the ec cream whipper was originally
designed for whipped cream but it has a
lot of really cool cocktail applications
as well it's essentially a stainless
steel vessel that you can fill with
various ingredients and then inject gas
cartridges into in this video we're
going to be using only the nitrous oxide
gas chargers instead of the carbon
dioxide ones and we'll use these to do a
rapid infusion technique as well as make
some delicious phones and for these
recipes we're going to be using the half
liter size of the ICI liber8 that I can
only recommend using the ICI brand of
whippers because they are very high
quality with lots of built-in safety
mechanisms ok first up is the rapid
nitrous infusion method pioneered by the
great Dave Arnold this method allows us
to use the nitrous oxide gas to extract
flavors out of solids and into liquids
in a matter of seconds as opposed to
days or weeks with traditional infusion
methods the liquid we're gonna use here
is gin which is a good choice for the
infusion because it's clean flavored
allowing it to pair well with this fresh
turmeric turmeric is in the same family
as ginger and is a great choice for
these rapid infusions because it's
porous aromatic colorful and flavorful
we don't want to use powdered turmeric
in this case because it's going to clog
the nozzle your solid ingredient needs
to be porous so that the liquid can be
forced inside of it to extract the
flavor and so citrus coffee ginger and
peppers are examples of solids that will
work well now in order for the liquid to
get into these pores we need to create a
lot more surface area so we've taken our
100 grams of fresh turmeric and chopped
it into about 2 milliliter thick slices
now there's certainly an easier way to
get this stuff into the whipper and note
that you should probably wear gloves
when dealing with turmeric because it
will stain anything it touches
and then we're gonna add 500 milliliters
of our plymouth gin into the whipper if
you don't have Plymouth then I'd
recommend using a dry gin screw the top
on very tight then take the first of
your nitrous oxide chargers insert it
into the charger holder and then twist
until you hear that satisfying sound
shake it for a couple seconds and then
we're actually going to add a second
nitrous-oxide charger to increase the
pressure and flavor extraction we're now
at about three hundred and sixty psi or
25 bars of pressure inside and after
giving that another shake we're gonna
let it sit for exactly two and a half
minutes the pressure has forced the gin
inside the turmeric and now we're gonna
rapidly discharge the pressure to
extract the flavor a little liquid will
come out during this process so make
sure to discharge it into a cup like
this and oh that's a lot more liquid
than I expected turns out when you put
this much liquid inside the whipper
you're gonna want to have a bowl ready
to catch any excess that comes out so
we've lost a little of the good stuff
but that's okay
once you've fully discharged all the gas
then unscrew the top and give it a
listen you'll notice some of the gases
bubbling that's the sound of more flavor
being extracted you're gonna want to let
this sit for at least a minute to let
that process work out then grab a funnel
and your fine mesh strainer and pour all
the liquid out of the EC whipper into a
sealable bottle the bright beautiful
color tells you that this infusion was a
success store this infusion in the
fridge where it will taste best within
about a week after which the flavors
will begin to go flat and the color will
dull now to highlight the turmeric
flavor we're gonna make a simple
cocktail from Dave's book called the Glo
sour starting with 3/4 of an ounce or
about 22 millilitres of fresh lime juice
to that we're gonna add just under 3/4
of an ounce or 20 mils of simple syrup
and then 2 ounces or 60 mils of our
turmeric infused gin to brighten up the
flavors we're gonna add 3 drops of
saline solution or a pinch of salt and
finally 2 dashes of orange bitters add
to a shaker tin with ice shake for about
15 seconds and then double strain into a
chilled coupe glass while this cocktail
certainly is good to look at how does it
taste
while the flavor is fantastic its
aromatic it is earthy I love this
cocktail in fact it was so good I
finished the whole thing and actually
had to take a break before this next
cocktail for the video making a
delicious foam using the creme whipper
this recipe comes from Jeffrey Morgan
thaller and we're gonna begin by making
a classic margarita starting with 1
ounce or 30 milliliters of fresh lime
juice to that we're gonna add another
ounce or 30 mils of fresh lemon juice
then one ounce or 30 mils of simple
syrup you might be picking up on a
pattern here and sure enough we're gonna
be adding another ounce or 30 mils of
triple sec and finally two ounces or 60
mils of a Blanco tequila add to a shaker
tin with ice shake for about 15 seconds
and double strain into a chilled rocks
glass so put that aside and we're now
gonna make what Jeffrey calls a Cadillac
foam grab a container and to that we're
gonna start by adding two egg whites
that have been lightly beaten then add
four ounces of fresh orange juice 2
ounces of Grand Marnier and about four
dashes of peach bitters add everything
to the ICI whipper seal it really tight
give it a quick shake to incorporate
everything and then charge it up with
your first canister of nitrous oxide
give it another shake and then just like
with the rapid infusion technique we're
gonna lock and load with a second
nitrous charger give it one final shake
and then instead of dispelling the gas
upright we're gonna turn it upside down
and layer on a nice bit of foam right on
top of the cocktail as the liquid leaves
the pressurized vessel the nitrous
expands giving us this beautiful foam
texture finish by garnishing with a bit
of red or black Hawaiian sea salt I
gotta say this cocktail is absolutely
delicious now if you'll excuse me I
gotta get my mustache back in here hope
you guys enjoyed this video if you want
to try these techniques at home I'll put
a link to the ICI whipper and nitrous
chargers in the description patreon
patrons also get a lot of bonus content
and for this video I made an extra rapid
infusion tutorial on how to infuse cocoa
nibs into vodka and I make a special
cocktail with it it is unbelievable
