Fetch a random cocktail from TheCocktailDB and return its recipe as XML.

## Setup

The request uses TheCocktailDB’s public test key `1`, intended for development or education. For a production use, obtain appropriate API access and replace the key in the request URL in the workflow. The host must be able to reach TheCocktailDB.

## Behavior

Run manually to retrieve one random recipe. The XML contains the returned `drinks` fields, including empty elements for missing values, and is available as `data`. Open Flow expects the documented flat drink fields; an unexpected nested field or invalid XML character stops conversion. The n8n version uses its XML node. A service failure stops the run.

Recipe data: [TheCocktailDB](https://www.thecocktaildb.com/). Check its access terms and the returned licensing metadata before redistributing content.

## Changes to the source

*   Open Flow converts the service response to XML with a Code node; n8n retains the original JSON-to-XML node.
