      @@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.

    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

    Personally I wouldn't drink this because I don't like things busting in my mouth but it does look really cool!

    But I've just never been a fan of drinks that aren't ready to drink when you serve them

    5/8ths of an inch ? 99% of us prob have no idea what that amounts too
    don’t understand how we still use this imperial system

    Campari has such a great flavor. But it's so bitter that it makes you FEEL bitter, which I just cant get over

    Wow what a complex drink to make, but worth it since it's too pretty.
