For a couple of week,\u00a0we have started doing experiments in\u00a0molecular cuisine… Finally we are ready to prepare you our first recipe: Purple Spell<\/em>. This blueberry cocktail will amaze and delight your friends \ud83d\ude42 . In a base of vodka and ice, small molecular blueberry\u00a0float free… Just before drinking it, shake it and by magic your drink will turn deep purple.\"Purple<\/a>For the preparation of\u00a0Purple Spell<\/em> cocktail we used the technique of reverse Spherification, one of the basic techniques of molecular cuisine. According to this Spherification, you will have to pour a liquid that contains calcium\u00a0into a solution of sodium alginate. If the liquid that you want to turn into a ball does not contain calcium, like blueberry jam, you can add calcium gluconate; this “salt” is tasteless, so it will not alter the recipe in any way \ud83d\ude09 . The reaction between the calcium and sodium alginate creates a thin transparent membrane around the liquid content.

Once you have extracted the spheres from the sodium bath, the reaction will stop gelling, so you can prepare them in advance without worrying that the inside becomes solid. Do not leave them, however,\u00a0in a too dry environment, because the gelatinous membrane may crack; to preserve them for a long time you have to leave them immersed in a liquid.
Now after this long explanation, here’s the preparation of the purple spell blueberry cocktail \ud83d\ude00 .<\/p>\n
