Edible Bath Bombs for Drinks! | How to Drink
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 чер 2024
- I'm gearing up for New Years Eve and I'm serving these Instant French 75's using Edible Bath Bombs (drink Bombs?) to drop at midnight!
I had this idea for a drink bomb, just like a bath bomb, but drinkable. Something you could serve alongside a nearly complete drink to your guest and then have them drop them into the glass at midnight (like the ball from Times Square) to complete the cocktail. I did a bunch of research and tinkering and came up with this, the Drink Bomb, or Drink Fizzer, or Cocktail Ball (hate that one). Anyway, it's a package of purely edible ingredients that work in a cocktail anyway and when dropped into a liquid react and fizz just like a bath bomb. I think there's definitely better recipes using this technique that you can develop, so I'm offering this as a kind of jumping off point. I'm super interested in what better things you do with it!
Cocktail Bomb Batch (makes 15 -20)
7 oz. or 200 G Citric Acid
10.5 oz. or 300 g Baking Soda
14 oz. or 400 g sugar
~.5 oz. or 15 ml. assorted bitters
.2 oz. or 5 g Gum Acacia
a pinch of gold luster
mix to wet sand consistency
form with molds
Countdown Cocktail
.5 oz. or 15 ml. Cocchi Americano
2 oz. or 60 ml. London Dry Gin
Stir over ice
Serve up in wide glass
garnish with rosemary
drop in cocktail fizzer

I dont suppose you could tell us where you got the copper rimmed glasses that are in some of your thumbnails and intros?
Gross
I feel sorry for your new year's guests, "nope, it's two minutes past, drink up and go home!"
Hey Greg, Need Citric Acid for cheap? Go to a homebrewing supply store, they always have pounders
How To Drink you had me at Tom Collins goes to 11 🔥
If you only watch the intros of these videos it's the story of a bartender cursed by a witch, and every drink he tries to make turns into an old fashioned.

"If you have a kid who plays with kinetic sand."
You underestimate my capacity to enjoy small things like that.
Kiera Todd ajhahahahah
“Having à kid” is how you can get away with saying you play with the sand in todays society
Suggestions: Substitute the granular white sugar, with confectioner's sugar, as that will dissolve into the drink better. When mixing, drop your liquids into the bowl first, then hit it with the sugar, and then the rest of the ingredients, adding the baking soda last, in order to prevent excessive reaction.
Ouch it hurts inside
This is dope. Well done Greg!
Thanks man!
@stockart whiteman splish splash, your opinion is trash
Liefhebbers der Likeur that isn’t an opinion, it’s a fact, so your opinion is trash, and false
This is a good way to establish dominance just chomp down on one of these and people will be very intimidated
Stow it in your cheek like a chipmunk and it'll react in your mouth as you drink
Like a chippy with foaming at the mouth. Very intimidating

“Absinthe makes the heart grow fonder”
Is that an idkhow reference?
@@mini5701 idk, but I took it as a play on the old phrase "absence makes the heart grow fonder" which was the old wisdom that spouses love each other the less they see each other.
@@tleam88 oh ahaha in the song "absinthe" by the band "i dont know how but they found me" (wich u def should check out) made the same play on words, and i thought it was a reference:))
@@mini5701 I did too, and immediately came to see the comments
I love the editor
3, 2, 1, HAPPY NEW Y-alright everybody out
If I ever did a New year's party I think I would do that
Pro tip from a bath bomb maker: the less water that you have in the binding, the less they’ll react when you’re mixing. I use pure alcohol to bind.
Smart
Does that mean you need the water for the reaction? So lower alcohol content would be reccomendeded for the actual drink?
Ironic, he could entice others to drinking but not himself
Wait but water wasn’t used at all in these. I’m confused. Are you saying instead of the bitters you add water? Cuz that’s where all the flavour comes from
sticksandstones713 maybe a little. I’d drop my bitters right on the bomb before I put it in the drink
I'm totally considering virgin versions that would be fruit flavored, probably those dry Crystal Light powders. For fizzy lemonade for my kids.
