The app takes ingredients you have on hand, generates creative cocktail recipes, and teaches you step by step how to prepare them—complete with substitutions and educational notes. </p> <p>👉 <strong>Live Demo</strong>: <a href="https://galogue123-lab.github.io/ai-bartender-contest/simple_bartender(1).html" rel="noopener noreferrer">AI Bartender Teacher</a><br><br> 👉 <strong>Source Code</strong>: <a href="https://github.com/YOUR-REPO" rel="noopener noreferrer">GitHub Repository</a> </p> <h2> How We Used Google AI Studio </h2> <p>The innovation lies in <strong>prompt engineering with Gemini</strong>. Instead of free-form text, we required Gemini to return structured <strong>JSON objects</strong> with predictable fields. This allows our appUpload to render recipes consistently and highlight learning opportunities. </p> <div class="highlight js-code-highlight"> <pre class="highlight plaintext"><code> json { "cocktail_name": "Forest Whisper", "ingredients": [ {"name": "Whiskey", "amount": "2 oz"}, {"name": "Honey Syrup", "amount": "0.5 oz"}, {"name": "Lemon Juice", "amount": "0.75 oz"} ], "alternatives": { "whiskey": "Canadian Rye or Bourbon", "honey syrup": "Maple Syrup" }, "steps": [ {"step_number": 1, "instruction": "Shake all ingredients with ice"}, {"step_number": 2, "instruction": "Double strain into chilled coupe glass"}, {"step_number": 3, "instruction": "Express lemon twist oils and garnish"} ], "educational_notes": "This recipe demonstrates balancing sweetness and acidity using classic ratios." } </code></pre> </div> googleaistudio ai education cocktails
