When you think about wanting a drink, one doesn’t appear instantly in your hand. It’s not like gin and tonics magically fall from the sky when we call out for them. But soon they might, because the future of bartending could be a fleet of cocktail making drones.
In this video from the YouTube channel Per La Mente, Michael Cirino from the “culinary experience company” A Razor/A Shiny Knife talks about how they wanted to add some pizzazz to a party or social event by turning drones into the ultimate cocktail mixer, with both a shake and stir option. That way when you order your drink you can pretend to understand the difference.
As Cirino admits, since he still had to mix the drink and pour it into the glass, there is no real reason to use drones for this purpose other than it’s really fun and looks cool at a party. But while we’d be a little worried about mixing alcohol and spinning blades by ourselves, it’s fine when done by a professional.
Plus this is just step one in making the dream a reality. Today drones are merely shaking our drinks, but tomorrow they could be making them entirely. And then when we call out to the skies to bring us a drink, we might actually get one.
What would be the most fitting drink to get delivered by a drone? Shake up our comments section below by ordering up your best idea.
