At-home bartending technology company Barsys created a smart cocktail innovation in the form of an app-controlled cocktail that provides directions for making drinks. The Barsys Coaster works with the brand's companion cocktail-making app and provides step-by-step guidance for assembling a cocktail.
Rather than requiring specialized equipment for measuring, the smart coaster lights up to indicate when enough of an ingredient has been added. According to Akshet Tewari, Barsys founder and CEO, "With the Coaster, we set out to make serving a cocktail as easy as grabbing a beer or pouring a glass of wine. Cocktail-making requires a level of skill and precision that anyone can now obtain."
Using the app, people are able to access a wide range of pre-programmed recipes and even have the potential to create their own concoctions to share.
