The Cocktail Shaking Barbot

A cocktail shaking robot is just one of the draws for the upcoming Science of Distillery courses to be held in San Francisco.

The event will be held as part of the Bay Area Science festival and will look at the science behind distilling.

Mixologists and master distillers will be at the event and visitors will get their very own beverage making stations.

The event takes place on October 30th and costs $40. Drinks will be plentiful and if you're lucky you may just get one mixed by the cocktail shaking robot pictured above.
