Advanced Techniques - How To Make The "Fog Burner" 

Nick my man, you are some kind of sorcerer.

Gorgeous cocktail man! Awesome stuff! The effect of the smoke clinging to the sphere is wonderful

This is the most beautiful and excessive drink I have ever seen. I love it.

After 2 months of breaking shells, cocktails leaking out of imperfections in the shells, I can finally produce this cocktail for groups. Thanks for the demo.

Ever consider doing a video or even a small series on aromas? I think it would be interesting.

Wow. That is the most dramatic presentation yet!

Hey mate, I could tell you tried to amp up the personality to this video, and it really pays off. Great vid as always, and cheers from Australia.

You're no mixologist, you're a magician!

I've always hated alcohol mostly because of how I've seen my dad treat it and what it's done to him. I made a promise to myself very young I would never touch it and drink it, don't get me wrong I still won't drink it but I've been watching and seeing the art of how you can really make alcohol more than what it seems. Your videos just pushed me over the edge, I just want to create all sorts of fun experiments and artistic drink combinations with variations in presentation. you really changed my perspective on how alcohol doesn't always have to be a trashy addiction or just for the kids my age to act like they're adults or 21 cause we are 18. Thank you 😊 it's really cool what you do.

Yo. Hands down, this is my favorite video you have put out so far. It was quick, informative, and lovely. Best presentation of a cocktail. Enjoyed the little witty jokes too haha. Great job mate! So if I ordered this drink from you, being San Francisco and all, how much would you charge me? 😳 haha

Make more cocktails like this. The little story about San Francisco made it that much more interesting.

Red + Fog = Golden Gate on a foggy day! Nice hommage!

Can you smoke weed with the smoke gun?

I’m only 14 and I was looking and videos for what I would like to be when I get a career and this really is interesting and I would really enjoy becoming a mixologist so thank you for making me have a better understanding of mixology

Awesome video! Great creation, Nick!

Wow man, steady hands! I don't think I could ever make one but I love watching you make it. Cheers!

this video is kind of different from your others, more fast paced it feels like.

Im really enjoying the content recently, every video gets better and better :)

LOVE IT!!! As always, excellent work, Nick!!! A drink with tools is a drink indeed! Thank you for making my weekend!

I really love your cocktails you are a big inspiration for me ! Thank you from France !

3:18 cool bong.

You are a wizard,Nick

Great presentation! I loved that this was an original cocktail and you really put your personality in this video. One of your best!

I really enjoyed the new presentation style and bump in quality you debuted in this video. You really seem like you're starting to really fall into your element. One piece of input I might add is that I really enjoy these highly advanced videos even though I will most likely never make the drinks. I personally enjoy just watching the craftsmanship and presentation of these films. I would love to see more of these videos in the future.

These drinks are so perfect that I feel I should watch those videos with a better outfit.

What a beautiful, magical cocktail! What really sells it for me is the vacuum effect as you lift the glass. I like to use a portable vaporizer for my 'smoke'. The vapour does not last as long as wood smoke, but still more than long enough to create the cocktail and present it. It also doesn't stink up the room you prepare it in. One issue is that you need a pump to pull the vapour from the vaporizer, since your lungs usually perform that task. I just removed the filter from an old aquarium pump and it worked perfectly! There are hundreds of nicotine-free e-juice flavours to choose from, and hundreds more food grade aromas to easily mix your own with. Black currant, apple cider or passion fruit? Sure thing! Apple pie, chocolate chip cookie or vanilla custard? No problem. Walnut, espresso or Cuban cigar? You can have it all! There are even companies and home brewers creating aromas such as pizza, freshly mown lawn and leather.

This is the most alluring cocktail I've ever seen in my life. I need one for my 21st in a few weeks lmao

Had to sub loving these mixes

I need to test that drink

Nice, Bay area local, amazing presentation !

So beautiful there are no word for this one

awesome idea, love it!

Beautiful!

That's so crazy. Great video.

I really love this video ! Your ice sphere is so clear ! :)

Gorgeous.

Again, you are amazing.

I really like this one. The composition is art. If you ever come to Germany let me know, one drink will be on me :D (I think the music was a little obnoxious [not as classy and calm but the volume was good], I don't know if that was done on purpose - maybe to show the liveliness of the city?) Anyways, keep it up!

this was awesome

good job!! seems like you are talking at a faster pace. I like it a lot!

Amazing drink

I love the new style of commentary.

Aw! You sound much more comfortable in this video- it's more conversational and I like it :D This is a striking and lovely looking drink

Fabulous

too freaking cool!!!

You're a genious

Looks badass. Not going to lie. I will never make it but I enjoyed watching

Was this an original? Really cool stuff. One of my favorite videos of yours so far.

I really like that you use the ice ball shell! Any ideas on how to possibly add a cap to the shell after the spirits are added, such as to create a flavor bomb that, once melted, will completely change the drink?

