Patent a drink recipe?

[cleirach70]

I'm a bartender, and I've made a few of my own signature drinks.. is there anyway i can get a drink patented? might be a silly question, and a silly thought lol but i'm proud of them! :) thanks!

You can't patent a recipe.

If you had a unique process of mixing the ingredients that led to a unique flavor, you might be able to patent that process.

You simply have to protect and keep your recipes secret.

And honestly, do you think you're the only person to ever mix the ingredients the way you are? I bet you there are a hundred bartenders making the same drinks you think you have invented.
