The Home Bar seems particularly aimed at those who have tried making good cocktails themselves without much success.
I'm guessing most people would struggle to tell the difference between Drinkworks' "Margarita" and "classic Margarita."Įven with more complex drinks, it will still be more cost-effective to buy all of the ingredients yourself. I'm also a little disappointed that staples like the Manhattan are missing and three of the starting 15 are Margaritas. I have trouble imagining a Cosmopolitan from concentrate that comes anywhere close to what I'd get from a knowledgeable bartender. Given the initial investment and the regular cost of carbon dioxide canisters, Drinkworks will need to make great, high-end cocktails to feel worth it. Nevertheless, we're not talking about a simple Jack and Coke. Supposedly, the Home Bar has 2,000 recipes stored within its memory, but the pilot program will only launch with 24 available pods - which include 15 cocktails, a cider from Stella Cidre, English beers from Bass and German-style beer from Becks.ĭepending on where you live, a four-dollar cocktail might seem expensive, or perfectly reasonable. The company wants its product in the hands of passionate early adopters who will be willing to offer feedback. Louis, however, as Drinkworks is launching with a limited pilot program for now. You won't see machines on shelves unless you live in St.
Preorders start Tuesday and the first machines will hit stores starting Monday, Nov. You can get a four-pack of cocktail pods for $16 and a four-pack of beer pods for $10. A two-pack of carbon dioxide canisters will be $15 - and each canister will be able to make roughly 15 drinks. Its a flexible machine that can make over 40 different cocktails with fresh ingredients including bitters, extracts, and juices. The machine itself will cost $300 at launch. It only takes three simple steps to make your favorite cocktail with this mixed drink machine: insert the cocktail capsule, choose the strength, and push mix. Hopefully the end result will indeed taste like a high-end, well crafted cocktail, as investing in the Home Bar won't be cheap.
