    New York Times Dining Section article on Cointreau Spherification Kit
    Flickr photoset of the kit

    Bartenders at select NYC bar joints (including PDT, Death & Co, Angel’s Share, Employees Only) will be taught spherification technique and given a kit (priced at $1450) from Cointreau.

    Seems to be sodium alginate and calcium lactate (and gold flecks, for extra bling). The killer part is the dispenser-tool that would speed and simplify the dripping of the pearl-solution into the setting bath.

    Have any of us played with sodium alginate + calcium spherification? (does anyone want to? I want to)
    Is this the apotheosis of the jello shot?
    Is caviar-ed liqueur a garnish or an ingredient?
