Keurig, known for its K-Cup system that turns coffee pods into a fresh cup, is showing off at the 2016 Consumer Electronics Show its new Keurig Kold machine, a one-button carbonated drink dispenser (i.e. want a Coca-Cola? Pop in a pod, press a button and there you have it).

But the company is touting a few other new pod options this week, including ones for cocktails. We're talking margaritas, mojitos and old fashioneds.

Keurig For Cocktails

Similar to a traditional Keurig, you fill up the systems' side cartridge with water and select the pod you want (the pods are slightly bigger than what a traditional Keurig will whip you up). You peel off the pod's safety seal, place it in the machine's cup spot (located under the top handle) and add the alcohol to your glass. In our case, we used rum and went for the mojito pod. After touching the start button, the system began to make the cocktail — start to end, it takes about 60 seconds, a noticeably longer wait time than Keurig's hot coffee maker.

And just like that, the mojito appeared. While it wasn't the most delicious drink we've ever had, it was surprisingly good for an automated system that did all the hard work for you. The quality is the cocktail-equivalent to what you'd expect from a Keurig cup of coffee — it does just the trick. Who keeps all the ingredients around to make a mojito on demand.

The Keurig Kold drinkmaker costs $369 and the cocktail pod boxes cost about $5.99 (four count). Sadly, rum is not included.