You should definitely keep making your own cocktails and presentations like this, maybe one with a few less steps though

This is awesome, never seen something like this before. Bielefeld/Germany got an awful CocktailCultur

The money shot at the beginning of this video is seductive.

u know i am just 17 but i am impressed as hell and quite intrigued

i have an idea for a similar cocktail: do you know the experiment where you put a candle under a glass with water surrounding the glass? the water gets sucked in once the oxygen is gone. maybe do that but instead of the candle use some wood chip and, pour the cocktail outside. you get some smoke + the cool effect of the cocktail getting sucked in.

Lovely work! How much smoky flavour does the smoke add to the cocktail? I like a smoky Negroni, I serve mine on the rocks with smoked ice.

Fancy AF!

would it be fine if i dropped the shell in the smoked glass and make it like a smash? or too much smokiness?

Would very much like to see this be made at a busy bar somewhere :D

The ice ball can last longer once the cocktail is served if you have cooled all the liquid below 0°C before filling it. Since it's an alcoholic cocktail the freezing point will be much lower than ice temperature.

your vids remind me it's friday

I was just on a trip to sanfrancisco

Best weedsmoking machine ever!

So how much does one of those cost when I'd buy one?

DAMN, that shit is cool.

Would it unduly hamper the process of making this cocktail if one was to slightly dampen the opening of the jigger, and then after placing the iceball, freezing the 2 for a minute or so to make the iceball slightly more stable? I see myself getting to the penultimate step and then knocking the half-filled ball off xD

some of these liquids for the drinks are not in the liquor stores where i live ☹

Do you have issues with the smoke and your smoke detectors?

Man holy shit could you imagine how expensive it would be to get drunk at a bar that serves this type of shit...this drink probably like 20$ at a bar lol

@cocktailchemistry a Facebook page called Fortfy stole your video and put it on their page. I feel like you should know.

I can't even drink, but these are so cool

How do you get your smoking gun to produce such a full and steady stream of smoke? When I ignite my chips, there is an initial burst of dense smoke, which quickly peters out. Any tips? I'm having trouble filling my glass with that thick, dense smoke.

cool effect but I would recommend using more freezing cold surfaces. Cold air stays still and sinks downward, keeping the smoke with it. if the bowl were cold as well as the delivery container, it'd behave more like a fog, sticking low. also, using the same idea you can really have some fun with vapor. (yes, like ecig vapor but minus nicotine)

Loved this!! I so need to pick up a smoking gun for some whiskey creations :)

I love the Ice ball, as always, but is it really necessary in this case? Presentation is always a big deal, but the ball itself presents so many points of failure and then you are down one delicious drink. I would also suggest serving this drink hot; in fact, you can use this hot drink to create real fog if you freeze the wine glass, and do away with the smoke and fire hazard.

Did you try the "Funnel method" which you used in the "Smoke Bomb" to smoke the glass? (I'm just trying to be cheap and avoid buying a smoke gun. ;) )

Can you please show cocktail recipe with Heston-style mixology techniques? There is a cocktail bar called Alchemist in UK and their cocktail can change color or has extreme fog, like chemistry class in Hogwarts :D

Where can I buy that smoke machine??

The backing music sounds like it's from a Sim City game.

Correct me if I'm wrong but: would it be a huge deal if you were to jsut puncture the ball with something and then clear the water out by holding it upside down? The siringe seems like an unnecessary step here.

Hey Nick, First, that framerate is the solution to all problems of the world. Second, I had an idea for you, could you do videos on different cocktails that are present all around the world? As in, what cocktail is synonymous with what country. Third, if ever come to India and you must, just remember to lemme know, drinks and food on me, cool? Also, as always, great video.

Really dumb question from someone who doesn't make cocktails, but I still wanna ask Why not freeze the stemless wine glass to cool the smoke down so that you get theoretically more smoke?

The smoking gun. What a tool name!

made me think of a "fog blaster" from star wars

pro-tip, freeze the glass as well, it will hold the smoke better

That looks like a Jeb! guac bowl

Seems like maybe I'm the only one, but I like the more laid back attitude you normally have; the tone here felt a bit like you're trying too hard. Your creations speak for themselves!

Can I get a beer please?

Hey man, I've got a question for you if you don't mind. Recently a friend of mine gave me a nice bottle of scotch for my birthday because he knew I liked to drink scotch on the rocks. Only problem is, he didn't remember that I'm actually a bourbon guy lol. This scotch is incredibly smokey, and I can hardly stand to drink it on its own, but I don't want to waste it. Might there be any cocktails you suggest I utilize it in?

MILK PLUS ! From a clockwork Orange.

For the smoke part..a nice rip from any decent vape will get the job done hahaha #Cloudz

If you wanted to be even more excessive you could add some dry ice into the dish for some extra smokiness

I'm doing a lot of smoking! I also have lung cancer

Imagine filling that smoke gun with weed

You have outdown yourself again Cocktail Chemistry!!!!

nice but fuck the wood chips & use some GSC buds !!!! 😂

exelent presentation but I was let down by the way It was accomplished. I though you were gonna give us some chemical reactions for the "fog"

I'm not even old enough to drink. Why am I here? Eh, might as well learn somw fancy stuff for later.

Serve this to JJ Abrams.

What the fuck is a straw

I made it yourself thanks to woodprix plans. I think it's the best way to learn how to build it in the cheapest way.
