abunda_amazon_reviews I have spent a small fortune, but I was determined to find the best of the best. Here is a breakdown of my favorite drinks pods (for reference my favorite non-Bartesian drinks are: Long Island, Whiskey Sour, Rum Punch, Margarita). FYI - Some of these drinks are not yet available on Amazon, but can be purchased on Bartesians's website (Price is the same as Amazon, but shipping is not as fast as Amazon Prime - takes between 5- 7 days). UPDATE: After a few family gatherings, the unanimous favorites are Rum Breeze, Sex on the Beach, Margarita, Long Island, and Whiskey Sour. 1.) Rum Breeze - My absolute favorite!! Fruity, refreshing, but dangerous. It doesn't taste 'strong' (even on the strong setting), but this sure does sneak up on you!). This drink has a strong coconut flavor, with hints of strawberry. I go through these pods like water. YUM!! 2.) Sex on the Beach- Another fruity but dangerous favorite. I primarily taste cranberry, peach and pineapple in this one. 3.) Whiskey Sour - Delicious but strong. Perfect on the regular setting. Hints of sours and vanilla. 4.) Long Island - My favorite bar drink, but not my favorite Bartesian drink (I think because it doesn't have enough 'cola' flavor for me), but it's still delicious. Regular setting is PLENTY strong with this one. 5.) Margarita - This drink is perfect. Not overly sweet or generic tasting like alot of the grocery store mixers. 6.) Cosmopolotan - Lime and Cranberry flavors. A bit tart for me, but pretty good 7.) Paper plane - It reminds me of a whiskey sour I had at a resturaunt. Tastes of citrus, sour and bitter. Unusal but pretty good. It's like a sour patch kid for adults. 8.) Uptown Rocks - Strong Peach flavor. I actually prefer this with vodka than gin (I just switch the bottles). 9.) Old Fashioned - All I can taste is whiskey, but a hint of citrus does make it smoother. Not my favorite, but I'm not a fan of this drink anyway. 10.) Spiced Coffee- Pretty good. Hints of spice - cinnamon and nutmeg. I would have to be in the mood for this one because I'm not a fan of spiked coffee. I would not buy again. Although a friend of mine loves it with a splash of Bailey's. 11.) Sazerac - This drink is slightly sweet and has subtle hints of licorice. All I could taste is whiskey when I made this drink using a regular strength. The flavor comes thorough much better on light, but I'm just not a fan of this one. 12.) Mint Julip - Tastes like toothpaste. If you're a fan of mint, or Mojito-like drinks then this one is for you. 13.) Negroni - And finally, my least favorite pod, and one I will definitely never buy again, the Negroni! This drink has a strong herbal flavor. I don't know how it's possible, but it tastes like eating a pine tree. Also very bitter. Definitely not for me.;;Reviewed in the United States on December 15, 2019;;5.0 out of 5 stars;;I have tried every drink pod* (*except gin martini);;Cassandra;;;Full disclosure, I own a bar. Keeping all the mixers on hand and fresh to make this variety of drinks is a tall order. We often are out of one mixer ingredient due to product having expired. The convenience of having this at home with all the flavors premixed is hard to beat. The drinks are a surprisingly tasty and well balanced cocktails. Initially, we were worried that they might be too sweet, an issue that plagues most off the shelf pre-mixed ‘cocktail mixes’. These are not too sweet. The variety is great and they are dead simple to use. Very pleased. This will be a hot-ticket gift item this holiday season.;;Reviewed in the United States on October 30, 2019;;5.0 out of 5 stars;;Very pleased.;;OkieDoc;;;I ordered the product and received it in time for a dessert party I was having in my house for 40+ guests. It was awesome. All my guests was super enthused about this product, which allowed us to not need to have a bartender for the event. Normally we just serve beer or wine at parties (and I'm not a drinker myself) so I didn't know that the uptake on cocktails would be so high! I'd ordered several varieties of capsules and quickly ran out of a few flavors (whiskey sours and rum breezes), which seem like they'd be simpler drinks to mix anyway (? don't know), but everyone really liked the variety and the exotic name mixes like Sex on the Beach were big hits :-) It was great how quick the machine worked and how easy it was to use. My only problem is that I didn't have enough cocktail glasses and I needed to use wine glasses because the demand was so high for the machine. The tray where you put the empty glass is close enough to the nozzle so the machine expects you to put shorter glasses in it (vs. long stem wine glasses), so I had to hold the long-stem wine glass at an angle up to the nozzle rather than just set it in the tray. Not a problem for normal people, but be prepared for high demand for cocktail glasses if you're having parties! I was surprised how many people preferred these liquor drinks rather than beer or wine. It was probably 80% of people, although maybe that is partly because of the novelty of the device... everyone wanted to try it. Another thing I encountered was that when I closed the flavor capsule into the receptacle (same as you'd pop in a Keurig capsule into a coffee maker), that sometimes the capsule wouldn't be recognized. This was probably because the device was being used so much (it made probably 60 drinks that night)... but I quickly found out why: they have a barcode scanner camera in the machine so the machine automatically knows which capsules require which types of alcohol (it makes the mixing process completely automatic)... The problem was that the barcode scanner gets fogged up occasionally... If you are making a lot of drinks, and it doesn't recognize the capsule, just run your finger on the glass surface about the capsule where the bar code scanner is (to wipe away the condensation/fog on the camera lens) and it instantly works. I had to do this 3 or 4 times in the evening. A small glitch in a high use condition. It's a huge party hit and lots of people left my house saying they wanted to get one for themselves or for Christmas/wedding gifts. A final note: put a bowl or basket or something next to the machine to put the used cocktail pouches so the liquid drops from the used pouches doesn't get the table sticky. That's something you don't have to think about as much with a Keurig!;;Reviewed in the United States on November 19, 2019;;5.0 out of 5 stars;;Easy to set up and a huge crowd pleaser...;;Sean O'Sullivan
