The Mixologist achievement in Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Zombies challenges players to craft and drink four different custom sodas using hidden ingredients scattered around Ashes of the Damned. While it sounds like a basic scavenger hunt, many ingredients are tucked away in obscure spots, leading players to miss key items or waste time searching the wrong areas.

This complete guide breaks down every ingredient location, how to craft each unique perk drink, and exactly how to unlock the Mixologist achievement. Completing all four recipes across separate matches also rewards you with the Soda Sommelier Calling Card after your very first drink. If you're grinding challenges or simply want free perks early in the match, this walkthrough covers everything you need.

How to Get a Free Quick Revive in Ashes of the Damned

Quick Revive remains one of the most versatile perks in Zombies, improving revive speed for teammates and increasing health regeneration for solo players. To craft it, you must locate the following three ingredients:

Quick Revive Ingredient Locations

1. Bleach - Server Room, Janus Towers Plaza

Inside the Server Room on the plaza's west side, check the desk beside the wiring panels. A bottle of bleach is sitting out in the open.

2. Fish - Blackwater Lake

Head to the wooden pier at Blackwater Lake. Directly across from the Mystery Box spawn, you'll see a collectible fish lying on the boards.

3. Stim Shot - Zarya Cosmodrome Control Room

Inside the Cosmodrome's Control Room, inspect the northeast wall. A metal cabinet holds a Stim Shot on the second-highest shelf.

Where to Craft Quick Revive

Travel to Reba's Diner (Exit 115). Interact twice with the soda fountain's empty cup to automatically prepare and drink the Quick Revive mixture.

How to Get a Free Jugger-Nog in Ashes of the Damned

Jugger-Nog remains one of the most important perks in the entire Zombies mode, boosting your health and allowing you to survive more hits. Its recipe consists of a plant, a bottle, and a carton of eggs.

Jugger-Nog Ingredient Locations

1. Plant - Janus Towers Plaza Elevated Road

Head up the raised road leading from Janus Towers toward Blackwater Lake. A small plant sits on the concrete edge near the guardrail.

2. Bottle - Vandorn Farm Barn

Inside the Barn, just before dropping into the Cellar, look west through the wall gaps. A collectible glass bottle rests between the beams.

3. Eggs - Reba's Diner Kitchen

Inside Reba's Diner, enter the kitchen and check the north wall's storage rack. A carton of eggs sits on the middle shelf.

Where to Craft Jugger-Nog

As with all drinks, return to the soda machine at Reba's Diner to blend the ingredients and receive your free Jugger-Nog perk.

How to Get a Free Speed Cola in Ashes of the Damned

Speed Cola is essential for high-round survival, granting faster reloads and quicker armor repair. To craft it, gather the following:

Speed Cola Ingredient Locations

1. Plant - Blackwater Lake Crash Cart

Enter the lake area from Janus Towers Plaza. Near the crashed supply cart, go prone facing south and collect the plant hidden beneath the wheels.

2. Box of Nuts - Ashwood / Hargrove's Mercantile

Ride the east-side Ashwood zipline to the upper area. Inside Hargrove's Mercantile, check along the south wall for a crate filled with nuts.

3. Sugar Packets - Reba's Diner Dining Area

On a serving table beside a coffee cup and a handbag, you'll find a pile of sugar packets ready to collect.

Where to Craft Speed Cola

Head to Reba's Diner's soda station once again to mix your custom Speed Cola drink.

How to Get a Free Stamin-Up in Ashes of the Damned

Stamin-Up provides a major mobility boost, increasing sprint speed and duration-perfect for a large map like Ashes of the Damned.

Stamin-Up Ingredient Locations

1. Box of Nuts - Vandorn Farm Barn Cellar

Drop down into the Barn Cellar and check the southwest wall shelves. A box of nuts is sitting on the lower tier.

2. Bag of Beans - Ashwood / Hargrove's Mercantile

Return to Hargrove's Mercantile via the zipline. A bag of beans leans behind the counter near a cabinet.

3. Gasoline Can - McDougal's Service Station (Exit 115)

Outside the service station, next to the northwest trash can, is a red gasoline can that you can collect.

Where to Craft Stamin-Up

Enter Reba's Diner and use the soda machine behind the cash register to create your custom Stamin-Up drink.

How to Unlock the Mixologist Achievement Faster

To earn the Mixologist Trophy/Achievement, you must craft all four custom drinks in a separate match. Only one drink can be made per game, so you'll need at least four playthroughs. After crafting your first drink, you'll unlock the Soda Sommelier Calling Card automatically.

If you want a stress-free environment to gather ingredients, Call of Duty Black Ops 7 Bot Lobbies can help reduce competition and interference from players; even choose to buy CoD Black Ops 7 Bot Lobbies to speed up achievement runs, but the steps in this guide work consistently in standard public and solo lobbies.

Tips for Speedrunning the Achievement

·Start matches in solo to avoid competition for ingredients.

·Grab Jugger-Nog or PhD Flopper early to survive tough zones.

·Unlock fast-travel routes for smoother navigation.

·Memorize Reba's Diner's location-it's the crafting point for every drink.

·Finish the recipe steps as early as possible to avoid high-round chaos.
