It was a whole process the first time I learned how to mix a martini. Though a cathartic experience, it would definitely be easier if I could push a button and have one ready to drink in seconds.
A new invention promising to be the Keurig of cocktails seems to have solved that, says Dose.
The Somabar is essentially a robotic bartender that will make cocktails for you the way a pod coffeemaker would. The machine operates six refillable "Soma Pods", which are similar to K-Cups. Different kinds of liqueurs, bitters, syrups, and mixers are available to play with.
The Somabar even goes one step further than a Keurig in that it is Wi-Fi operated. This means you can create your drink from anywhere in the house with your smartphone and just come pick it up when you're ready.
If the trend of turning any kind of beverage into a Keurig-like machine continues, we may never have to interact with a living person to quench our thirst ever again. Though, unfortunately, you will have to add garnishes and shake the drinks yourself.
Still, a bartender that won't cut you off...
You can pre-order units for $429 at their website now.
