and come up with a rough idea of the recipe...
See, there's the problem.
If you made Ian Fleming's Vesper martini with today's ingredients, it wouldn't taste the same as it would if it was made with ingredients available when it was invented by him.
Thankfully, in the case of the Vesper, someone found the equivalent.
I'm betting the same would apply to this.

Are they saying that the cauldron still had 3.7 gallons of liquid in it?
If so that was one heck of a vessel and the stopper must have been amazing.

It is astonishing that 4 gallons of liquid could remain in a 2,500 year old cauldron. Rather hard to believe.

“Braggot”.
Hmmmm. That could be a useful word in today’s world...a gay person who never lets you forget that’s what he is.

The beverage was determined to have most likely been a type of mead called a braggot, whose origins go back way into the distant past, long before Chaucer mentioned it in his Canterbury Tales.The bronze cauldron containing the beverage was inscribed as follows: "Great taste, less filling."

They probably drank it from the time it was new (sweet, low alcohol) until it was months old (dry, maybe ~ 13% alcohol depending on how rich one was and how much honey they could afford.)
Ladies probably liked it new, the guys, old.

I must have missed it but where was this cauldron found? Did they list the location of the dig?

Beer ain’t a liquor!
That article sounds like it was written by a (shudder) wine drinker.
