Keurig is launching a cocktail machine that whips up alcoholic drinks from the same pod technology that brews your morning coffee in seconds.
Along with Anheuser-Busch, Keurig will soon make mixed drink beer pods — called Drinkworks — available for use in a brand new machine, the Drinkworks Home Bar.

The cocktail contraption will cost $299, The Verge reported, with pods running $3.99 a pop or four for $15.99. There will be 15 flavors in total, including crowd-pleasers like a Moscow mule, margarita, mojito, and Long Island iced tea. To distinguish between the different drinks and their appropriate temperature requirements, the Home Bar will scan each pod’s barcode before its mixology technology takes over.
Users will have to fill the machine’s tank with water, just like a traditional Keurig, but CO2 tanks will be necessary for the creation of carbonated drinks. Each new Home Bar will come with the customer’s first tank — which it can make 15 to 18 drinks with — but refills will cost $14.99 for a two pack.
The Drinkworks Home Bar will be available to purchase on Nov. 19.
