An Asian hub called Hue House in Midtown Manhattan in New York City is home to a self-serve tea-infused vodka vending machine.

It's the first in the city, according to a Travel + Leisure report.

"A house is meant to offer you space to eat, drink, celebrate, relax, and most importantly, build community and create conversations," Jeff Liu, Hue House CEO told the news outlet. "This is a house that celebrates Asian culture."

The vending machine also dispenses a boba tea-inspired liqueur.
