Cocktail pods from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theglenlivet.com\/en-US\"  rel=\"noopener\">Glenlivet<\/a>, on the other hand, are made to be enjoyed by humans.<\/p>\n<p>Enjoyed responsibly, of course, and by adults. But yes, the nearly 200-year-old whisky maker really did put the water of life in a digestible pod. There&#8217;s no need to stir and the pods can be chilled &#8212; so there&#8217;s no melting ice to dilute your cocktail. You don&#8217;t even need a glass.<\/p>\n<div class=\"flex-video widescreen embed\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/fQHC9FrDUuI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>It&#8217;s all about &#8220;redefining how whisky can be enjoyed,&#8221; according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pernod-ricard.com\/en-uk\/media\/press-releases\/glenlivet-breaks-tradition-glassless-single-malt-cocktail-capsule-collection\/\"  rel=\"noopener\">a press release from The Glenlivet<\/a>. That&#8217;s what the pods look like at the top: sloshy little biodegradable bags of booze. The exterior of the pod is made from seaweed extracts and a discarded pod will decompose in about a month, according to the sustainable packaging makers at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.notpla.com\/\"  rel=\"noopener\">Notpla<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The &#8220;Capsule Collection&#8221; was created in partnership with London&#8217;s hip\u00a0bar\/eatery Tay\u0113r + Elementary. They created the cocktails that were sealed inside the limited-run pods. They&#8217;re only be served for London Cocktail Week.<\/p>\n<p>Tay\u0113r + Elementary presents them as an amouse-bouche. That, coupled with their slightly jiggly nature, makes the pods sound an awful lot like pretentious Jell-O shots.<\/p>\n<p>We shouldn&#8217;t poke too much fun at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.geek.com\/news\/japan-opens-cocktail-bar-in-a-waste-dump-to-promote-sustainability-1772011\/\"  rel=\"noopener\">cocktail<\/a> pods, though. Remember, Nick Offerman himself said there&#8217;s no wrong way to order a whisky. As Ron Swanson he painted in even broader strokes, saying &#8220;There is no wrong way to consume alcohol.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Cocktail pods are certainly a less conspicuous way to have a quick nip while you&#8217;re out and about. Most people would probably think you&#8217;re just popping a large gummy in your mouth rather than a 23ml shot of scotch.<\/p>\n<p>Personally, I&#8217;d love to see these at my liquor store in something like a holiday chocolate tin.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>More on Geek.com:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.geek.com\/culture\/45000-barrels-of-bourbon-destroyed-in-jim-beam-warehouse-fire-1794550\/\"  rel=\"noopener\">45,000 Barrels of Bourbon Destroyed in Jim Bean Warehouse Fire<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.geek.com\/news\/japan-opens-cocktail-bar-in-a-waste-dump-to-promote-sustainability-1772011\/\"  rel=\"noopener\">Japan Opens a Cocktail Bar in a Waste Dump to Promote Sustainability<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.geek.com\/culture\/even-more-kelloggs-cereal-gets-re-born-as-craft-beer-1792244\/\"  rel=\"noopener\">Even More Kellogg&#8217;s Cereal Gets Re-Born as Craft Beer<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.geek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/glenlivet-pod-650x366.jpg\" width=\"650\" height=\"366\"><\/p>\n<div>These colorful cocktail pods aim to redefine the way people enjoy whisky.
