The Innovation of Cocktail Printing

The world of mixology is witnessing a revolutionary change with the advent of cocktail printing, a technology that infuses creativity and personalization into the realm of drinks. This innovation is not just about mixing flavors; it’s about adding a visual and emotional appeal to each cocktail.

Introducing the Ripple Maker: A Game-Changer in Mixology

The Ripple Maker emerges as a groundbreaking cocktail printer, redefining the art of cocktail presentation. This cocktail printing machine is not just a tool; it allows mixologists to transform ordinary drinks into extraordinary experiences. Cocktails become a canvas.

The Ripple Maker: Unleashing Creative Cocktails

Understanding the Ripple Maker Product

The Ripple Maker is a state-of-the-art cocktail topper printer that enables the printing of intricate designs and messages on the surface of cocktails.
The device uses a combination of 3D and inkjet printing technology to add a range of colors – plant-based vegetable extracts developed in Ripples’ own food laboratory – to the top of any foam-topped drink.

Bartenders can choose from a range of naturally derived colors (including purple, and even glow-in-the-dark) – and from a selection of thousands of royalty free designs created exclusively for Ripples. Customers can even submit their own selfie to be printed. With a customizable WebApp and an interactive touchscreen, the entire process is completed in seconds, with no interruption to the bartender’s flow of service.

Ripples is a blend of technology and art, designed to enhance the visual appeal of drinks and create a memorable experience for every customer.
