also be some outdated CC or a Mod that needs updating. I play with CC in one save folder and I have the same issue. In my CC clear folder I do not.
I have a drink called "Luna Special" showing up. Any information? It didn't show up until after mastering the skill but it says it was available since level 5.
Admin: I take it Luna is the name of your sim, so this is her signature drink that unlocks at L6 of the Culinary career, Mixology branch.
Under "Mixology as a Career and Moneymaker," the guide says, "Mixology drinks can be dragged to the Sim's inventory and sold for a profit at higher level... You'll earn more as your level rises, and drink values can be influenced by the Marketable trait." Do you mean the Marketable Reward? I don't know of a Marketable trait.But then, under "Sell Drinks," the guide says "Values listed are the highest possible on most, with level 10 bartending and the best bar to boost quality. Taking the Marketable Reward will NOT boost these values."These two paragraphs seem to be saying opposite things. Does the Marketable reward help with drink value or not? Thanks.
Good point. The answer is I don't know right now as I'd have to go test this in-game. My hunch is that the Marketable Reward Trait does not influence the price of mixology drinks when you sell them but quality and higher levels of the skill will. This guide was initially written in 2014 when the game first launched and as you can imagine a lot has changed since then. That being said... we'll get onto correcting this asap.
Agree. I was one of the first people to discover the snagglefluster back when it was base game. It was infinitely useful. Every single household that I played had at least one mixologist!
In my opinion, the list is not complete, as stated in the guide. There are drinks related to other skills missing. Well, at least one: the Protein Shake. You mention it in the Fitness skill guide - but noh here.
There are a few drinks relating to other skills not mentioned specifically in this guide, like the Vigorator etc, however these are all the main ones that your sim will encounter while trying to level up mixology. Mentioning all the drinks that Get Together introduced would also not really be that useful.
As the guide says: When you get the opportunity Mythical Drink Guide, buy the guide and sometimes it will provide you the Recipe. So Carl has explained that Snaggle Fluster is a special work opportunity that requires a)to be a positive outcome and b)the purchase of a recipe.
Andi, a 'work opportunity' is a text pop-up event that occurs when a sim is in a career. Often it involves taking a chance as you won't always know the outcome as these various outcomes are often RNG generated. In the case of the Snaggle Fluster work opportunity your sim needs to be in the Culinary Career, Mixology Branch at Level 9 of the career but with level 10 mixology skill. This Forum post from 2014 when The Sims 4 first launched explains about the drink and how to get it. Now note, this is a four year old forum post and as The Sims 4 is a Live Service, everything in that post may not be 100% accurate, but it's close enough that it will give you some more background info on this mixology drink.
Thanks! I actually took a week in game of work to avoid promotion while I waited for a reply and the very next day I went back I got it! When I bought it, it appeared in drinks I could make without having to read it or anything. Very helpful; much appreciated.
Level 9 Mixology Career Question. Is Liquid Gold the opportunity where you get the Mythical Drink Guide? Not a lot of information online regarding opportunities and outcomes so I'm wondering do you get this Special drink by completing the Liquid Gold Opportunity. Thx in advance I just got to lvl 9 in that Career.
