I was late reading this post so I am a little late but these were my thoughts. As the people above have already given plenty of examples for cocktails these are my thoughts on which glasses you would need to add for all of them.

Most instantly recognisable would be a glass of champagne. The shape of the glass is very distinctive. (A regular wine glass could be used for red, white and rose wine)

A martini glass like you have in your video is my next choice. By filling it with different coloured liquids it can stand in for many things.

Third would be a tumbler. Again, with different coloured liquids this could work for any straight liquor or mixed drink.

My last choice would be a tall glass. This would work for any cocktail that has a lot of fruit juice in it.

It’s actually worse, it’s a grey tuxedo. Did I mention the art is all placeholder?

Black tuxedo… brown shoes? Really!?

An Ubuntini would be nice: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ubuntini

Are you using a masked animation system for this, so they can hold the drink and do other things?

On the note of alcohol. I’ll leave this here.

Yeah, totally, spilling a drink on somebody is going to be a local distraction for the partygoers, and you’ll be able to tell the Double Agent to do it as well!

I would do all your standard alcohol drinks, but toss in 1 or 2 nerdgasm easter eggs.

EG: The Pan-Galactic Gargleblaster from Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy, Finagle’s Folly from Star Trek, or go really pop culture with Butterbeer from Harry Potter.

Of course you HAVE to have the standard martini, (but you already said that you did), but you could include some subtlety by having the bartender, (if you have someone prepare the drinks based on orders), shake it for preparation instead of stirring.

Gin and Tonic, or for something a little more recognizable, a Gin Rickey (with limes in it).

Yep, I think it’s most important to have a glass and a color, Brown Highball is easier to understand and spot than “Tom Collins” :) Not that you can’t name em, but maybe something like “Appletini (Green Martini Glass)”
