The MixStik is a gadget that combines new technology with your favorite cocktail. No longer do you have to wonder how to mix your friend's complicated drinks, the MixStik will show you what levels to pour each component of the drink, so you get it just right.

Using the gadget is simple. It sits in a glass while you pair it with an Android or Apple device via Bluetooth. Once you have the size of the glass measured, the app will light up the stick and let you know how far to pour each liquid. The stick is made of silicone and is able to be charged via a USB connection.

One of the best features, beyond the extensive list of cocktails, is having it create a drink for you based on what you have lingering around your house. You are also able to add your own creative cocktails, which is always a house party hit.

If you are going to throw a party, one app can run many of the sticks at the same time. It is easier if you have the same sized glasses, so you can input the same size each time. The MixStik is a conversational piece as well as a timesaver; it will definitely keep the party going.

Keeping MixStik the center of attention is easy and parties can be centered around the technology. A brunch with a Bloody Mary bar is a great way to incorporate a cocktail buffet with the technology and get people chatting.

The MixStik is an API, it can do things besides just mix great drinks. As the technology grows we will see these sticks be useful for many different things, such as light painting and controlling video games.
