A) How do you make a smoke bubble? 1. Have the Right Kit
* You'll need a small bowl or jigger to pour out your bubble solution, ready for use.
* A small vessel for water large enough to dip a glass in (or a nearby sink).
* Pre-prepared glassware. For the best bubbles, use glasses with an open angle on the lip, like a martini glass.
* You'll need your cocktail ingredients prepped and ready.
* Your Culi Cocktail Bubble Gun Kit including the fully charged gun, edible bubble mixture, and your choice of aromatic.
2. Prepare Your Workspace
* Is your coil tank full and primed for use? If not, follow the easy steps in our video guide.
* Do you have enough bubble mixture for your experiment or a busy shift?
* Do you need to organise your workstation to suit high volumes of service? (if so, check out our space organising tools)
* Are you standing by a fan or near an open window? This may make your bubble float in a direction you don't want.
3. Ready to Serve
* Rim the lip of the glass with water to make sure it is wet all the way around.
* Make the cocktail and pour it into the serving glass.
* Activate the gun by pulling the trigger three times within two seconds.
* Choose your power setting (Simone, our co-creator suggests trying between 30-35 Watts to begin with).
* Dip your Flavour Blaster nozzle in the edible Bubble X and let any excess roll-off.
* Hold the nozzle about a centimetre away from the drink’s surface.
* Pull the trigger to release the aromatic vapour.
* Fill the bubble as much as necessary for your required effect.
* Draw the Flavour Blaster away to gently leave the bubble resting on the cocktail.
* Turn the gun off by pulling the trigger three times in two seconds.
4. Know Your Limitations
* The bubble maker won't work on a glass rimmed with anything textured, like salt on a margarita, for example.
* It may not work if there's lots of ice or foam on the surface of the cocktail.
* Make sure the glassware is clean, as dirt may change the structure of the bubble.
* Keep your Bubble at room temperature as heat can also change the structure of the mixture.
* Its best to serve your bubbles on cold or chilled cocktails as a warm glass may make your bubble pop.
5. Practice Makes Perfect!
* Keep at it!
* When you're ready, take a look at all the tricks people use worldwide, with floating bubbles, double bubbles, unusual serves and sophisticated aroma pairings.
B) Is bubble solution ediable?
Yes. It includes ingredients like Carboxymethylcellulose — a gum that provides the viscosity necessary to create the tension for the wall that forms the bubble. It's extracted from plant cellulose — the main substance in the walls of plant cells that stops them going limp; Citric Acid — a natural derivative from citrus fruits, this organic compound is used as an emulsifier and preserving agent; and Coco Betaine, a surfactant compound from coconut oil that lowers the surface tension between two liquids, in this case, edible bubble mixture ingredients and water, allowing for a bubble to form when you blow, or in our case, blast into it.
C) Difference with traditional smoke bubble gun
1. The old smoking method is to smoke by burning wood.
2. Ours uses Michelin Molecular gastronomy and uses glycerin malonate and edible essence to make atomization.
D) Precautions
1. Not completely waterproof, be careful with liquids 2. When invading the bubble liquid, only intrude the top of the nozzle, not the whole 3. Do not tilt the body back
4. Do not pour liquid into the tank
5. Wash after each use
6.When the smoke is obviously
sticky, it means that the atomizing core has been aged, please replace the atomizing core in time
