Bartesian | $ 350 | Amazon

Just before last year’s vacation started, I found myself owning one Bartesian. The main goal? Drinking as many cocktails and mocktails as possible to get through the rest of 2020 in one piece. The holidays are almost always hectic – between buying gifts for loved ones, writing a steady amount of content, and everything else (like a one-off 100 year pandemic plus a classic coup!) I was stressed out the hell out of it. I won’t waste time describing my personal woes as I am not Drake, but we can dive into the Bartesian and how it actually works.

If you are familiar with a single serving beverage company, with Keurig being the most popular, you will understand how it works. The Bartesian is large and uniform in appearance, but still an eye-catcher on your countertop. It comes with four glass bottles – one for vodka, whiskey rum / gin and tequila. It is important to place the glasses where they are labeled so that the computer can draw the correct type of alcohol for the cocktails.

Similar to the Keurig, unlike coffee pods, you have to have cocktail capsules ready. I used the Cosmo and Lemon Drop with vodka. There is a water reservoir at the foot of the Bartesian. This is very important too – if you want to keep your guarantee just put water in the back. So no strange jungle juice preparations. This is specially made for the adult and sexy.

After choosing a pod, you can choose between cocktail, light, normal or strong. If the cocktail you’ve chosen doesn’t need to be shaken, you’re good to go! If not, investing in a shaker as well and then pouring your drink into your preferred glass and enjoying it might be a good thing. The cocktails themselves are delicious as hell and have been a hit with my family over the holidays (and after). They loved the fact that they didn’t have to mix drinks by hand. Ringing in the New Year was a simple but spirited affair.

Sure, the Bartesian has a pretty high price tag $ 350and a six-pack pod is around $ 15 each, but it really gets your money’s worth. I mean especially when you miss going to bars and paying $ 13 for a top notch vodka cranberry. Why not have some fun you know We’ll all be in the house by at least autumn 2021 anyway.
