The world’s coolest ‘robot bartenders’
Crawley’s Imperial Cocktail Shaking Machine
This may not be the most high-tech machine included on this list, but Crawley’s Imperial Cocktail Shaking Machine certainly is cool, and demonstrates how other robot bartenders have come into being.
Re-created by bartender and entrepreneur Jason Crawley, general manager at the Drinks Cabinet, the machine was designed according to a 200-year-old Victorian drawing.
Users simply crank the handle on the front of the contraption and the shakers inside move up and down and side to side to mix your cocktail ingredients. The gadget was shortlisted for the Best New Bar Product Spirited Award at last year’s Tales of the Cocktail.
