I posted a thread a few months back about distilling and it turned into an interesting conversation, to say the least. Somewhere in there I asked about the freeze beer/cider to get a higher alcohol content drink, kinda like backwards distilling I guess. A few folks said it was illegal. But, after reading the following, I'm not sure anymore. I was reading about REALLY expensive cocktails, ranging from $30 - $1500 for 1 drink. Here is the description of one of those drinks:
Sin-sation
Below-Zero Nitro Bar
Barton G. The Restaurant, Miami
$32
Who needs diamonds and truffles when you can freeze alcohol? In a daring feat of molecular mixology, the bar staff here infuses alcohols with liquid nitrogen so that they freeze solid and become more potent as they thaw. The bar offers several variations on the Nitro-Tini but the Champagne-laced Sin-sation, with its pricey rose nectar and bud stem encased in frozen Absolute Vanilla, is the fave du jour.
