The molecular movement in food , which we ’ve wrap up before , is all about apply scientific technique to the preparedness of food . Freezing things in Nitrogen . Separating ingredients in a centrifuge . Cooking at exact temperature for precise amounts of clip . When applied to alcohol , it ’s no unlike .

Another x - axis drink , the Root Beer , is made by first bring forth a murky tea of sassafras , vanilla , licorice , star anise , birch bark , cardamom , and the comparable . process through a rotary evaporator , this becomes a clear but intensely sapid liquid state that is then unify with kirsch brandy . The crystalline mixture - it await like a marvellous glass of piss - is served over three uncommonly perfect shabu cubes infused with vanilla . As you toast and the cubes melt , the tang ripens into something resembling the best , and most advanced , soda - fountain drink ever .
