Grab A Soda Charger For Your Party And Serve Booze With A Bang

Aside from the traditional glass shaker, strainer and alcohol jigger, the soda siphon is now considered a very important tool of the bartender. Soda or carbonated water has a universal use in mixing drinks. It dilutes the hard alcoholic beverage to come up with fun-tasting cocktails.

If you plan to host a cocktail party at home, getting a soda charger will save you money and loads of effort. If you change the gas canister from carbon dioxide to nitrous oxide, you already have a cream charger that will dispense perfectly whipped cream. Here are some great punch and cocktail recipes which you can serve during your party.

Fruit Punch for Everybody

This recipe will make nearly a hundred servings. Combine 8 cups of water and about 12 ounces of lemonade concentrate. Stir in 16 ounces of orange juice concentrate, 46 ounces of unsweetened pineapple juice and a quarter of a cup of lime juice. Completely dissolve two and a half cups of sugar in the mixture. Chill this mixture in the fridge. Prepare you're a third of a cup carbonated water using your soda charger. Mix the juice, water and a third of a cup ginger ale in a huge bowl. Serve and have fun.

Alcoholic Milk Chocolate

This treat is to be enjoyed by people over 18. Firstly, you need to prepare your whipped cream in a cream dispenser. Mix half an ounce of Amaretto, Irish cream, Kahlua, Dekuyper Razzmatazz and a splash of Cola in a soda siphon. Dispense the gas slowly then shake the container for a few seconds. Squirt a generous amount of chocolate syrup into the bottom of a Martini glass. Pour in the alcoholic drink then top it off with whipped cream. Garnish as you desire.

Intoxicating Apple Pie

This recipe will also require you to prepare whipped cream from a cream dispenser. Mix an ounce of vodka and two ounces of apple juice in a soda siphon. Mix the concoction in the canister for a few seconds then pour it into a martini glass. Sprinkle cinnamon over the drink and top with whipped cream. This will taste like your mom's apple pie, except its alcoholic.

Traditional Bloody Mary

Carbonate about three ounces of water in the soda siphon. Mix a can of tomato juice and an ounce of lime juice in a huge pitcher. Add a few splashes of Worcestershire sauce, a pinch of cumin powder and celery salt and a teaspoon of horseradish. Blend all these ingredients well before sprit-zing it up with your soda water. Sprinkle more lemon pepper on top of the glass and garnish with a celery stalk.

The science behind this kitchen appliance is no rocket science. The pressurized canister allows carbon dioxide to incorporate with the liquid inside making it incredibly fizzy and refreshing. Instead of buying bottles of carbonated water and drinks, getting a soda charger or a cream dispenser is more practical and convenient.
