See the three drinks, then make yours

The trend, explained
What is the Dog Bartender trend?
Dog Bartender is a short video joke about a dog that runs a bar. The dog sits behind the counter in glasses and a bib, and a pair of human hands behind it makes three drinks in a row. The first is plain, the second adds fruit and the third is a mess of broccoli and a cold sparkler. People pair them with three prices, $1, $5 and $50, and the joke is that each drink looks like it costs ten times more than the last. It is also searched as the $1 $5 $50 Drink Dog.
The post people point to is an older one: @chocodogger posted it on 27 September 2024 (about 5.5 million views). We found no new TikTok post in the last week; a real-dog version appeared on Instagram at the end of October, and four template sites listed the idea on 31 October. We do not call it a rising TikTok wave. View counts were not audited.
MimicZip makes your own version from one photo, as a video of 12 seconds in one fixed shot: the empty bar, the three drinks and the sparkler. The bar, the hands and the drinks are generated, there are no prices or text in the picture, and the bartender is yours, not the dog from the old post.

Where this trend comes from
- @chocodogger · TikTok · Sep 27, 2024 · 5.5M views — An older post from September 2024 that people point to as the source of the dog bartender and the three drinks. It is far older than the week we watch, so we did not follow it

What happens in the default Dog Bartender video
The 12-second video is one fixed shot at a wooden bar. Timings are approximate.
01 · 0–1.5s
An empty bar
You sit behind the bar in round glasses and a white bib, serious and proud, as if waiting for an order.
02 · 1.5–4s
Drink number one
Hands behind you pour a plain drink with ice into a short glass and slide it forward. You give a small, satisfied nod.
03 · 4–8s
Drink number two
The hands shake a shaker, pour a coloured drink into a tall glass and add an orange slice and berries on a stick. Your eyebrows go up.
04 · 8–11.5s
Drink number three
A tall glass with a floret of broccoli and a cold sparkler spitting silver sparks. You look at the camera like a professional who has seen it all.
05 · 11.5–12s
The row
The sparks fade and three drinks stand in a row while you keep looking at the camera.
Your photo decides who is behind the bar. The bar, the fixed camera and the order of the drinks stay the same; the hands never show a face, and there are no prices on screen. Choosing another bar, outfit or last drink changes the look, not the structure.
How to add the original sound in TikTok
Open the clip marked above, tap Use this sound, upload your video and keep the sound at 0s.Show the full how-to
Our videos come with an AI-made original soundtrack. To use the trending sound instead, add it inside TikTok when you post: that also puts your video on the sound's page, where people following the trend look. You can also download a silent version from My videos and put the original sound on that.
- Open the original video of this trend in TikTok, tap the sound name at the bottom, then tap Use this sound.
- Tap Upload and pick the video you downloaded from us.
- Open Volume and turn the video's own sound down to 0, or download the silent version from My videos.
- To line up the beat, use the scissors (trim) to start the sound from 0 seconds, then post.

No filming, no bar and no prompts.
Add your photo
Upload one clear photo of your dog, your cat or yourself, facing the camera, from the head down to the chest or lower. JPG, PNG or WebP, up to 10 MB.
Pick the bar and the finale

Make the full video
Spend 1 credit on the 12-second 720p video. Download it and post it with the sound you like.
Which photo works?
One photo is required. It shows one person, pet, toy or drawn character facing the camera, from the head down to the chest or lower. Glasses, a bib and an outfit are added by the video, so the photo needs none of them.
Works well
- A clear, well-lit photo of one pet or person facing the camera, head to chest or lower
- Face uncovered, with the eyes visible
- JPG, PNG or WebP, up to 10 MB
- Between 300 and 6000 pixels on each side
Avoid
- Babies, children or anyone under 18
- Group photos, a second animal or a person holding the pet
- Photos with no clear main subject: scenery, text, a screenshot or a crowd
- Celebrities, anyone who has not agreed, or a frame taken from another video
Limits: width-to-height ratio between 0.4 and 2.5. Upload only people and pets you have permission to use.

Cosy wooden bar
The default: a polished counter, rows of unlabelled bottles and warm hanging lights.
Beach tiki bar
A bamboo counter, a thatched roof and lanterns, with a sunny sea far behind.
Rooftop bar
A pale stone counter, string lights and a city skyline at dusk.
Pineapple finale
A pineapple wedge, a tiny paper umbrella and a cold fountain of sparks.
Cookie and cream finale
Whipped cream, a giant cookie, small candies and a sparkler on top.
Why people use it
Three drinks, one shot
A plain one, a fruity one and a last one with broccoli and a cold sparkler.

A cosy wooden bar by default, or a neon bar, a beach tiki bar, a rooftop, a retro diner counter or a garden bar.
Five outfits
Round glasses and a white bib by default, or a red bib, a bow tie, an apron or a tweed cap.

Questions people ask
What is the Dog Bartender trend?
A short video joke: a dog in glasses and a bib sits behind a bar while hands behind it make three drinks, each more over the top than the last, the third with broccoli and a cold sparkler. People pair them with three prices, $1, $5 and $50.
How do I make the Dog Bartender video with my photo?
Upload one photo of your dog, cat or yourself, pick a bar, an outfit and the last drink, choose 9:16 or 16:9 and make the video. You write nothing; the beats are already scripted.
Can I try it for free?
Not at the moment. MimicZip has no free tier or free preview; one full 12-second 720p video costs 1 credit, and packs start at $8.99. Every pack includes bonus watch-only previews. There is no subscription, and the full video has no watermark.
Why are there no prices in the video?
The $1, $5 and $50 are how people describe the joke, and we do not put prices or any other text on screen. The three drinks look more and more expensive without a sign.
Which sound goes with the Dog Bartender?
Our video has a light jazzy bar tune with pouring, ice and a fizz of sparks, and no song or words. To use a trending sound, download the silent version and add it in TikTok.
Is this connected to the creator of the older post?
No. MimicZip is an independent template tool. Your video is generated from your own photo and is not made, endorsed or licensed by @chocodogger or TikTok.
Can I use a photo of myself or a cat?
Yes. A cat sits up behind the bar the same way, and a person simply works the bar. The idea was written for dogs, so check a bonus preview first.
Will my dog really look like my dog?
That is the aim: the face, the fur and the markings stay yours, with the glasses and bib added. Use a sharp, front-facing photo and check a bonus preview.
More questions (5)
Can I change the bar, the outfit or the last drink?
Yes. There are six bars, five outfits and five last drinks, and none of them changes the price. The default combination is the one we tested.
Does the video have a watermark?
No. The full video has no watermark and no text, and the bottles and glasses carry no labels. Previews carry a PREVIEW badge and cannot be downloaded.
How popular is the Dog Bartender trend?
The older post people point to has about 5.5 million views, from September 2024. We found no new TikTok post in the last week, so we call it an old idea that template sites picked up again.
What if a video fails, and how long are my photos kept?
A failed render returns its credit by itself. Photos are stored privately and deleted after 14 days.
Was the Dog Bartender example really made on MimicZip?
Yes. It was generated here from a single AI-made photo of a fictional toy poodle, with the default wooden bar, glasses with a white bib and the broccoli finale.
