shaken or stirred: the art of cocktail making now features flying drones

brooklyn-based innovator michael cirino has created a new way to make cocktails. his company a razor/a shiny knife utilizes original ideas to promote a client’s product. for the italian liquor company fernet-branca, cirino has designed a drinking experience that incorporates drones into the cocktail-making world.

inspired by his interest in choreographing robots, cirino attaches the cocktail shaker to the drone, which carries it above the spectators. the drone has been programmed to either shake or stir the cocktail before landing back onto the table. ‘you may be asking, why do we use a drone to mix cocktails? and the only reason specific reason that we do this is, because its awesome,’ concludes cirino.

the project utilizes new technology in a safe and interesting way

a bartender is required to pour in the cocktail’s ingredients and transfer the mixed cocktail to a glass after flight

the drone flies above the crowd to either shake or stir the cocktail

this curated experience is in partnership with fernet-branca liquor
