Google has added a feature on its search engine that will help users make cocktails.

While Google Search will not be mixing users a drink after a hard day's work, it is now able to display recipes for cocktails right on the search results page, which will be saving users from having to click through different webpages to get the cocktail recipe that they need.

The Google Search cocktail feature works with all kinds of drinks and can be used on an Internet browser or through the Google app for both Android and iOS devices.

Whenever a user searches for a drink, whether by typing it into the search box or using the microphone for a voice query, search results would display information such as a description of the drink, how to make it, and even a little bit of the cocktail's history.

Also included in the information displayed by the cocktail search feature are the kinds of glasses where the drink should be poured to serve and traditional garnishing for the drink.

According to Google, the information regarding the many kinds of cocktails were put together from many sources for accurate recipes that will create the best-tasting drinks for the user.

The feature has many uses, such as when the user is at home and wants to know how to mix a specific kind of drink, or when the user is at the bar and wants to try a new drink but is too shy to ask what are the ingredients of a specific cocktail.

The cocktail feature represents the latest development of the company's Knowledge Graph, which Google launched back in May 2012. The system increases the accessibility of the search results returned by certain queries.

Google has recently been making more developments on its Knowledge Graph, adding features such as information on common sicknesses and lyrics for searched songs.

Knowledge Graph makes the results page of Google Search a destination by itself, instead of making the user have to click on links away from Google to get the information that they need.

Google has been monitoring the search queries going through its search engine in its mission to help its users find all the information that they need in the easiest way. Google has been looking at what kind of search queries are getting the most hits and is then developing improvements in its search engine to make those kinds of search queries more accessible for users.

With this new development, it seems that Google users are always searching for information related to cocktails.
