The Pearls can only be made with a special kit designed by French mixologist Fernando Castellon. There are currently only 20 kits in the United States -- and only eight of them are behind bars (in the hands of very carefully selected bartenders) where they can be used to create scientifically delicious cocktails for the public.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.luxist.com/2009/08/15/cointreau-spherification-tiny-pearls-of-booze/"><div align="center"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.luxist.com/img/A6374C62-DC08-49B9-9496-A7216A5A7B5C" alt="Cointreau Pearls" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.luxist.com/2009/08/15/cointreau-spherification-tiny-pearls-of-booze/">The process of making the pearls, called "spherification," was designed specially for Cointreau as, due to its unique natural sugar content and pH level, it can be turned into "Cointreau caviar" (which is what it looks like) without the use of chemicals which would alter the flavor of not only the liqueur pearls, but of whatever cocktail they're dropped into. The pearls are made with just Cointreau, Evian (because it has the right calcium levels), and "sphere gel," which is vegan -- no gelatin like you find in other pearl formulas.</blockquote><div style="border-bottom: solid 1px #dcdcdc; white-space: nowrap; margin-bottom: 8px; background-color: #eeeeee ;background-image: url(http://clipmarks.com/images/source-bg.gif); background-repeat: repeat-x; height: 24px; line-height: 24px; vertical-align: middle; padding-bottom: 4px; color: #666666; font-size: 10px;" ><a href="http://clipmarks.com/clip-to-blog/" title="see clips that are hot right now"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/clip-icon.gif" alt="" width="19" height="19" border="0" style="vertical-align: middle; margin: 0px 4px; display: inline; border: none; float:none;" /></a>clipped from <a title="http://www.copytaste.com/qc3b7ee3" href="http://www.copytaste.com/qc3b7ee3" style="font-size: 11px;">www.copytaste.com</a></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.copytaste.com/qc3b7ee3"><DIV class="postInfo"><UL><li style="margin-left:16px;padding-left: 0px;"><B></B></LI> </UL> </DIV> <DIV class="clear"> </DIV> <DIV class="pg-1 asd"> <DIV> <P><IMG alt="" src="http://www.copytaste.com/Media/Image/251e27d3-d057-4bec-ada6-cc574a64b7d4.jpg" /></P></DIV></DIV></blockquote><div style="border-bottom: solid 1px #dcdcdc; white-space: nowrap; margin-bottom: 8px; background-color: #eeeeee ;background-image: url(http://clipmarks.com/images/source-bg.gif); background-repeat: repeat-x; height: 24px; line-height: 24px; vertical-align: middle; padding-bottom: 4px; color: #666666; font-size: 10px;" ><a href="http://clipmarks.com/clip-to-blog/" title="see clips that are hot right now"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/clip-icon.gif" alt="" width="19" height="19" border="0" style="vertical-align: middle; margin: 0px 4px; display: inline; border: none; float:none;" /></a>clipped from <a title="http://www.luxist.com/2009/08/15/cointreau-spherification-tiny-pearls-of-booze/" href="http://www.luxist.com/2009/08/15/cointreau-spherification-tiny-pearls-of-booze/" style="font-size: 11px;">www.luxist.com</a></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.luxist.com/2009/08/15/cointreau-spherification-tiny-pearls-of-booze/"><P><STRONG>Gallery: <A href="http://www.luxist.com/photos/making-cointreau-pearls-at-sen/">Making Cointreau Pearls at Sen</A></STRONG></P><A href="http://www.luxist.com/photos/making-cointreau-pearls-at-sen/2205282/"><IMG title="Derek Nielsen " alt="Derek Nielsen " src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.luxist.com/media/2009/08/cimg6552_thumbnail.jpg" /></A><A href="http://www.luxist.com/photos/making-cointreau-pearls-at-sen/2205291/"><IMG title="Step 1." alt="Step 1." src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.luxist.com/media/2009/08/cimg6558_thumbnail.jpg" /></A><A href="http://www.luxist.com/photos/making-cointreau-pearls-at-sen/2205271/"><IMG title="Step 2." alt="Step 2." src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.luxist.com/media/2009/08/cimg6539_thumbnail.jpg" /></A><A href="http://www.luxist.com/photos/making-cointreau-pearls-at-sen/2205275/"><IMG title="Alternate Step 2" alt="Alternate Step 2" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.luxist.com/media/2009/08/cimg6554_thumbnail.jpg" /></A><A href="http://www.luxist.com/photos/making-cointreau-pearls-at-sen/2205288/"><IMG title="Step 3." alt="Step 3." src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.luxist.com/media/2009/08/cimg6544_thumbnail.jpg" /></A></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/DDCD149A-4BD2-412F-898E-E0EC2205AE87/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
