As a bartender, I also felt the desire to get my creations recognized.  I 
always told people about this or that and made sure to tell people how to make 
them so that the drink was "out there".  I submitted a few of my more original 
drinks and the storys behind their creation to magazines and bar/restaurants 
that would use them on their menus or publications.
Even now, as a bar manager, I still get comments from past customers about 
some of my unusual on the spot creations and requests for an original every so 
often.  
I feel I succeeded in my goal to get recognized.  While some of the drinks 
have faded into the past, the reputation I built for myself as a "mixologist" 
has stood the test of time.
You dont need a patent when you get that kind of recognition.
