    As someone who makes bath bombs, here's a simple hack to avoid activating the citric acid and baking soda prematurely. Mix the wet ingredients into the baking soda first and combine with citric acid last. Less activation during mixing means more fizz in the final product. :)

    I'd caution however against having too many of these in one sitting. Each bomb will have about 3/4 oz of baking soda. Which in larger quantity can cause vomiting and diarrhea...

    • @FoxFireNaruto
      @FoxFireNaruto 4 года назад

      There should be no baking soda left when the reaction is balanced properly. The end result should just be additional water in the drink, CO2 and sodium citrate which is the "salt" of citric acid. It is still sour and is apparently a food additive so reasonably safe to consume. If done right you should only have to worry about the alcohol content for refills. So cheers!

    Suggestions: Substitute the granular white sugar, with confectioner's sugar, as that will dissolve into the drink better. When mixing, drop your liquids into the bowl first, then hit it with the sugar, and then the rest of the ingredients, adding the baking soda last, in order to prevent excessive reaction.

      Crystal light and the others already have some citric acid in there, so you’d have to adjust the recipe a bit. I’ve made regular bath bombs before, and water alone will work to bind them. I think this would be really cool with some blue butterfly pea flower in there, since it would also change color when added to an acid like lemonade.

    Bear in mind that some of the citric acid you add will react with spirits, specifically ethanol to form Triethyl citrate which is also known as E-1505 and used as a food safe plasticizer for making foams etc (a stabilizer basically). It won't harm you but im pretty sure but worth knowing as it might decrease the ABV of your drink.

    You know what you get when you mix citric acid with sodium bicarbonate? It's homemade baking soda! The trick is to get the pH just right in the final product because sodium citrate (that's what causes the "salty" flavor if you go close to 50/50, it's a salt of citric acid) is a pretty neat buffer.

    This is by far the coolest way to mess with the algorithm I've ever seen, give it a day and all of the crafty wine moms will be here in droves. PS if you spray the wet mix in with a spritzer it won't react as much so you'll have more reaction in the drink, you can also add herbs on the inside of the mold that'll look pretty on the outside of your bomb and act as a garnish.

    Seen them around for as long as the bath bomb craze has been a thing. Seen Cocktail bombs that make Sparkling Cosmos, Tom Collins, Dirty sherries, Rum Rodgers, and just about any carbonated cocktail you can name it's there... Never got to try one cause they were a flash in the pan in the early bath bomb craze.

  • @cantordavid613

    I tested this tonight, in anticipation of NYE. I must confess that I omitted the sprig of rosemary, since it was just a proof of concept. I used a scale and combined the reagents in exactly the prescribed proportions, and formed the drink bombs with two hemispherical measuring spoons (they came out nice and round, like balls are supposed to be 😜)
    I dropped my prepared drink bomb into my waiting glass of gin+wine, and it began fizzing after a moment. All good. HOWEVER, when I took a sip, the taste/mouthfeel was akin to the bowel prep used the night before a colonoscopy (pm me for details on how I know this, if you must).
    Any ideas on what I did wrong? I checked the drink a moment later after letting it fizz for a bit longer, and the experience was more pronounced. Ick.

  • @giggityguy
    @giggityguy 4 года назад +1

    From the title and you talking about drink bombs, I was picturing some sort of water-soluble membrane that holds a shot of liquid, that you can drop into a drink and have it dissolve, thus making it easy to make bomb shots like Jagerbombs, Irish Car Bombs, Sake Bombs, etc. without having to deal with shot glasses falling, breaking, or bonking you on the nose. Of course, dropping the shot glass is part of the presentation so not everyone would go for it, but I feel like it would be a cool alternative with hopefully less hassle.
    This was cool too, but now I'm hoping that what I said can be a real thing.

  • @abbiereid9180

    Saw your Lobe Blaster video with the butterfly pea blossom gin before I watched this video and I got thinking, the spectacle of the drink bomb and the colour change together would make for a great video, and you’d have no need for the lemon juice as the citric acid will create the reaction. Anyway, love the vids, keep them coming.

    Hey Greg, my wife and I saw a cocktail at restaurant we wanted to recreate. It was made with earl grey infused gin, honey simple syrup, and chamomile. It was supposed to be served hot, but we found we enjoyed it more cold. We couldn't get it quite right, but I think if altered to bring out the more herbaceous notes, this drink would be super interesting. Any advice?
