    Users can customize this workflow by:
    - Changing the API URL: Modify the URL in the HTTP Request node to fetch different data from the CocktailDB or another API.
    - Adjusting the File Name: Update the fileName parameter in the Write Binary File node to store data under a different name or format.
    - Adding Additional Nodes: Incorporate more nodes for further processing, such as filtering or formatting the cocktail data before storage.
