For decades the way of mixing cocktails has gone unshaken and unstirred: add ingredients and ice into metal cups and shake vigorously.
But now, inventors at Jose Cuervo tequila have put a truly unique spin on the age-old method of mixing by taking inspiration from an unexpected household staple… the washing machine.
Introducing the ‘Launderita’ : the world’s first ‘washing machine’ designed specifically to mix refreshingly satisfying cocktails. Jose Cuervo appointed a team of engineers and makers who spent hundreds of hours designing the one-of-a-kind colourful contraption to automatically mix the perfect margaritas with every cycle, taking tequila fans on an entirely new drinking adventure.

Users simply pour Jose Cuervo tequila, lemon, lime and light agave nectar into the washing machine’s drawers, hit the start button and witness cocktail-making conventions be completely upended in a luminous silicon drum. Once complete, this mechanised mixologist dispenses Cuervo's freshly mixed ‘Citrus Bliss Margarita’ from a tap directly into a sherbet-rimmed martini glass.
To celebrate National Margarita Day, which is celebrated on February 22, Jose Cuervo will be taking its madcap washer-cocktail hybrid on a bar tour, visting Cuckoo, in Call Lane, Leeds, on Thursday, February 24.
Known as the place that dares to be different, the unexpected invention will fit right in at Cuckoo with visitors set to experience a margarita cocktail like no other. The Launderita will be spinning away from 7pm to late, serving up sumptuously refreshing margaritas by the bucket load.
Those not lucky enough to live within sipping distance of Jose Cuervo’s Launderita can still get a taste of the excitement, with a limited number of pre-mixed washing machine margaritas available online.
