Q. How does the Drinkworks Home Bar® work?
The Drinkmaker appliance reads proprietary Drinkworks Pods and uses precision on-board chilling and carbonation systems to deliver remarkable cocktails, brews and more at the push of a button. To make a fresh drink, simply insert a Pod into the Pod basket and follow the display prompts—your drink will be poured in under 60 seconds. We recommend removing the empty Pod immediately after making each drink to ensure the Drinkmaker continues to prepare fresh, high-quality cocktails.Q, How do I set up the Drinkmaker?
Simply plug in the Drinkmaker, download the Drinkworks app and follow the in-app and on-screen instructions. After a few easy steps, you’ll be kicking back with a Moscow Mule or Cuban Daiquiri in hand.Q. How long does it take to make the drinks?
Depending on the drink, it takes anywhere from 30 to 60 seconds.Q. Should I keep my Drinkmaker plugged in?
Yes. Leaving the Drinkmaker plugged in ensures that the water remains chilled and that it is always ready to make drinks. When the Drinkmaker is not in use, it goes into a standby mode to conserve energy.Q. What happens if the Drinkmaker loses power while it’s in use?
Once power is restored, the Drinkmaker will prompt you to complete the process that was interrupted. If the Drinkmaker was preparing a drink, it may drain excess water—in this case, place an empty glass under the tap and then discard the water. If the Drinkmaker was running a Clean Cycle, you will be asked to specify which step was running before it shut off so it can continue.Q. Where is the best place to set up the Drinkmaker?
We recommend placing the Drinkmaker in the kitchen or wherever you plan to serve bar drinks. Set the Drinkmaker on a flat, level surface, with about a 2-inch buffer space from the wall and preferably near a sink. You can remove the water tank from the Drinkmaker to fill it.Q. Can I use Keurig K-Cups in my Drinkmaker?
No. Keurig K-Cups are designed specifically for Keurig machines and can only work in those machines. Keurig K-Cups contain powder, and Drinkworks Pods contain liquid.Q. Does the Drinkmaker make hot drinks?
No. The Drinkmaker, including its on-board chilling and carbonation systems, was designed specifically for a variety of chilled cocktails.Q. What are the dimensions of the Drinkmaker?
The Drinkmaker was designed to seamlessly fit into your kitchen, whether it’s on the counter, in a cabinet or on your bar cart. Its dimensions are 13.5"L x 13"H x 13.5"D.Pods & Drinks
Q. Do I have to buy my own alcohol?
No. Each Pod contains a signature blend of premium spirits and natural flavors, precisely measured in each sealed unit. See the full Drinkworks beverage portfolio here.Q. How strong are the alcoholic drinks?
The strength of each drink varies but is similar to that of the drinks you enjoy at your favorite bar. You can find the alcohol content of each Pod on our website as well as on the packaging.Q. How cold will the drinks be?
The internal chilling tank maintains a water temperature of 37°F (3°C), and each drink will be chilled to its temperature based on its Pod-specified recipe.Q. How do I know that a Pod is an authentic Drinkworks Pod?
To help our consumers make sure they are using authentic Drinkworks Pods, we put a Drinkworks “trust mark” on all of our Pods as well as the tubes and boxes that contain them.

If you do not find a Drinkworks trust mark on your Pod, please contact our Top Shelf Service Team at hello@drinkworks.com.
Q. Can I adjust the size of my drinks?
The size of each drink varies by Pod. Our recipes are crafted to make cocktails at home like you’d find at a bar, so each drink size was designed to match bar-quality standards. For example, an Old Fashioned is 4 ounces and a Gin & Tonic is 8.5 ounces.Q. Should I refrigerate my Pods?
We recommend refrigerating Drinkworks Pods for the coldest, most refreshing drinks, but it’s not required. Brew pods in particular are at risk for foaming if not refrigerated after some time.Q. Do Pods expire?
Our Pods are best enjoyed within 365 days of being produced, and we recommend that they are consumed within that timeframe for optimal taste and quality.Q. Can I find my favorite liquor brand in any of the Drinkworks Pods?
We develop all of our Pods alongside leading mixologists, with quality and taste top of mind. We source alcohol from a variety of spirits producers, including premium brands like Jack Daniel’s, Elijah Craig and Chambord. Look on each Pod for its specific ingredients.Q. What glass size should I use for drinks?
The recommended glass size is based on the drink you make. The size of each individual drink is indicated on the Pod. Additionally, the Drinkmaker will display the recommended glass size once the Pod has been inserted.Purchasing

