Grandma’s revenge is a cocktail created by AI – would YOU try it?

Artificial intelligence created an alcoholic drink that tastes like the melted candy you find in the bottom of your grandma’s handbag – and it got a three out of 10 taste.

This drink, called Grandma’s Revenge, is just one recipe generated by the technology, which was asked to create cocktails based on names given by TikTok users.

Grandma’s Revenge consists of brandy, sherry and port, while another called Burning Inferno is made with vodka and Tabasco sauce.

TikTok account Mob recently shared videos showing him following the instructions to make each potion based on what the AI ​​produced.

AI was developed to improve our daily lives. It’s being used in self-driving cars, powering chatbots, developing new drugs and now the technology is helping people mix unique cocktails.

Mob, who has 1.2 million followers, asked the AI ​​to make an alcoholic drink from a name he gave.

“Make me a cocktail recipe based on the name Burning Inferno,” the TikToker shared in one of the videos.

And within seconds, the AI ​​generated the ingredients and instructions to make the vodka-based drink.

This drink needs flax juice, simple syrup, triple sec, Tabasco sauce, and four slices of jalapenos.

The AI ​​instructed the TikToker to fill a shaker with ice and add the ingredients – except for the jalapenos.

He was then instructed to mix the ingredients thoroughly, strain the liquid into an ice-filled rock glass, and garnish with the jalapenos.

‘Fine. I’m going to give this a nine-and-a-half out of ten,” the TikToker said after taking a sip of the yellowish-colored drink.

During the video, the TikToker said he would ask the AI ​​to make a potion that someone suggested in the comments – Grandma’s Revenge.

This drink contains brandy, sherry, port, lime juice, lavender syrup, splashes of angostura bitters, butterscotch liqueur and a lavender spring as a garnish.

The instructions from the AI ​​read: ‘Add the brandy, sherry and port to a shaker filled with ice.

Shake vigorously for 20 seconds until well chilled. Add the lime juice, lavender syrup, and angostura bitters and stir to combine.

Float the butterscotch liqueur on top. Garnish with a lavender sprig and serve.’

However, Grandma’s Revenge left a bitter taste in the TikToker’s mouth, who gave it a three out of 10.

While asking AI to generate cocktail ingredients is no substitute for bartenders, AI-powered robots making the mixed drinks can.

A robot bartender named Cecilia – who can pour 120 drinks an hour and pull some bad jokes – was unveiled in February 2022.

The six-foot-tall interactive robot can speak 40 languages ​​and has several functions, including an ID scanner, and is currently at Florida International University’s Chaplin School of Hospitality & Tourism Management in Miami to teach hospitality students about the industry.

To use Cecilia, customers can verbally request their order or use a touchscreen menu to choose from a variety of cocktails that come out of a slot in the machine.

The robot can respond with the available options or even suggest an alternative to customers.

“The idea of ​​a robot bartender replacing human mixologists is ‘not even close to reality,” Brian Connors, director of the Bacardi Center for Excellence and an FIU hospitality professor, told the Miami Herald.

‘This is a defined mix of high tech and high touch hospitality. In this industry, we will always be people first. This is a team sport.’
