The Robotic Bartender

At CES in Las Vegas we were witness to a demonstration of the robotic bartender from Somabar.

This machine is extremely interesting and more advanced than it even looks. At a glance though this machine will take a bunch of liquid ingredients and make your beverage.

It works by loading your machine with juices, spirits, sodas, etc (up to six items) and telling the machine (from your smartphone) which ingredients you have loaded into each slot. The app will then use those ingredients to suggest a large amount of drinks that can be made with those ingredients. Pick the one you want, and press go on the smartphone. Within seconds you will be drinking a cocktail made to measure per the exact recipe.

It’s extremely simple and impressive for those who love mixers. It is available for pre-order on Kickstarter.
