This bug was originally reported in July 2016 by @GothicSimmer in the thread Drinks made by Perfectionist Sims don't display tooltip as of 1.20 Unfortunately, the original report was Archived in response to my post that the problem still exists. I've included the information from the old report that I think is still relevant.

There seems to be a bug introduced in version 1.20 where drinks made a by Perfectionist Sim doesn't display any drink info such as quality, what Sim created it, and the time until it spoils. I had tried making Meals and Ice Cream and neither of them had this problem with or without the Perfectionist Trait.
If the lot is reloaded (i.e., going to Manage Worlds) after the drink is made, the drinks made by Perfectionist Sims will display their tooltip.
Here's the thread about the bug in The Sims Forums.

Sims in the household:
A- My simself (created long ago)
B- A sim I added to the household from the gallery in v1.19.28 (I don't know when she was created)
C- A sim I just added to the household from the gallery (I don't know when she was created)
D- A sim I just created and added to the household (created with v1.20)
If sims A or B create a drink using a bar, the drink doesn't have its info.
If sims C or D create a drink, it works as usual.

It seems that the bug is caused by the Perfectionist Trait where drinks made by Sims with the trait do not display any drink info, any drink made a by non-Perfectionist Sim have their drinks display the tooltip. It looks like the problem remains in 1.22.
Initially I thought the bug was caused by having an older Sim but I later realized it's actually the Perfectionist Trait causing the issue. In 1.19, drinks made by Perfectionist Sims (in this case, Zoey and Ashley) displayed their drink info but as of 1.20, their drinks don't display any info.
If anyone doesn't have their Sims display any drink info, check if your Sim has the Perfectionist Trait.
