Given the ingredients you have on hand, find every cocktail you can make completely — one where you already have all of its ingredients. Garnishes are treated as optional and plain water is assumed available; soda and tonic water are not. Matching is word-based, not substring: "gin" matches "London dry gin" but not "ginger beer", and generic terms do not match product-class extras ("gin" will not cover "sloe gin" or "orange bitters"). Returns two lists: "makeable" (drinks you can make now, up to 60) and "almostMakeable" (drinks exactly one ingredient short, up to 25, each naming the missing ingredient). Drinks needing two or more extra ingredients are omitted entirely. Both lists are ordered simplest first — fewest distinct ingredients in the full recipe, then alphabetical by name. Use this for multi-ingredient "what can I make?" questions; for a single ingredient use find_cocktails_by_ingredient.
