...yes because we all have liquid nitrogen and quinide at hand

[yoyomike16]

This would take me all day to make let alone 12 seconds...

[leki93]

Not to fast my friend, slow down lol :-)

[timothyj1966]

have a slight problem with the 12 second thing... cut up limes.... mix with the aguar...let set... stir... squeeze through 4 sheets of cheese cloth... lot of that hanging round my kitchen.... add quinine...which is probably illegal to sell on its own...where do i get that ...seems like a real chore... when I need a quick gin & tonic... i will just open a can of shweppes tonic water....

[handsomelok]

is he a bar mate or chef?? he looks like a cook

[technogothpwn]

Wait... hold on a second here...

sugar water (simple syrup) in a G&T?.... this seems like many who enjoy a normal g&t aren't going to really find this appealing...

And (Sorry, just felt I needed to point this out) as awesome as this and many other of the recipes you've mentioned sound to make and the show/taste might be awesome: it's not something you can easily whip out without (from the looks of it) quite a bit of prep ahead of time.

This is so incredibly complicated I don't even know if its really gin and tonic anymore. In fact, you probably actually need a medical license to serve actual quinine.

This is so amazing!!! I would love to taste it. About how much LN2 do use?
