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 .
The Atlantic ’s Wayne Curtis writes about Achatz ’s new measure , The Aviary , and how proficiency such as reverse osmosis , stills and vacuum lot factor into these concoction . Curtis describes the timber of drinks using colorful reference work such as fungus , steampunk , and the Wizard of Oz . But the most interesting aspect he discusses is the X - axis potable , or the cocktail whose flavor change over clip .

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 .
