As the holiday party season continues to draw nearer, here is a collection of AI-powered bartenders and cocktail makers that could be whipping up concoctions for your party guests or fixing your order to perfection in a bar.
As a holiday host, you're given the responsibility of not only providing the drinks, but also providing drinks that everybody enjoys. While this is both a serious and time-consuming task, technology companies around the world have developed smart devices powered by AI that will make this duty easier or completely take it off your hands -- even if you're a bar owner.
Barsys Coaster
Barsys recently announced the Coaster, a smart saucer that guides the user on how to create a particular cocktail. By connecting the coaster to a smartphone with the complimentary app downloaded, users can choose from Barsys's existing library of cocktails or input their own recipe. Once a cocktail is selected, the user can simply start pouring ingredients one by one, and with each new alcohol or mixer, the coaster will light up when the correct amount has been added to the glass.
The Barsys Coaster is regularly priced at $149, but interested customers can pre-order it for $95. The device will start shipping in December.
