Alcohol mixing device {DEVICE FOR MIXING ALCOHOL}

The present invention relates to a liquor mixing device, in particular, when a glass is placed on a rotating support, two types of liquor are mixed at a desired mixing ratio and supplied to the glass, and the supply of alcohol is cut off when the alcohol exceeds a set amount, It relates to a liquor mixing device capable of controlling the temperature of

Recently, mixed liquor (also called bomb liquor), which is drunk by mixing alcoholic beverages such as beer, liquor, and soju in a desired ratio, has become popular. This mixed liquor has the advantage of being easy to drink and getting drunk quickly with a small amount of alcohol. In order to manufacture mixed liquor, the manufacturer often used the method of stirring with a spoon or chopsticks according to the desired type of alcohol in an appropriate ratio according to the person's taste.

However, since the mixing ratio is determined according to the manufacturer's taste, the mixed liquor often does not suit the taste of the drinking party, and the mixing ratio also changes from time to time, so there is a problem that the taste is not uniform.

Therefore, in order to solve this problem, Korean Utility Model Registration No. 0392149 (hereinafter referred to as prior art) discloses that when manufacturing mixed liquor at a drinking party, not only can alcohol be quickly divided into several glasses and poured, but also a uniform mixing ratio A mixing device for alcohol that can be divided into and followed is disclosed.

However, since the prior art has only the effect of uniformly distributing alcohol to the glass, and the mixing ratio is determined by the time the manufacturer pours the alcohol, there is a problem that it is insufficient to satisfy the taste of alcohol of many people.
