While drink-mixing tech is becoming commonplace in the homes of mixology enthusiasts around the globe, there’s nothing quite like the new Barsys 360 machine that’s just burst onto the scene, resembling something out of a sci-fi flick.

This sleek, halo-like piece of tech brings the skills of both traditional and innovative bartenders right to the user’s fingertips. Connected to a dedicated app that controls each meticulous measurement, the Barsys 360 surrounds the glass with an enthralling display of lights while it pours you the drink of your innermost desire.

From a simple aperitif to a cocktail nerd’s dream, you can choose to go complex or keep it classic as the robot allows up to six different liquors and mixers to be poured into the dedicated 900ml canisters.

The accompanying app then guides the user to input these ingredients, which unlocks a curated menu of cocktail recipes tailored to the chosen spirits. The 360 then takes over, spritzing and sparkling as your drink is poured. Why thank you, Jeeves.

But that’s not all: in a world where bespoke is everything, users can tweak individual measurements to suit their preferences and taste profiles. Over time, the machine learns from these adjustments and offers personalised recommendations, ensuring that every drink is just the way you like it. Very clever, Jeeves.

Weighing in at 4.5kg and standing 43 cm tall, the Barsys 360 is an impressive addition to any home where cocktail o’clock is on the itinerary. You’ll pay for the glitz and the glam of this laarnie appliance too, with the 360 costing a decent R9050.

Now, not everyone will want to fork out for this hefty piece of sci-fi mixology tech; sometimes it’s just fun seeing what’s out there. We smart amateur-mixologists, who want the same level of classy beverage without the sizeable price tag, will rather choose Fitch & Leedes cocktail mixers.

There’s something for everyone when it comes to Fitch & Leedes’ offerings: even if you switch up your fave cocktail with every season like myself, you can move seamlessly from a summer pink tonic G ‘n’ T right into a wintery Dark ‘n’ Stormy with this local company’s bevvy of options.

Very cool robot moves, Jeeves, but for convenience and wallet’s sake, I’ll stick with my Fitch & Leedes. Just as yummy, but without the unnecessary light show.
