If you love quirky gadgets, especially the kind that make life easier (or messier) in the kitchen, you’re going to enjoy this round of drink gadget testing. From clever can openers and reusable straws to ultrasonic beer foamers and whiskey smokers, I tested 10 different gadgets designed for all things drink-related.
Some of these drink gadgets turned out to be genuinely useful, others… well, let’s just say you might want to watch the video before buying.
What Are Drink Gadgets?
Drink gadgets are tools or accessories designed to help you pour, serve, cool, open, or enhance your drinks. Whether it’s for a home bar, kitchen, party or picnic, they range from practical tools to conversation-starting novelties. In this test, I tried a bit of everything — some items worked far better than expected, others didn’t quite live up to the hype, but as usual, I had a good old time.

A reusable straw that folds into a small case and unrolls when you need it. It’s eco-friendly and surprisingly functional despite its unusual rectangular shape.

Final Thoughts
This batch of drink gadgets had a real mix of hits and misses. A few of them (like the precise drink dispenser and beer wizard) were honestly brilliant. Others, like the soda dispenser, didn’t exactly pass the test. The fun part is seeing what actually works, and what ends up as a gadget fail.
