Molecular Margarita
A modern take on the classic Margarita, using spherification to create lime caviar pearls.
Ingredients:
2 oz tequila
1 oz agave syrup
0.5 oz triple sec
1.5 oz water
1 g sodium alginate
500 ml water
5 g calcium chloride
Lime juice for spherification
Salt, for rimming the glass
Lime wheel, for garnish
Instructions:
Prepare the spherification bath by dissolving 5 g of calcium chloride in 500 ml of water.
Mix 1.5 oz of water with 1 g of sodium alginate to create the base for the lime juice spherification.
Add the lime juice to the sodium alginate mixture and blend until smooth.
Using a dropper, drop the lime juice mixture into the calcium chloride bath. Let the pearls sit for about 3 minutes to form.
Rinse the pearls with water to remove any excess calcium chloride.
Fill a shaker with ice, add the tequila, agave syrup, and triple sec, and shake until well chilled.
Strain into a salt-rimmed glass.
Add the lime caviar pearls to the drink.
Garnish with a lime wheel.
