<!-- EDIT TEMPLATE DOCUMENTATION BELOW THIS LINE -->
{{الگو|Infobox cocktail}} displays a highly configurable, user-friendly table of information concerning mixed drinks, cocktails, garnishes, and drinkware in the upper right of each related article. It should be present on articles concerning notable alcoholic and non-alcoholic mixed drinks, including cocktails, as well as cocktail garnishes and drinkware. By providing readers a consistent table of similar information within all the page concerning these topics, they will be able to locate the pertinent information quickly and easily, without having to read through the entire article.
{{الگو|Infobox cocktail}} is ''extremely'' complex and very powerful. When used correctly (and it's much easier to use than the previous sentence made it sound), the infobox does much more than provide snippets of information. It also:

* Clearly identifies [[کوکتل‌های رسمی آی‌بی‌ای]].
* Reduces clutter and disorganization within the articles by moving information that is generally poorly formatted into a logical infobox template.
* Reduces nearly all contentious "recipe" information (which is generally considered [[ویکی‌پدیا:ویکی‌پدیا چه چیزی نیست]] within Wikipedia) to a small list of key ingredients (which essentially defines the drink much like the chemical formula does a molecule), and very brief preparation steps. All of this is moved outside the article and into the infobox, keeping the article clearly more encyclopedic in tone.
* Advanced scripting within the infobox properly links to pertinent articles, displays appropriate images, and handles other tasks based on a simple "attribute" and "attribute value" system (in other words, you copy and paste the template into the page, fill in a few key words, and the template does all the Wiki-magic to display lots of cool information).
