As the tech world gathers for CES 2026, Barsys is setting a new standard for the home bar. The automated cocktail leader has officially pulled back the curtain on two major innovations: the Barsys Shaker Pro and an AI-driven digital sommelier named “Bar-Bot.” Building on the viral success of their previous hardware, the company aims to demystify mixology for everyone from casual hosts to dedicated enthusiasts.
The Evolution of the Smart Pour – Shaker Pro
The standout announcement is the Shaker Pro, a significant evolution of the brand’s popular Coaster 2.0 technology. While previous models were often tethered to the countertop, the Shaker Pro focuses on mobility and integration.
The device features an all-in-one design where the mixing cup attaches directly to a smart base. Using a sophisticated system of interactive LED lights, the shaker communicates with the user in real-time. It signals exactly when to start and stop pouring each ingredient, ensuring that every drink is perfectly balanced.
“Our goal was to take everything people loved about the Barsys Coaster + Mixer and offer a more compact and mobile option,” said Akshet Tewari, Founder and CEO of Barsys.
Untethered Mixology
A major upgrade for the 2026 model is its power source. The Shaker Pro is now fully rechargeable via USB-C, allowing users to take the automated bartender experience to the patio, a tailgate, or a friend’s house without hunting for a power outlet.
Key technical highlights include:
- Active Aeration: The device automatically mixes and aerates the drink as you pour.
- Integrated System: A single unit that handles measuring, mixing, and guiding.
- Universal Connectivity: Seamless pairing with the Barsys mobile app via Bluetooth.
Meet “Bar-Bot”: Your New AI Drink Advisor
Hardware isn’t the only news coming out of the Barsys camp. The company is also leaning heavily into artificial intelligence with the launch of Bar-Bot, an intelligent assistant housed within the Barsys app.
Bar-Bot is designed to act as a personal bar manager. By analyzing a user’s current inventory and flavor preferences, the AI provides customized drink recommendations. If you’re looking for a low-ABV refreshment or a bold, spirit-forward cocktail, Bar-Bot sifts through thousands of professional recipes to find the perfect match.
Accessibility and Availability
Barsys is riding a wave of momentum following a record-breaking holiday season where their Coaster 2.0 claimed the top spot in its category on TikTok Shop. This latest product suite doubles down on the trend of elevated at-home experiences.
The Barsys Shaker Pro is available for purchase through the official Barsys website and Amazon. Meanwhile, the Bar-Bot AI feature is rolling out to the app starting today, offering recipe guidance and mixing tips even for users who don’t yet own Barsys hardware.
