New Keurig machine makes cocktails instead of coffee

TAMPA, Fla. (FOX 13) - Move over, coffee pods. There's a new machine in town, and it's geared toward happy hour!

Keurig may be known for its coffee makers, but the company has teamed up with Anheuser-Busch InBev to create Drinkworks Home Bar, a machine that can craft a cocktail with just a pod.

The appliance uses specialized pods and CO2 canisters to prepare cocktails, beers, ciders and more at the touch of a button, the company says.

There are 24 drinks to choose from, including margaritas, sangrias, Long Island iced teas, Moscow Mules, mojitos and beer.

The drink maker costs $299, plus about $4 per drink pod and $7 for the CO2 tank.

Right now, the machine can only be bought in St. Louis, Missouri as part of a pilot program, but the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports the machine will be available for purchase in Florida, California and Missouri stores this summer.
