In 1986, the band Timbuk 3 released the song, “The Future’s So Bright, I Gotta Wear Shades“. In that song there is a lyric, “Fifty thou a year will buy a lot of beer”. But just how much beer would $50k buy? Also, how much would that much beer be worth now?
In the ongoing saga of designing siphons for making layered drinks, we have previously presented the Mk II mini siphon for making two-layer shots, which works quite well. However, the nature of the self-starting siphon means that the volume of each pour is fixed.
But what if there were a way to modify the volume of the pour so a three-layer shot could be made?
Since our previous attempts at 3D printing a siphon to make a layered beverage, there have many advancements in the world of 3D printing, the most significant of which is the release of the Prusa XL with its multiple print heads. So, we figured it was high time to try printing some new siphons with newer technologies.
Here we try to make a new, hopefully better, version of the mini siphon for making layered shots.
Dalgona coffee: fluffy, caffeinated, photogenic, and… exhausting? With claims it can take an obscene amount of whisking to make, we wondered what factors influenced the amount of time needed to make this novel beverage.
From time to time we plan on performing a form of taste test, called a triangle test. What follows is the basic framework that will be used in those future tests.
We’ve been here before, but this time we have some new orange liqueurs to try out, so let’s do a taste test!
In honor of National Margarita Day, we decided to do science to margaritas. We actually did this science last year, but apparently never finished this post.
We previously looked at how to add foam to the to the Trump, but honestly, not very many kitchens are stocked like that of the primary testing facility.
Having previously developed a theme drink to represent Trump for election night. This week we plan on calibrating the ratios of ingredients for a drink to represent Clinton.
This presidential election cycle we are attempting to design two theme drinks that will be consumed on election night. Last week we determined the ratio of primary ingredients. This week we tested possible methods for giving the drink a frothy head to represent Trump’s trademark hair.