You could use alcohol for the fizzers, it will all evaporate when they dry.
I still have some freeze-dried fruit powders, wondering how that would work in there
Crystal light and the others already have some citric acid in there, so you’d have to adjust the recipe a bit. I’ve made regular bath bombs before, and water alone will work to bind them. I think this would be really cool with some blue butterfly pea flower in there, since it would also change color when added to an acid like lemonade.
Fizzy lemon? Such a classic
You should make a drink called the golden snitch and use a bomb as a snitch, maybe even try the mini jet thing you talked about
Alternatively, you could rename the Golden Snitch as "6ix9ine"
@@randylahey8434 lmfao
Bear in mind that some of the citric acid you add will react with spirits, specifically ethanol to form Triethyl citrate which is also known as E-1505 and used as a food safe plasticizer for making foams etc (a stabilizer basically). It won't harm you but im pretty sure but worth knowing as it might decrease the ABV of your drink.
Oh dang. I both love the science of this comment and curse the fact that this bomb thing has less utility than I thought.
As someone who makes bath bombs, here's a simple hack to avoid activating the citric acid and baking soda prematurely. Mix the wet ingredients into the baking soda first and combine with citric acid last. Less activation during mixing means more fizz in the final product. :)
Thank you ...because mine just grow and grow😂🤦🏼♀️, I tried to put them in fridge so we will see
Dehydrated fruit powder for colour and flavour.
Pre 2020: CHEERS MATE!

"it's physics or something" - Greg 2019
The best thing about it is that physics will probably tell you that a ball shape is the worst possible shape for a fast-working drink-bomb. It is the shape with the worst surface-to-volume ratio for this
My boyfriend introduced me to your channel. Neither of us drink enough to keep up with all these recipes, but we went and bought a bunch of different liquors that you recommended anyway. It's going to take us years to get through them all. We are enjoying the process immensely.
I could see this working nicely in a 4th of July themed cocktail too. Maybe have a colored ball inside a white ball so it sprays out colors as it dissolves. Or a lemon drop cocktail that has the lemon flavoring in a ball that you drop into the glass. There are a lot of possibilities here.
You know what you get when you mix citric acid with sodium bicarbonate? It's homemade baking soda! The trick is to get the pH just right in the final product because sodium citrate (that's what causes the "salty" flavor if you go close to 50/50, it's a salt of citric acid) is a pretty neat buffer.
Greg, have you ever thought about making your own cocktail book? I would buy it in a heartbeat!
Every time he said “acacia” was different from the others. Exemplary.
Covering all his bases for angry commenters.
I dated a girl named Acacia for a while, and I can confirm that the correct pronunciation is different every time.
My friends have elected me as bartender at our New Years party, I’m making frosé 😁🎉
...might I recommend... Fireball dropballs, perhaps studded with redhot imperials? (Those little red cinnamon candies.) Seems like those would be fabulous in a frose'.
Kaotiqua I actually have quite a bit of fireball, you might be on to something here 🧐
@@mothmania1680 Oh man! If you do it, post a reply! I'd love to know how it turned out!
Make sure you master Greg's Macho-Man Randy Savage pronounciation of "frosé" from the frosé episode.
Did you do them? How did they go mine went terribly
Awesome season Greg but when are getting a Warhammer 40000 cocktail video? FOR THE EMPEROR!!
Fenrisian ale perhaps?
COCKTAIL FOR THE COCKTAIL GOD! GARNISH FOR THE GARNISH THRONE!
@@stepanpapez hmm... Almost sounds like Heresy... You're on thin ice buddy
Butcher nails as a cocktail would be cool
Amasec? Spiked Re-Caf? Soylens Viridiens?
Great stuff! An interesting note: LUSH holds a patent on the dual-layer bomb inside a bomb technique. So don't go trying to sell them if you make them that way.
Wonder if you’d be able to get away with it since the patent probably doesn’t cover this style.
