I've always thought something like this would be a fun idea to build a cocktail bar around. 80% of making a great cocktail is precisely measuring and combining high quality ingredients. .<p>If you spent some time making a very attractive machine that was fun for patrons to watch, mixed great drinks that were finished with a human touch, it could be a really interesting draw. I imagine a place with a beautiful/badass MIT-made drink-mixing machine would do quite well in Kendall square.<p>Create list of 8-10 interesting drinks that change weekly, that source from perhaps a dozen different liquors/fresh juices. The machines selects one of 4 glasses that was already clean, could precisely measure/mix/shake the drink leaving the bartender to garnish, present, squeeze fresh lemons into a container. I think you could have a quality experience.
