MixStik is a small, affordable connected device that helps you make awesome cocktails in seconds. Now you can whip up a cocktail almost as easily as you can grab a bottle of beer, or a glass of wine. Good stuff in life shouldn’t always be hard to make, right?
MixStik is for anyone who likes to drink cocktails but finds them too difficult or strenuous to prepare. If you like romantic tête-à-tête, inviting friends over to dinner or organising parties big and small then MixStik is for you !
Make an impression by serving more sophisticated drinks than the usual glass of wine or beer bottle. Alternatively, maybe you already know your way around cocktails (we sure do!). With MixStik, you’ll make them faster and easier than ever before. Jigger is so 20th century.
Let the stick and app guide you, just drop it in a glass or a shaker.
You can even customize them or create new ones and share them on the app. The final app will be available on iOS and Android platforms. (The iOS beta app is available now on the AppStorehere. For the moment it has just the main features, a few classical recipes and the design is far from final)
Handy to make a round of many drinks at the same time.
MixStik has small rubber spikes at its bottom tip. It allows for a better grip and also serves as a muddler to squish mint and other soft ingredients. The stick can of course be used to stir the mix.
Calibration will allow a more precise mixing. Keep your calibrated glass and shaker in memory. Alternatively you can choose from the most common types of glasses before mixing a drink without the need to calibrate.
Just place MixStik near the phone on the connect screen, it connects automatically.
The battery will last all night, we tried many times :) but when it eventually dies out, recharge it easily on a regular usb port from a laptop or a wall adapter.
Waterproof and easy to clean.

The SDK will let the imagination of developers go wild and extend the uses of MixStik. We can’t wait to see what the community will make with MixStik.
Both founders have been cocktails lovers for a long time. But it was always the same story: Charlotte, who had more experience in mixology, was always the one preparing them. At one point, she got fed up and refused to mix. Raphael had no choice but to get to it, and when he realized how annoying it was to find a good recipe and measure the right ingredients, he decided to do something about it. After several unsuccessful attempts and complicated solutions, he had the clean and simple idea of MixStik. It took a lot of development and a failed Kickstarter campaign in 2014, but the simplest solutions are often the hardest to come by.
