This is the world's best cocktail according to ChatGPT

ChatGPT was asked to create the world's best cocktail and this is what it came up with.

Drinks and rewards app Dusk prompted ChatGPT – an AI chatbot – to create the world’s best cocktail. After a few prompts and back and forth, it came up with this – the Heavenly Sipper.

It is currently being served at virtual reality bar Otherworld Hackney exclusively to Dusk app users before customers don their headsets and step into the virtual reality world for a gaming session.

DUSK also asked the chatbot why the cocktail tasted so great, and the AI wrote: “This Heavenly Sipper cocktail contains less than 50 ml of spirit measure, which makes it a lighter but still sophisticated drink that is perfect for those who prefer a more balanced cocktail. It's a refreshing and flavoursome drink that combines the tartness of lime, the sweetness of honey, and the subtle floral notes of elderflower, with a hint of anise flavour.”

The chatbot also created a mocktail, a non-alcoholic version, replacing sparkling wine for sparkling water.