There is a lot of “PHRASING!” Moments this episode.
You keep outdoing yourself in creativity, Greg. This is awesome
The richest flavors always derive from balls.
In all seriousness this is THE coolest drink I have seen this year. Congrats.
new merch/t-shirt: “Absinthe makes the heart grow fonder”
This is awesome. I can already imagine the crazy practicality and flair of this for any party
Thank you so much for this year, Greg. Your videos and your videos only were what got me interested in cocktails and bartending. Now I finally have a job I'm interested in. You were what started it all. Your videos are fantastic. Informative, entertaining and impressive. Props to you for getting this man interested in cocktails from zero. Here's to another year. Cheers!
I came for the drink, stayed for the hilarious edits. And Greg.
This is by far the coolest way to mess with the algorithm I've ever seen, give it a day and all of the crafty wine moms will be here in droves. PS if you spray the wet mix in with a spritzer it won't react as much so you'll have more reaction in the drink, you can also add herbs on the inside of the mold that'll look pretty on the outside of your bomb and act as a garnish.
"i like Ford's here"
If there comes a day when you don't use Ford's for your LDG I'll eat my hat.
Greg: I’ll be back new year’s eve, I’ve got something pretty crazy in the works
(Last two videos involved juggling fire between two metal mugs and a bath bomb)
Me: (buckles self in and holds fire extinguisher on lap) Bring it on, Greg!
Roflmao I don't know how I missed this comment before but that is freaking hilarious
The tasting notes always give me new life.
Every time.
You know that you are in a watchlist now, right? The title has "how", "to" and "bomb", also, i just wrote this too so i'm in the watchlist with you, hi neighbor
More of these for the holidays please!!! This is fantastic
You are my go to man when I want to learn how to Bartend, I thank you for being such a friendly host and you have yourself a lovely new year :)
I am always entertained and intoxicated by your videos. Very much enjoy them and love your cheeky sense of humor. Keep being your wonderful self and keep liquoring us up.
Have a great New Year and thank you for all the excellent content released this year!!
A large spinning one would be cool in a punch bowl
perfect idea for NYE! I can envision a kid friendly version too (non-alcoholic)
These drink bombs should work well, with perhaps some change in flavoring, in apple juice for a kid friendly version. In straight water I'm thinking almost a fizzy tang drink.
hanelyp1 GREAT IDEA
Are you sure you want to give your kids "Instant ball droppers"?
Is alchohol not kid-friendly?... uh-oh...
Hey Greg, how are you doing? Have you ever heard of Call Of Duty Black Ops Zombies? There's a drink called JuggerNog. I would love to see a video about COD drinks.
Keep the good content!!
Hugs from Brazil.
Now THERE'S an idea
Looking into Perkacolas actually
eae brasil so brabeza
@@howtodrink easy just drop 10 perc 30s into some coke
"The flavor is in the balls" 😂😂😂😂😂😂
All the best in the new year Greg, thanks for a 2019 full of great videos!
Just recently found this channel. It makes me want to give up beer entirely and buy some materials & start making cocktails! Love the content dude! Kudos to you & all involved!
I am so glad i cane across this channel. Every video you make is absolutely amazing. Informative, educational, and pretty damn funny. Keep it up!
Please keep us updated on your ball experiments. Thank you for your work.
With your sense of humor, your easy going nature and your capacity to make terrific drinks, your wife must be the happiest person on the planet :) cheers, my friend
"a man screaming in the woods" - yep, thats a turkey call... LOL
This is awesome!
i am very excited to fail at this a few dozen times until i figure it out myself!
Happy New Years bud!!!!
Greg going above and beyond as always
Two thumbs way for Spinal Tap reference in the tasting notes!
Happy New Year, Greg and HTD Team! Woohoo!!! 🍸👍👍
I want a revisit! I'd love to see what you've come up with after a year+
Dude, super badass! I'm definitely going to try this.
I love it! I want to try this and keep you posted. It's great.
