Fake Juice Drinking

A cocktail glass that behaves like one.

Tilt the phone and the drink leans with it. Lean too far and it goes over the lip, down the side and onto the floor. Hold a finger on the glass and you drink it. Shake the phone and the surface breaks up and the ice knocks about. That is the whole app.

REAL LIQUID, NOT A LOOPING ANIMATION
The surface is a row of springs pulling on each other, so a wave travels across it and reflects off the far wall instead of the whole thing bobbing as one lump. What leaves the glass leaves at the speed a real head of liquid pushes it out, which is why a big spill gushes and then tails off on its own as the level drops back. The ice floats because it is pushed up by however much of it sits under the surface, so it rides the waves, slides to whichever side is downhill, and wedges partway down a martini glass once the drink is gone.

TWELVE DRINKS, NOT TWELVE COLOURS
A spritz fizzes and a dry martini does not. An espresso martini wears a crema. A tequila sunrise keeps its grenadine at the bottom where it belongs. A margarita has salt crusted along the rim and a midori sour has sugar. Every garnish is drawn rather than pasted in, so a wheel of lime on a shot glass is a small wheel of lime and not a squashed picture of one.

SIX GLASSES, AND THE GLASS IS THE DIFFICULTY SETTING
The width of the mouth against the depth of the bowl decides how far you can lean before the surface reaches the rim, so the glass really does change the physics.

Martini. All mouth and no depth. Goes over if you look at it wrong.
Coupe. A shallow saucer on a stem. The least forgiving of the lot.
Highball. Tall and narrow. Holds on past the angle you would bet against.
Rocks. Short, wide and heavy based. Spills early, but not far.
Hurricane. Waisted and tall. Takes the most ice and the most abuse.
Shot. Barely a glass. Empties in one go.

YOUR TAB
Every glass you finish goes on the tab. How many you have got through, how many today, your usual order, how much of the menu you have tried, and how much of it went on the floor rather than down. Clear it whenever you like.

WHO IT IS FOR
People who want the prop and not the drink. Designated drivers bored of holding a glass of water. Anyone who has ever handed their phone to a friend just to watch them tilt it too far. It is a party trick and a fidget toy.

WHAT IT DOES NOT DO
No actual drink involved, and no actual hangover. It is a picture of a cocktail that moves when you do. It is not a drinking game and it measures nothing about you. No accounts, no sign in, nothing to set up.

The only permission it uses is vibration, so you feel the glass glug as it empties.

Pour one. Try not to spill it.
