Rube Goldberg cocktail-mixing machine

Posted by Cory Doctorow, July 9, 2008 5:04 PM | permalink

This Rube Goldberg machine makes sheer delight out of the process of mixing a Falling Water ( 30mls (1Oz) 42BELOW Feijoa Vodka, lemonade, long slice of seedless cucumber, ice) -- it comes from Joseph Herscher, the same genius who made the Cadbury Creme Egg smasher. Link (Thanks, Sacha!)

The only thing I'd change about this guy's stuff is adding a second camera - one to record the overview shot, and the other to follow the action up close. Take the footage and edit it together - the quick zooms make my brain melt!

The falling water is such a delicious, refreshing drink. This guy named Christian McCabe at Matterhorn in Wellington came up with it and in NZ we use a local "chinese herbal drink" called Chi [The drink that knows it's own name, cue ad with someone opening the fizzy bottle which makes a chhhhh sound) which is drier than lemonade and less sweet. But not sure if you can buy chi anywhere else in the world.

Wow! Even if it takes long, I would not notice at all because the mixing is just amusing :)

This guy's a genius

There is something unreal about the cucumber slice.