2 years later and they still look absolutely delicious.
Happy new year brah! Great vid!
Catching up on videos I missed while I'm jogging and gdi for making me laugh right at the start with your ball dropping. 🤣😂
Happy New Year to everyone at How To Drink! Thanks for a great year of videos! Looking forward to 2020!
You have a great voice, easy to understand
(Thanks for the content) I want to make this now
New Years
Happy New Years to Greg and everyone at HTD!
This is an excellent idea! Looking forward to more ideas on these as they would be awesome gifts! Something that bath bomb makers do is use a spray bottle to spritz instead of dropping the liquid in when making the ‘sand’. You definitely have my brain going with potential ideas: citrus zest, lavender blossoms, rose petals, espresso powder...separate concepts there. I am so glad I stumbled upon your channel! You have fantastic ideas that I am thoroughly enjoying!
I’d love to see an attempt of this in a whiskey sour lol also love this channel so damn much ive been binging every video for the past 3 days or so xD
I'd like to see a behind the scenes episode, your production value is far beyond many on UA-cam and it'd be awesome to see how you put this all together.
Cheers
It’s something I’ve done live on twitch actually, sorta depends on a few factors when I’m shooting if I decide to flip the live stream on or not
@@howtodrink I didnt have a chance to catch it, but I'll take a look. Thanks for the reply and Happy New Year!
This is a great idea. If I were throwing a New Year's Eve party, I'd be doing this.
This is a great video to start my day off with
I just found this channel and love it! Can you please do a video on how you make your b roll! It’s literally the best on UA-cam!
I totally see this complementing Mezcal incredibly well! Mix up a chocolate/chili pepper bitters to give it a smoky Xoaxaca chocolate flair. Switch out for brown/coconut sugar, cinnamon/nutmeg spices...just wow.
Angel Torres I’ve been thinking about doing a chocolatey version of these but I’m worried the citric acid will make it too sour and citrusy to make chocolate work. Do you agree? Anything you would do to change that?
We need more of these!
"It takes a second to get going."
I hope that's not a metaphor for the Happy in this Happy New Year, cause so far its not that great lol. Needing this channel more than ever.
Seems like the perfect thing for Jager Bombs!
Damn, this guy adds art to the drinking.
As a bath bomb creator I applaud you and thank you for reinventing a great use for my molds as well as my citric acid! This will be an adventure thank you for this and happy New year to you!
Saw your Lobe Blaster video with the butterfly pea blossom gin before I watched this video and I got thinking, the spectacle of the drink bomb and the colour change together would make for a great video, and you’d have no need for the lemon juice as the citric acid will create the reaction. Anyway, love the vids, keep them coming.
❤️❤️❤️ Pretty ballsy episode.😊🎉🎊
My bf and I love you and your videos, and I adore lush so cheers to this video! Were sipping on a cinnamon toast crunch cocktail 😁 Keep up the awesome vids!
Who disliked this video?! This is quite a fun and inventive way to enjoy a drink. Keep up the great work Greg!
happy new year!
Whoever wrote, "Absinthe makes the heart grow fonder" needs a raise.
It's an old, old joke. But used perfectly by the tasting notes.
love the spinal tap reference
I hope we get to see some of those ideas later in the year. Best of luck.
How cool and creative!
YO THIS GUY KNOWS IDKHOW AND IM SO HAPPY ABOUT THAT REFERENCE
This is super fun!
Coool! I had no idea, looking forward to trying your balls.
the balls THE balls!
Nice I like it u could call it the ball drop cocktail and I will try this one yr grate way to bring in the new decade happy New year
Awesome how you have Campari our! A Campari on the rocks with a blood orange wedge is my fav!
Sounds like next years drink bombs could be memorable. These looked pretty cool.
Greg this is great, good idea hope it blows up and you get that UA-cam revenue
Such an awesome idea!
Video starts...he starts singing...from the other room of my house "babe, shut up! You cant sing so stop trying!"
I guess we sound the same. Lol
Lovely invention.
