Celestial Nebula

Description: Celestial Nebula is an avant-garde molecular cocktail designed to captivate both the eyes and the palate. Floated in the middle of a double-walled glass and surrounded by a mesmerizing fog created by liquid nitrogen, this drink offers a truly otherworldly experience. The centerpiece is the Orion Pear, a fictional kiwi-flavored glowing fruit that lights up the drink. The liquid appears to float due to molecular suspension, while citrus essence air bubbles intermittently burst as you sip, adding a zesty sensory element. The entire cocktail is encapsulated in molecular gel, and when pierced with a straw, the drink explodes with vibrant flavors in your mouth. Ingredients: - 2 oz Orion Pear infusion (kiwi-flavored glowing liquid) - 1 oz premium gin - 1/2 oz elderflower liqueur - 1 oz fresh lime juice - 1 oz simple syrup - Molecular suspension agent (e.g., sodium alginate and calcium chloride) - Edible air bubbles with citrus essence - Liquid nitrogen for chilling base of the glass Instructions: 1. Prepare the Orion Pear infusion by blending kiwi-flavored glowing liquid and straining it. 2. In a mixing glass, combine the Orion Pear infusion, gin, elderflower liqueur, fresh lime juice, and simple syrup. 3. Add the molecular suspension agent to the mixture according to package instructions, ensuring the liquid will remain suspended in the glass. 4. Prepare the edible air bubbles with citrus essence using a culinary siphon and set them aside. 5. Carefully pour the chilled liquid into a molecular gel casing, allowing it to set until firm. 6. When ready to serve, fill the base of a double-walled glass with liquid nitrogen. 7. Place the encapsulated cocktail sphere in the glass, allowing it to float in the fog created by the liquid nitrogen. 8. Add the edible air bubbles to the drink. 9. Serve with a straw, and instruct the guest to pierce the gel casing to release the explosive flavors of the Celestial Nebula. Glassware: - Double-walled glass
