This cocktail machine creates levitating droplets you can lick right out of the air. From Lick Me I'm Delicious, the Levitron uses sound waves so you can have a drink without using a cup.
The cocktail machine is programmed to mix beverages like a 70-proof gin and tonic and 160-proof bloody mary. This contraption was created as part of their contact-less cutlery project. This project is a collaborative one between Lick Me I'm Delicious Founder Charlie Harry Francis and Bristol University Ultrasonics Professor Bruce Drinkwater. It was Dr. Drinkwater who introduced the key element of sound waves. He explains the machine uses "very powerful sound waves in the ultrasonic spectrum which crucially are beyond the range of human hearing."
What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Levitation Technology
- The development of levitation technology for food and beverage consumption creates opportunities for completely contactless consumption experiences.
- Innovative Beverage Dispensing
- Innovative machines that dispense drinks in a unique or futuristic manner offers opportunities for experiential marketing and novel dining experiences.
- Sensory-driven Dining
- Creating culinary experiences that engage multiple senses, such as using sound waves to levitate and dispense drinks, opens up potential for sensory-driven dining and drinking concepts.
Sectors Adopting This
- Food and Beverage Manufacturing
- Food and beverage manufacturers could explore the incorporation of levitation technology in their products or develop their own innovative and experiential dispensing machines.
- Hospitality and Entertainment
- The hospitality and entertainment industries could take advantage of levitation technology and innovative beverage dispensing to offer novel and engaging experiences for guests.
- Event Planning
- Event planners can incorporate levitation technology and innovative beverage dispensing machines as a unique selling point for corporate events or weddings.
