Improved Smoke Bomb Cocktail

Hey y'all, I'm doing a giveaway on my Instagram page to win a free Smoking Gun ($100), check it out: https://instagram.com/p/Bc48fEEAzS5/


My original Smoke Bomb video is one my most popular, but it involved a very clumsy method of getting smoke into a hollow ice ball shell. This improved method uses the Smoking Gun, which is significantly easier.

Sneak preview of the new logo!

Hey Patrons, wanted to give you all a sneak peak of the new logo for Cocktail Chemistry. I've gone through a couple design contests and was never satisfied with the results. I wanted to get away from the literal interpretation of cocktail + chemistry that my old logo had. 

I feel this logo does a better job of keeping the reference to cocktails while incorporating the letters CC. It's more on brand with where I want to take the channel. 

Hope you like it, I'll be rolli...

Patron goals update, we're now in 4k resolution!

I've also added a new goal of 650 patrons, lofty I know but this would enable me to put out a video each week (twice as much content as I currently create).

This show has been sustained by the amazing support of this group, and it...

Recreated - "Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster" from Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy

MY AMAZON STORE: https://www.amazon.com/shop/cocktailchemistry


The Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster is considered by the Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy to be the "best drink in existence". While almost impossible to make on planet Earth, I needed to see if its effects really are similar to "having your brains smashed in by a slice of lemon wrapped round a large gold brick."

I'm building you guys a cocktail calculator this week

Hey team!

Apologies for the delay in new videos this past week, I've been underwater with work. 

But I'm excited for this week's video where I release a new tool you can use to build balanced cocktails by easily calculating the ethanol, acidity, and sweetness of your drink. 

It's based on some research from Dave Arnold's Liquid Intelligence, and it's pretty awesome. Should have it over to the early access Patrons on Thursday, rest on Friday. Stay tuned!
