PERLINI CARBONATED COCKTAIL SYSTEM
Posted: March 21, 2010 Filed under: Gadgets 1 Comment »This is one is a pretty interesting system that enables one to produce carbonated cocktails. I’ve done several ‘carbonated’ cocktails in the standard soda siphon with either carbon dioxide (CO2) or nitrogen (N2O) gasses, but have noticed that some siphons do not perform well in maintaing the effervescence. The Perlini shaker seems interesting as it enables you to shake the cocktail with the edition of CO2 and looks solid in securing the carbonation within the container.
I have yet the opportunity to meddle with this gadget, but if any of you do, please feel free to post your findings here!
Cheers!

Gordon & MacPhail recently launched the world’s oldest bottled single malt, the Mortlach 70. Presented in a rather contemporary tear drop shaped Glencairn crystal bottle, the content in this bottle is ‘historical’, with its oldest single malt dating back to 1938. This ex-sherry cask aged single malt from Elgin will set you back £ 10,000 and there’s only 54 bottles avaialble.
