The Bartesian Duet Cocktail Maker is high on Comerford’s must-try list. “When I was first introduced to the Bartesian two years ago, I was like, ‘Stop. Go back to that. It makes it for you? I’m done. This is my favorite item. I’m in,’” she says. This sleek, compact countertop unit makes crafting cocktails as easy as pressing a button. Simply fill it with your preferred spirits, insert a pre-mixed cocktail capsule and let the machine do the rest. It even reads the capsule’s barcode to suggest the right glassware and allows for users to customize drink strength – from mocktail to strong. Perfect for celebrating employee milestones or adding flair to client gifts, the Bartesian Duet brings fun and sophistication to any occasion. “When employees hit their revenue goals, one of these babies gets shipped out, and we follow up with new drink capsules to celebrate their wins,” Comerford adds.
