We’ve all been that person stuck in the kitchen at a party, mixing drink after drink for throngs of thirsty guests. Well, for a mere $2,699 dollars you will never have to be trapped as the drink-dispensing host ever again.

An Atlanta-based artificial intelligence company called Monsieur has designed a robotic bartender to supply your every cocktail need.The company has so far completed six successful prototypes of the automated bartender and is now planning to sell an in-home version of the cocktail-concocting contraption.

Monsieur is trying to raise $100,000 on Kickstarter to build and ship its first batch of domestic, robotic bartenders. And for those looking to buy the drink dispensing machine, it comes with a hefty price tag.

The smaller, Monsieur Mini, which has containers for four mixers and liquors, is $1,499, while the eight-container machine costs $2,699.

That’s not to say you won’t get your money’s worth. The sleek-looking machine mixes personalized, specialty cocktails at the touch of the button. You can even make your selection from a smartphone, using the Monsieur app to browse from a list of cocktails, based on what mixers, juices and liquors you have stocked in your the machine.

Monsieur comes preloaded more than 300 drink recipes to choose from. Even better, the company plans to allow cocktail enthusiasts and mixologists to upload recipes to the app, which will make the recipes available for download, much like downloading songs on iTunes.
