How are we supposed to make money with the new Cocktails on Business lots?

On the new business lots we can now place the Beverage Dispensing Machine to mix all sorts of cocktails. For some types these are even expected like for the Lounge or the Club and we can also give our employees the task to mix drinks. But how are we supposed to make a profit with these?

The creation price is 9 for the lower Level drinks and 13 for the upper Level drinks:

When the drinks are placed on a surface there are no commercial options:

While holding the drink there are also no such options like e.g. for food or juices which can then be placed in the market stand for sales:

When clicking on the market stand while holding the drink there are also no options or rather it is not clickable at all during holding the drink.

I struggle to understand the logic. For example Lounges or Clubs are expected to operate with a one time entry fee. This is at 10 for a starting business. If one cocktail costs 9 or 13 to make and we offer these for free we lose money.

Maybe I am missing something or there is a specific other way how we can sell these drinks? Help would be appreciated!

It is even more crazy… I now gave one of my empoyees the task to mix drinks. They mix the drink and then stand around with it for a moment and then bring it right to the bin and throw it away… so even if you would like to give your customers a free drink this is not possible with employees as the drinks go directly into trash after making.

Did anybody get this to work somehow? With or without making money with it?

I pretty much have the same issue atm, just without the “throwing it away” consequence. Haven’t figured it out yet but I’ll let you know as soon as I find a workaround / solution.
