Amazing Typewriter Drink Mixer

Artists Statement / Read More

My piece has buttons working as pumps and has pipes instead of wires. It also has a display like any other electronic panel board, but as opposed to using liquid crystals as in electronic displays, my machine’s display functions via multicoloured syrups.

My machine converts words into cocktails. And, yes, it does work. Now I can literally taste the flavor of my words. […]

Pressing the buttons on the keyboard injects the corresponding ingredients into the display, which tints different segments of the display and thus produces letters. You can try to imagine that each letter can have a taste (L-Lime, A-Apple), a color (R-Red, G-Green), or a name (K-Kahlua, J-Jagermeister).

The ‘you know who’ cocktail

• 2 parts black sambuca
• 1 part absinthe
• 1/2 part gin
• lemon zest
• 1 dash lemon bitters

Combine sambuca, absinthe, and gin in a shaker with ice and shake well. Strip off a wide band of lemon peel with a vegetable peeler and twist over a chilled cocktail glass to express the oils. Drop it into the glass, along with a chip of dry ice and the bitters. Strain potion cocktail over the top and serve while dangerous.

It’s going to be a messy messy night tomorrow…

Drinking True Blood

This is super clever – a drink to promote the popular vampire tv series True Blood (only available in the USA). Fair to say  lot more cutting edge than the Betty Coke.
