I've tried with a different alcohol and Agar agar doesn't seem to work... It seems there needs to be sometime of sugar content for it to do so.

@Holmeswannabe Actually every alcohol will do with Agar BUT! it must contain enough water for it to work. I have never seen a less than 40% al. drink not jellify. Maybe try with a bit more agar ? Cheers!

About how much Agar-Agar is used for 1/3 cup of rum?

[dechamplainjerome]

@dscales90 As less as possible :) 0,8 gram should do just fine. Cheers!

@MoleculeRflavors ...Thank you for your answer...but last question...does the products have discriptions on how to use it???

[MoleculeRflavors]

@ladythreecats If you purchase a Cuisine R-EVOLUTION or Cocktail R-EVOLUTION kit, you will get a DVD with up to 50 recipes (30 for the Cocktail kit), complete with instructions for the use of your additives.

@ladythreecats agar agar can often be found at asian stores, but "special" agar such as these ones, texturas or from sosa is better because often it's more concentrated and gives less taste. The ordinary agar agar that's often sold at asian stores tend to give off a bit of unwanted flavour, and they are sold with different colourings added. So if you buy asian agar, remember to look for clear sachets, you don't want to end up with a blue or green jelly right?

agar agar is my best friend!

[daffydii0]

@2babecat I agree! I mean my grandma already used agar in the 1960s. Geez. Its just tht ppl used it in a more fancier way.

[irvingserrot626]

Wow I love your videoas!!!!

[2babecat]

i love how people know nothing about agar.... we use both agar and gelatin all the time in asian countries...

[piratedudette]

You could do so much with it! :)

It's just a flat jello shot...

[MoleculeRflavors]

@AndrossUT Don't get drunk with that! It's good with fruits ;)

I gave it a like, but just barely. It's kind of pedestrian.
