Cocktail teaching is not just training student pouring the best ingredients mixed together or just teaching a skill of performance to mixing. Preparing the successful cocktails, student is required more knowledge behind the skills. The purpose of this study is to develop an instructional module for the field of cocktail especially focusing on the topics of well realize resources for designing a recipe calculating cost and alcohol. Qualitative and quantitative were used for developing the model. Computer-based training system is easily transferred to real-world industrial operation skill. The computer cocktail training system model that consists of a training standard-cocktail module which concludes photos, recipes and regulations of 65 official cocktails of the IBA and an instruction module was reported. The model was created to simulate in teaching cocktail and schedule to design cocktails. The evaluation was preceded when the model applied in training student. Student from the controlled class learning cocktail with the module was investigated to analyze the effectiveness of model. The result was compared to the contrast class learning cocktail without the module. The one way ANOVAs were performed for all this measurements. After study, the study concept or ability of student is able to familiar with the full scale ability which are the name of cocktail, category, glass, ingredient, price of bottle, content of bottle, required volume of cocktail, the classification of cocktails families to calculate the cost and alcohol concentration of cocktail, the alcohol unit of cocktail to familiar with the basic rules of cocktail mixing, method of preparation to realize how to make a successful cocktail, to operate the model and to familiar with model to make a recipe.
