Even if cocktail culture is destroying bartending, perhaps the gadget above can inspire a new bartyping trend? Designer Morskoiboy has created a drink-concocting typewriter that converts words into cocktails. You can read all about how he made his invention here, which involved pumps, pipes and multicolored syrups. Better yet, you can watch a video demonstration of how it works below. As Daily What points out, it's entirely reasonable that one could rig up the letters of familiar drinks to match their individual components. If this means we might be able to finally make a Bacon Rum Milkshake cocktail, then count us in.