Q. How do my drinks become cold? Do I need to add ice?
The Drinkmaker ensures drinks are chilled to the ideal temperature prior to serving. Water passes through an internal chilling tank, which brings it to the optimal temperature for your selected cocktail. For some drinks, you may want to add ice once it’s poured, but we leave that choice up to you.Q. What is the water tank?
This is the removable container that sits on the front of the Drinkmaker. The Drinkmaker draws water from this tank into the internal chilling tank.Q. How much water does the water tank hold?
The Drinkmaker water tank holds 50 ounces of water. That’s about 20 short drinks (like the Cosmopolitan) and about nine tall drinks or brews.Q. What is the internal chilling tank?
The internal chilling tank located inside the Drinkmaker stores and chills the water that is used to prepare drinks.Q. How much water does the internal chilling tank hold?
The internal chilling tank holds about 32 ounces of water.Q. Can I make drinks while the Drinkmaker is chilling the water?
Yes, you can make any drink that does not require carbonation while the Drinkmaker is in the process of chilling the water.Q. Does the Drinkmaker have a water filter?
Yes. There is a holder for a replaceable carbon filter located at the bottom of the water tank. The Drinkmaker comes with a filter, which you install during the setup process. It should be changed about every two months. Find out more information about the water filter in the Home Bar® Care Guide. You can also contact our Top Shelf Service Team at 1-855-DRINKWORKS or hello@drinkworks.com.Q. How does carbonation work?
The Drinkmaker has an on-board system that uses a replaceable CO2 cartridge to add the right amount of carbonation based on the drink it is preparing. Find out more information on carbonation in the Home Bar® Care Guide. You can also contact our Top Shelf Service Team at 1-855-DRINKWORKS or hello@drinkworks.com.Q. How do I replace the CO2 cartridge?
Follow the instructions found on the inside of the CO2 door and in the Home Bar® Care Guide. It is a fairly simple process, but the system is pressurized—so please read the instructions prior to replacing a cartridge. You can also contact our Top Shelf Service Team at 1-855-DRINKWORKS or hello@drinkworks.com.While we’re on the subject of CO2, please recycle each cartridge after use! CO2 cartridges can be placed directly in your curbside recycling bin.
Q. How many drinks does one CO2 cartridge make?
The amount of carbonation per drink varies but, on average, each CO2 cartridge can make up to approximately 15 carbonated drinks.Q. How will I know if I am running low on CO2?
The Drinkmaker will display a message when the CO2 is running low. Find out more information about CO2 in the Home Bar® Care Guide. You can also contact our Top Shelf Service Team at 1-855-DRINKWORKS or hello@drinkworks.com.Q. Do I have to do anything to make sure my drink is carbonated?
No, the Drinkmaker takes care of that for you by reading the Pod’s unique bar code. The Drinkmaker uses precision on-board chilling and carbonation systems to prepare cocktails, brews and more at the push of a button.Q. Does the Drinkmaker have a maximum number of continuous drinks it can make before it needs to re-cool?
The Drinkmaker can essentially make an infinite number of beverages as long as the water tank is filled with water and maintaining a temperature of approximately 34°F. If the water tank is not at that temperature, the Drinkmaker can create an average of six continuous drinks, depending on dispensed beverage size. As a best practice, we recommend putting the coldest water possible in the tank to start.Q. Does the Drinkmaker have a maximum number of carbonated drinks before it needs a refill of the CO2 bottle?
For carbonated beverages, the CO2 cartridge can produce up to approximately 15 drinks before needing a replacement. Remember that maintaining a cool temperature in the water tank will help ensure the Drinkmaker runs as smoothly as possible.Drinkmaker Controls

Q. What is the pod basket and do I need to wash it?

No, the water tank is not dishwasher-safe. We suggest removing it periodically and handwashing it with dish soap and hot water.Q. Can I put the drip tray in the dishwasher?
No, the drip tray is not dishwasher-safe. We suggest removing it periodically and handwashing it with dish soap and hot water.Q. What is the best way to clean the Drinkmaker?

First, wipe the exterior with a clean cloth and check the drip tray to make sure it's free of residue. Remove and wash the Pod basket frequently with soap and hot water. And run a Clean or Rinse Cycle periodically to make sure the internal tank and parts are clean—if you forget, the Drinkmaker will prompt you to run a Clean Cycle.Q. What kind of container do I need to run the Clean and Rinse cycles?
When running a Clean or Rinse Cycle, place a half-gallon container under the tap to hold the water that empties from the Drinkmaker. We recommend a large plastic food container or medium pitcher—make sure it can hold 64 ounces of water, which is large enough for the job (with some room to spare).Q. What are the cleaning tabs?
Cleaning tabs are dissolved in the water tank when running a Clean Cycle. These tabs are formulated to gently clean the internal components of the Drinkmaker.

The entire Clean Cycle takes about 30 minutes. You will be prompted to fill the water tank and empty the cleaning container a couple times during the process.Q. How often should I clean the Drinkmaker?
