This is a cocktail recipe that requires a little more patience! We are going to work with some really cool ice cubes. For this you need “sphere” globes, special ice cube molds in the shape of a large ball. We fill the spheres with tonic and flower petals and freeze them in parts. I wanted to freeze the gin first but realized that this is not possible because of the high alcohol percentage! So then the tonic, you lose the “fizz” in this cocktail because of the lack of carbon dioxide in the ball. But you do have the taste of the tonic. And we use a little more than just gin in the drink. This flower bomb gin tonic is a real picture on the table and will certainly do very well at parties. flowers in cocktails
You can start freezing the bulbs a while in advance. This offers the opportunity to start well in advance and you can stock up on these flower bombs, which can be used at any time. In addition, there are many other possibilities to experiment with freezing different shapes.
For example, by adding food coloring to the liquid before freezing, you can not only create fun colored spheres, but transform your creations into true works of art that add an extra sparkle to every meal. Add natural extracts for a subtle taste sensation that stimulates the senses, or use herbal infusions to add an extra dimension and depth to your project. With a touch of creativity and a love of taste, you can ensure that every bite is a party, perfect for sharing with friends and family, or treating yourself on a special occasion.
Consider freezing flowers or small fruits in the center for a surprising visual effect. The possibilities are indeed endless and provide an extensive scope for creativity and experimentation. This offers a wide range of applications, from gourmet desserts to unique cocktail garnishes.
