Daily Random Cocktail Recipe Sender to Telegram

This n8n workflow automates sending a random cocktail recipe every evening at 8 PM (20:00) to a specified Telegram chat. It starts with a Cron node that triggers daily at the set hour, followed by an HTTP Request node that calls the free Cocktail DB API to retrieve a random drink's details, including thumbnail image and preparation instructions. The Telegram node then sends the image as a photo message with the instructions as the caption, ensuring a visually appealing and informative notification.

The benefits are straightforward yet delightful: it saves manual effort in discovering new recipes, adds a touch of fun to daily routines, and leverages reliable free APIs without any custom coding. Ideal for personal use to unwind with mixology ideas or for group chats to spark social plans. It's lightweight, requiring only Telegram bot credentials and runs passively once set up.

Use cases include personal cocktail enthusiasts wanting daily inspiration, bar owners sharing recipes with staff, or friends' groups for virtual happy hours. Easily customizable—adjust the Cron time, chat ID, or even extend to multiple recipients or filter recipes by ingredients. With just three nodes, it's beginner-friendly and highly reliable for recurring fun automations.
