Cocktail Recipe: Monin Pearls for Molecular Cocktails

Ingredients

Monin Pearls for Molecular Cocktails
The pearls used here can be bought packaged in boxes of 40 grams from Monin “les perles de saveurs (the pearls of flavors)” in various scents.
The mixologist who decides to make them himself will use for 12 portions of balls:
- 200 ml of Vittel mineral water
- 2 gr. of sodium alginate
- Using a mixer mix it all well and keep it in a plastic squeezer adapted for pouring drop by drop. Leave it to rest for an hour.
- Then add 5 cl. of syrup of your choice (N.B.: only the primary colors are relevant: red-blue-dark green)
- Prepare separately, in a good glass container, a bath with:
- 200 ml of Vittel water
- 4 gr. of Calcium lactate
- Mix well.
Pour the preparation Vittel+ Sodium alginate + drop-by-drop syrup in the bath prepared: the pearls form on contact between these two solutions.
Use a strainer to collect the pearls formed in this way, rinse them quickly in clean water before tasting them.
Monin uses the same procedure to make flavored pearls but on an industrial scale.
Creating this kind of molecular cocktail requires the establishment of a rigorous preparation: the pearls keep quite badly: they must be stored in quantities of 40/50 grams maximum to prevent them from being compressed and crushed.
In a cocktail bar, we advise the use of Monin pearls for molecular cocktails: the quality is very good and the packaging ideal.

Founded in 1912 by Georges Monin in Bourges, the Société Monin is now directed by Olivier Monin, the grandson of the charismatic founder. Today, with a presence in over 120 countries, the Monin syrup brand is recognized by professionals around the world for its quality. The company currently offers over 100 different flavors of syrup.

Monin makes its syrups from 100% pure sugar beets. Today, over 100 different syrup flavors are available. Almost 17 million bottles are produced each year, all flavors combined, which equals a consumption of 6,500 tons of sugar per year on the Bourges site.

The brand's syrups are made from natural flavors. In order to achieve this, the Société Monin relies on an exclusive flavor library, a sort of collection of flavors gathering together hundreds of natural essences and extracts from the town of Grasse.

Monin Pearls for molecular cocktails demonstrate the limitless possibilities of the product in mixology.
