That reminds me of a story. We purchased a special biotech device called an FPLC which is used in commonly used for the purification of proteins. They utilize very highly accurate pumps capable of dispensing between 0.001ml/min and 100ml/min (accurate to around 0.1%). These pumps have a buffer blender attached which can mix up to 8 different liquids at once and can maintain mixture accuracy to within 0.5%. According to the project manager, what was the first thought in their head? "This would be really good for making alcoholic beverages"; so that is what they did. The hooked up gin, vodka, rum, bourbon/whiskey, tonic and two types of fruit juices. Created a bunch of automated programs to call for drinks. It ended up working so well that the first time they demo'd the machine at a trade show, they secretly made alcoholic drinks for anyone that knew to ask for one. The pumps were so precise that it could even create layered drinks automatically and things like that. He said this went on for almost two years; icluding several close brushes with the safety officers, they labeled the buffers Buffer J1 (Juice 1), Buffer V (Vodka), etc. until the project was 100% completed and transferred to manufacturing. Even the director and VP of their division knew about it and would come in to the lab to get drinks from time to time.
Considering each instrument is $40-200k, that would be one HELL of a pricey bar.

200k write-off in 10 years time, divided by 100 infusion drinks a day average, makes 50 cents the glass. Not nearly yuppy enough.
Plenty folks who shell out 20k to 50k for a coffee maker :

Excellent choice unfortunately I take very limited amounts of brown spirits these days. Had a 25yr. old privately bottled in the 80's

Come the weekend, decaf Kona with Jameson's Caskmates Stout, Irish whiskey and a little sugar with some whipped cream on top, love that Irish coffee...
The Caskmates story is worth the time to look up online...
When I can afford it, Prarie Artisan Ales "Bomb" Stout, MMMM good!

It's superb, reminds me a lot of Phoenix beer, which is ideal for a beach at the ocean.
Drinking a custom drink made of:
1. Dark rum
2. Unrefined (dark) Sugar Cane syrup
3. Amaretto
4. Angostura Bitters
5. Vanilla Extract
6. Some water to liberate the aromatic molecules, use as much until the whole drink tastes smooth
Optional: some soluble coffee, some soluble dark chocolate
Give it a try.

This summer I brought home some 21yr Old Pulteney from the distillery. Very nice, still have some left.
