Adding a Keurig to the Bar

If adding a hot drink to your repertoire is something you’ve considered, think about implementing a Keurig machine as a way to quickly create said drinks. Purchase a Keurig machine from any local retailer, and make sure to grab a few of the reusable coffee pods. By poking a hole in the bottom of the reusable pod, you can actually fool the machine into thinking there’s coffee in it. That way, you can leverage the quick brewing capabilities of the Keurig to quickly make a hot drink with no extra tools.

Always make sure to run water through the machine between uses and at the end of the night to make sure no unintended flavors get left behind for the next cocktail!
