They'd always pour in some of the juice from the jar of cherries. Can you suggest a good starting point for some cherry foam?

Very classy. The black sea salt is brilliant. This is not what I think of when it comes to Margaritas. Very classy. The black sea salt is brilliant.

There are a lot of advantages of creating layered effects to hit the palate at differnt times. I have found foams and powders the most practical without comprimising quality. Have you tried using lecithin as a solidifier? It does a great job of staying stable and eliminates the flavor of egg whites. There is a great lady name Fany Setiyo that owns LeSanctuaire in the LA area. She sells quality lecithin as well as a wide aray of stabilizers. 2710 Main Street Santa Monica, CA 90405 tel. 310.581.8999 fax. 310.581.8991 Great to see you deconastructing cocktails.

Something I've wanted to do for a while is take apart a Bloody Mary into its constituent pieces and tweak them - suspend the vodka in gelatin, turn the Worchestershire into a dust, foam the tomato, etc. I'll let you know if I come up with anything!

That looks awesome. I know nothing of foaming, but have you thought of using it to add savory flavors like basil or ginger to a drink?

The foam was richer and thicker than when I used just the one cartridge. Unfortunately I couldn't find nitrous oxide cartridges yesterday, but I think that if I could, the texture would have been even silkier. I found the consistency to be a lot more… consistent?
