I seem to recall that I found that section quite frustrating, too. I was
going to suggest that you check out UHS-Hints
(http://www.uhs-hints.com/uhsweb/hints/syberia/2321.php), but from the
order that you've written it down, it looks like you might have been
there already. I can't remember what I did differently between it not
working and when it worked, I'm afraid, but I was in the same position
as you where I was sure I'd done it right. All I can suggest is that you
try it a few times, in case you've forgotten something, or try it in a
slightly different order. Not much help, I'm afraid. But it can be done!

I had the same problem and had to check a couple of walkthroughs to get
past it. Syberia
is one of my five top favorite games, but I found this part a bit of a
pain. You might try this part of a walkthrough which is detailed about
mixing the drinks:

(don't forget to melt the honey):
Honey - Open the cabinet at the base of the bar. Take the
cut lemon and the crystallized honey. The honey is solid and must be
liquefied. Go to the spa area and to the raised thermal pool by the
chessboard (which is now used by 2 men in a pool). Turn the wheel on
the wall to raise the temperature of the pool and then place the honey
on the now heated pool to get liquid honey. Go back to the bar.
Bar - Look close at the bar. Place the lemon on lemon
squeezer at the left side top row. Place liquid honey at empty
contraption at right end of top row. Pick up the rolled paper by the
top counter and find the list of liquor with the corresponding music
signs. A bottle is missing from the bottle dispensers. Place vodka on
slot beside the honey of the top row of bottles. Press the red I/O
button to turn the machine on.
Remember that the base clef sign on the bar is on the left and the
treble clef is on the right. So read the list of alcohol turned to its
side with the base clef on the left and the treble clef on the right.
Press the second from the left piano key to get a measure of vodka
while the switch is on the base clef sign - original position. Flip
the switch to the right and then press the 3rd from the left piano key
to get a measure of Blue Curacao. Press the honeycomb button to get a
measure of honey. Press the lemon button to get a dash of lemon. Press
the snow icon button to get ice cubes. Press the barman icon on the
right to shake the cocktail. A cocktail comes out and Helena drinks
it. If it is wrong, Helena will be upset. Just make a new one and
check the switch. If successful, Helena will sing and she thinks that
her voice is bad and that the George's cocktail did not work. Kate and
James think otherwise. Helena has lost her confidence.

Wonderful! I was hoping for explicit directions so as to rule out any
chance of overlooking a step and here I am with multiple, helpful
responses. I appreciate the suggestions and guides that were posted,
CK, Mary, and NNY! Unfortunately even when I followed the directions
to the dot I still fail to please Miss Romanski. I tried about a half
dozen additional times and have resorted to seeking out a savegame from
a point further into the game.

Although it's disappointing to have failed to solve the puzzle even
*with* the aid of a walkthrough I'll accept it and move on!
Thanks once again for the responses.

were old lemons and newer lemons somewhere. I am probably wrong about that,
though.

Ooooh! That'd certainly explain the frustration I've had and my
failure to complete the puzzle even while following directions line by
line with the walkthroughs. I can only remember finding a lemon half
in the drawer below.. I'll have to double check now to make sure!
