These techniques empower bartenders to craft creative, avant-garde cocktails.
Molecular Mixology Techniques
Molecular mixology encompasses an array of captivating techniques bartenders can leverage to craft visually stunning drinks. These include:
-
Direct, acid, and carbonated spherification – creating liquid-filled spheres with a thin skin.
-
Spherification with injection – injecting liquids into pre-formed spheres.
-
Velvets – producing luxurious, velvety textures.
-
Dry ice – unleashing theatrical dry ice smoke effects.
Through hands-on practice, course participants develop skills to produce alcoholic and non-alcoholic jellies in soft, hard, and filled varieties.
These molecular mixology techniques enable bartenders to elevate cocktails, captivating customers with drinks that push the boundaries of imagination and taste.
Ingredient Theory
Because mastering molecular mixology requires a solid understanding of key ingredients, the course delves into in-depth theory on sodium alginate, calcium lactate, calcium chloride, sucroester, soy lecithin, citric acid, citras, agar, isinglass, and gellan.
Sodium alginate is the backbone of spherification, while calcium lactate and chloride trigger the gelation process. Sucroester and soy lecithin aid emulsification, while citric acid and citras balance acidity.
Agar, isinglass, and gellan are used to create jellies of varying textures. Hands-on preparation with these real materials further enhances learners’ grasp of how each ingredient works in molecular cocktails.
More Great Tours NearbyHands-on Preparation
Alongside the in-depth theory, the course provides ample hands-on preparation using the real materials to enhance learners’ understanding.
Participants get the chance to directly apply the concepts and techniques covered in the lessons. The hands-on component includes:
-
Practicing direct, acid, and carbonated spherification
-
Experimenting with spherification using injection methods
-
Creating velvets, dry ice, and various jellies (soft, hard, filled)
-
Crafting alcoholic and non-alcoholic jellies
-
Exploring the properties and uses of key ingredients like sodium alginate, calcium lactate, and agar
This practical application solidifies the learners’ skills and confidence in molecular mixology.
