Home Cocktail-Making Machines

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Drinkworks Home Bar is the Keurig of Cocktails

— November 13, 2018 — Lifestyle
Many companies claim to have made the "Keurig of cocktails" but the Drinkworks Home Bar is literally a Keurig machine built to craft amazing cocktails. Designed and developed as a joint venture between the single-serving coffee pod giant and Anheuser-Busch InBev, the device closely resembles a Keurig K Cafe espresso maker. However, instead of heating water, the Drinkworks Home Bar cools it and utilizes a carbonation tank fed from a disposable CO2 canister.

The joint venture between the two brands was done with the "mission of making the entire drinking experience — from purchase, to creation, to enjoyment — more remarkable through innovation.”

Accompanying the Drinkworks Home Bar is a collection of cocktail pods. Each of the pods contains a signature blend of spirits and natural flavors, both of which are meant to achieve a perfect cocktail. The ingredients are all precisely measured and will even tell users the correct glass to grab.
