Be Your Own Bartender is an interactive machine that allows consumers to browse and select [particular cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/virtual-bartender). Once a cocktail is selected, the kiosks will provide consumers with a list of proper ingredients. These creative kiosks will be conveniently placed within [liquor stores](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kiosk-pro) to bring knowledge directly to consumers. This will alleviate the use of smartphones and data used to search and find products. The kiosks will also eliminate the need to speak with a product consultant. By providing consumers with instant results inside stores, it will create an easier and pleasant shopping experience. When consumers find a cocktail they like, the [kiosks will immediately print the recipe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cocktail-codex).
