The Mixology Skill unlocks brand new drink recipes, and is required to advance in the Culinary Career. For a complete list of Food Recipes, see our Cooking Skill and Food Recipe List Guide.
Learning the Mixology Skill
All (adult) Sims are able to make drinks at the bar. Once you use the “Make Drink” interaction, your Sim will automatically advance to level 1 of the Mixology Skill. Sims can learn the Mixology skill by using a bar, or by reading the Mixology skill books. Sims can even use the town’s local bar to raise this skill.
As Sims continue to gradually raise their Mixology Skill, they will unlock brand new performance interactions and drink recipes. The easiest way to level up this skill is by reading up on Mixology through the skill books.
