  • Super Syrup a while ago, which allowed you to create silky vegan sours that were also quicker to make and you could even batch! But today we’re listening to your request as many of you asked to make Syrup Syrup without it being a syrup, so you’re not tied to using the exact amount of sweetness that you need of the foaming agent! We’ll test out our Super Foam in a classic Whiskey Sour, but we’ll also flavor it by rehydrating our methylcellulose with tea, allowing for a unique version of a White Lady, so if you’re ready pull up a chair and get comfortable - it’s Cocktail Time!

    Fantastic recipe! Made a batch right after watching and froze it into 3/4 oz cubes. They work perfectly straight from the freezer using Dave Arnold's juice shake technique. Shake one cube alone with the cocktail ingredients until dissolved, then add ice and shake as normal. They will be a staple in my freezer from now on.

  • @themightyowl
    @themightyowl 4 місяці тому +1

    Really good stuff Kevin! I was using the wrong methocel last time and now I have the right stuff 😊 Something to consider is that eggwhites do more than add texture. The proteins bind to tannins and will round out the taste of some cocktails (like milk in tea) but this is mostly applicable to barrel aged spirits.

    Super Foam just replaced egg whites at the bar I manage! I adjusted the recipe to have 25% less gum arabic (15g) as i found that with the full 20g the solution would come out a bit too thick and with a less than surgical measurement the cocktail would start to feel like it was thickened... also with 15g of gum arabic the super foam never actually separates which is a nice plus!!
    My only question is what would you say the shelf life of this solution is?
    And what would be the main indicators to look out for in order to diagnose that?

    Hi Kevin, I would appreciate some guidance. I followed your steps and also found that the super foam used in gin cocktails deteriorates rapidly, in my case within 90 seconds. Whiskey performed similarly when served in a coupe. The foam held up better in both cases in a cubed rocks glass, with whiskey outperforming gin by ~2 minutes. Upon pouring cocktails with super foam, I can hear the foam aggressively fizz to the point that it sounds like static, as all the micro bubbles are rapidly deteriorating. Is this something you also experienced, and if so, was it to a similar extent? Ideally in order to compete with the stability of egg white, the foam should at least 5 minutes undisturbed, if not more. Would love to hear your thoughts on this, thank you.
    Edit: Also, I am using the correct Methocel F50 from modernist pantry.

      I chose to skip this step and take a faster and easier approach because the shelf life of super foam is shorter than that of super syrup.

    Is the foam issue with the white lady abv based? I always struggled using egg whites to get good foam on a white lady since it has more booze in it than a whisky sour. My solution has been to simply do a quick shake sans egg white to get some dilution into the drink, then add egg, shake, strain, dry shake. It's annoying but it works. Since you're dry shaking all these anyway, is there really a reason to add the super foam to the cocktail during the first shake? Seems like you could just omit that, then eliminate the contact with the alcohol at a higher concentration (assuming the alcohol is the issue).

    Kevin, I have a question, we don't have to pre-soak the gum arabic?

    • @KevinKos
      @KevinKos  4 місяці тому +1

      I chose to skip this step and take a faster and easier approach because the shelf life of super foam is shorter than that of super syrup. The super syrup technique involves mixing sugar with xanthan and water, which needs time to settle down. During this time, I took the opportunity to hydrate gum arabic even better.

  • @nicolahohler3578
    @nicolahohler3578 4 місяці тому

    When I made the super syrup I combined that with Lemon Juice to make a sweet&sour. My confession is that I used store-bought lemon juice with a High shelf-life. I think that that, together with the sugar, gave the syrup a long shelf life, without having to add other preservatives. I might be wrong though

    Made and tried this a while ago for a ramos gin fizz. Turns out you can't get the pillar of foam using super foam as the foam collapses due to the soda water. Also depending on your gum arabic the color of the super foam may be different from the video (mine was orange-brownish after dissolving the gum arabic)

    Thank you for the video!
    I played around with it for a week or so and this is my thoughts.
    It won't 100% replace egg white's texture. For example, you can't really do the Angostura dots and such. So instead, Im making different flavored foam.
    combine 1/2oz each of the Super foam, water, and flavor (I'v been using stronger flavor stuff like Campari, Cynar, etc)
    then use a latte whisker and froth it until it becomes a foam. Let it sit on top of your cocktail.
    This way, you can easily whip up different flavored foams as you like and don't have to batch is it like the Gelatine and iSi canister method.
    Thank you.

    In my experience. Everything dissolves better if you use warm/hot water (80°) and then use a stick blender in a pot (leave the blending part on the ground of the pot and be careful not to mix in any air) Then leave it for 24 hours.
    I feel you can prepare a higher quantity with the stick blender in one pot then with the mixing plate

    I'm curious if methylcellulose or one of the gums would help the chickpea based foamers with their mouthfeel. I've tried them multiple times against eggs and the foam is good, but it separates into a dense head much faster than the egg based foam, and the mouthfeel is much thinner, doesn't have that silkyness that the eggs impart. To the chemistry set!!!

Also the faba foam does bring a touch of its own flavor, and at least the stuff I have is pretty dark so it affects the color of the resulting cocktail as well.
      I like the ease of the faba foamer being able to whip up a foamer without planning ahead but I'll probably use up what I have and switch to superfoam.
