Description
A modern cocktail technique that applies physical and chemical processes to create novel textures and flavors.
Technical
It employs cryogenic flash‑freezing to lock volatile aromatics, alginate‑based spherification to form gelled spheres, nitrous oxide infusion for controlled carbonation, and high‑pressure homogenization to produce stable micro‑emulsions. These processes rely on nucleation, ion‑crosslinking, gas solubility, and shear‑induced dispersion, respectively.
