I spent 3 hours making the damn cucumber spheres needed for their gin and tonic. I love reading the needed materials in their book because it's usually a small paragraph including a sous vide

[@MrWnw]

'it's usually a small paragraph including a sous vide' thus its difficult/ easy to remake? Kinda didnt get it :D

[@jpage5350]

It’s because it’s kinda ridiculous for a cocktail lol

[@michaelcampbell8601]

@@MrWnw Sous vide translates to under vacuum. This means you typically need a vacuum sealer then either chill or heat the contents of a vacuum sealed bag in precisely controlled water or other liquid bath. Typically it used for cooking but you could use it to reduce something below the freezing point if you use something other than water for the bath. Its not too difficult to precision heat but precision cooling is a whole other level. So unless the drink is served hot or warm it would require you to also get some sort of compression device similar to the back of a fridge but is accurate enough to cool the liquid to a specific degree or generally 1/2 to 1/10th a degree. For a cocktail this is absurd for a steak or lobster it's an ideal cooking method but it turns 15 minutes on the grill into a 4 hour process for best results.

This is how I'm going to apply my biochemistry degree when I get it. Co-worker: oh you making alginate suspension, what's in it? Yeast? Me: ...Sure. Let's go with that.

[@flyberd7848]

Yeah im about to graduate with my molecular biology degree, I'll be doing this at my grad party. For myself of course, everyone else can make their own cocktails😜

[@teagan_p_999]

So, if I make this, I can call it studying?

[@ERBanmech]

dude same, some people can see this stuff as pretty complex but man with a biochemistry degree this seems kind of fun.

[@dysphoria_1.040]

What's in it? Yeast? No, it's a solution created from a number of compounds that were mixed and interacted with yeast, and is being put in this alginate suspension for recreational purposes.

Keep it simple, stupid It’s no different than a nice steak dinner. Steak, potatoes, maybe a vegetable, salad, or a dinner roll. You don’t need to even try to make fancy sauces or a fancy presentation. Sometimes simple is better.

[@DarkSech]

I made this for a friend's birthday present! I used a ping pong ball as a layering device. Everybody was mesmerized, thank you for showing these amazing cocktails!!

[@Tar0B0I]

dude this is a great video, i really miss the advance technique type videos from the earlier days on the channel so this was really fun to see you messing with molecular gastronomy tricks and stuff! reminded me of the smoke ball cocktail

[@robertallair7278]

Some dear cocktail loving friends of mine were moving away, to the other side of the continent, so I had to make something special for them. It took a while to assemble the equipment and specialized ingredients. It also took two tries to get the “spherification” process down. But in the end, it was TOTALLY WORTH IT!!

[@dcts8799]

iam not going to lie I won't make that at home

[@jayjay86443]

Yeah too specific on the measurements. I only understand 2 parts this 1 part that, but if I made that drink, I might as well serve it at a wedding catering service or whatever. Lots of money there.

[@idontliketoworkatall]

How far in advance can you make the rum orbs? Will the membrane disolve if you keep it in the rum too long?

[@Alrucards]

I had a more basic form of this drink when I go out too Barcade's around my city. Mostly involved mixing Goslings dark rum, Campari, pineapple juice and lime juice. Add all these ingredients together in a small glass with or without a cubed ice and enjoy.

[@gruggerduggerhoose]

This cocktail is stupidly complicated... love it

[@turtleburger7480]

Great video Nick, however wouldn't it be best to put your sippy cilinder before the layering, as when you do it after there's a chance you can break the layering? I'd like to know your opinion

[@jessicacollins4042]

Art and science, beautiful drink.

[@Michael.T.]

This is a next-level cocktail. Out of curiosity is there a reason why you created sugar spheres infused with the rum rather than just created rum spheres? I’ll definitely give this a try!

[@umbertocevenini]

I was wondering, why not adding the rum to the mixture that goes inside the bubbles? Great presentation and execution tho, as always thanks for your videos.

[@CrabRangoon245]

I have tried that actually but it affects the way the spheres are formed and they will have a much weaker membrane so it's harder to make a batch

[@umbertocevenini]

@@CrabRangoon245 Oh I see, I've never really tried with an alcoholic mixture, ive tried it only with green olive juice, to drop one sphere in a martini and it was fun...

[@jmhadahorse]

An interesting take on the recipe. Does this new interpretation actually call for Gosling's? The original Jungle Bird recipe calls for blackstrap molasses rum if I'm not mistaken.
