Perfect Drink App-Controllable Smart Bartender

Get shaken, stirred, or whatever you fancy with the Perfect Drink App-Controllable Smart Bartender. Users can place the included shaker, or any glass of their choosing, directly on the scale and then select a serving size. That makes it easy to create everything from a single drink all the way to an entire pitcher. Connecting to your iOS devices and the companion app, it weighs each ingredient and then tells you when to stop. If you accidentally over pour an ingredient, the system will compensate by readjusting the other ingredients. Any drink – or even your special creation – can be saved in the app’s library to make later.

A silver version is $28.95 while a black model retails for $29.99.
