At this year’s Fast Company Innovation Festival in New York City, PepsiCo Creator—the innovation group behind the food and beverage giant exploring the edges of culture—showcased their signature cocktails by using drone technology to mix up your drink. If you watched my bit on the SpoonTV Snapchat Story, you know just how cool this was to marvel at.
PepsiCo Creator’s Drone Mixology Experience took drones to the next level by enabling them to lift cocktail shakers in the air, mix them, and capture the whole experience from a bird’s eye view. Featuring PepsiCo’s new craft beverages of Ginger Cola, Agave Vanilla Creme Soda and Pure Leaf Green Tea, these three spiked drink recipes deliver the quintessential combos perfect for all your holiday parties.
Try them out below—with or without a drone—and follow PepsiCo Creator on Instagram and Twitter for more awesome, cutting-edge food and drink experiences!
