Story

Project Dionysus was created by the Engineering Dads to solve a bar tenders’ worst nightmare, which is needing to stop serving customers in order to make a cocktail. I mean look, let us be honest, it’s a nice to have. The convenience of being able to set up 4 spirits and 4 mixers to create any combination of drink and cocktail that you look is a real luxury! The flexibility of being able to have a basic mixed drink, or a fancy cocktail specifically programmed into a machine, will make sure you can bring the best party trick to the house!
