Because they put a ton of stupid tools in the phb back in 2014 that may or may not have had a reason to exist prior to removing or deciding not to add a crafting subsystem. But needed to make it to something. As to the cocktail mixing bartender though it's more of a knowledge check and would use int or wis  than some kind of stealth check to know the recipe not dex or whatever. Knowing that the alcohol is hard to notice if diluted and hidden by other flavors right is just of a matter of experience in tasting such a drink <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />.  Granted someone is still going to be drinking multiple cocktails or <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" alt="😈" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f608.png" title="Smiling face with horns    :smiling_imp:" data-shortname=":smiling_imp:" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" /> gasp <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" alt="😈" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f608.png" title="Smiling face with horns    :smiling_imp:" data-shortname=":smiling_imp:" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" />a novelty fishbowl sized glass, it just won't seem like there's much alcohol in it.  About the only time it might matter [Spoiler="barnerd stuff"]Mix enough non-alcoholic stuff (ice/citrus/ice melt in shaker/tonic water/etc) with an unusual high proof spirit like absinth or common but unusually distinctive variant of a common spirit like botanist in a drink where the unusual really pops & it's just a matter of knowing which cocktail recipe tastes good but needs a big glass which makes for a d&d  relevant situation.[/spoiler] About the only time I could think of it possibly becoming relevant in d&d is drinks prepared for a larger size category creature where instead of one 6oz cocktail with ~2oz of spirit it's a 24 or 36oz cocktail with 4-6oz+ of spirit. <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" alt="😈" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f608.png" title="Smiling face with horns    :smiling_imp:" data-shortname=":smiling_imp:" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" />now I want a proper social encounter with giants ogres and so on will offer PCs at some point <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" alt="😈" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f608.png" title="Smiling face with horns    :smiling_imp:" data-shortname=":smiling_imp:" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" /></blockquote>
