Mavis Beacon Teaches Drinking: A Cocktail-Mixing Typewriter

Now here’s something completely nerdy and delicious! Morskoiboy has created a hydraulic typewriter that mixes a cocktail by each letter typed. Hooked up twenty-six various flavours and food colourings, the machine adds to the concoction that then becomes your literary poison.

So what about some of the world’s great literary works? I imagine Leo Tolstoy’s War and Peace would have a distinctly slivovitz palate, while Hunter S. Thompson’s Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas would have more of a Jaegermeister vibe (laced with every drug imaginable, of course). And as for I Do Believe I Came with a Hat? Well, you know it’s 100 proof.

See the typewriter in action:
