- Serendipity is a savory zero proof cocktail from Existing Conditions in NYC (Dave Arnold, Don Lee & Greg Boehm's beloved bar which is unfortunately now closed permanently due to the pandemic) that changed my whole mind for the better about non alcoholic cocktails ...and agar powder. It is truly a game changer.
This was just one of those drinks I couldn’t get out of my mind since the last time I had it. A savory non alcoholic cocktail is quite unusual to find. One would not typically think to combine the flavors of tomato, passionfruit and grapefruit, but they all work so beautifully together. While I didn’t get it perfect, i still very much enjoyed the final product, as well as the process of making it. It was fun learning how to effectively use agar for different purposes in clarification as well as the grapefruit pearls. Agar is so much fun :)
My take on EC’s Serendipity:
1.5oz clarified tomato juice
1.5oz clarified passion fruit juice
Grapefruit twist (expressed)
Garnish: Grapefruit pearls inside a passionfruit half
Mix and serve over a large ice cube. Express Grapefruit twist and gently float the garnish on top.

I love a good savory cocktail. What’s your favorite?
I am in heaven with pineapple orange juice and rum. I havent had a chance to do much drink experimenting. Its expensive to have alot of different booze at hand when you dont even drink them. Lol
@@iangoodisDMX I know what you mean. It’s starting to take over my apartment
@@TheWeePearl hahaha the cereal cabinet became the booze cabinet and you stopped buying cereal. 🤣🤣🤣
@@iangoodisDMX precisely lol
Such a nice, clean production! Love the cocktail. Well done! I like a clarified Bloody Mary. I used pectinex for it.
I’ll never stop being impressed by the effort you put into one glass. Fascinating.
This one was a lot of work lol
@@TheWeePearl You ain’t kidding. My Thanksgiving giving feast takes less effort. 😅
@@CoachVinoLLC 🤣
@@CoachVinoLLC LOL
I have NEVER seen those pearls made before!!!! Holy cow. That is so much work...and patience. That drip drip drip, I wouldn't have made it lol. But what an amazing drink to have at the end. SO impressed Meaghan!
Thank you! lol it was a lot of work- but they are really something!
Your explanation of how to make the pearls was so simple thank you!
Thanks! It looks like it would be complicated, but as long as you have the ratios right, it’s pretty simple. They’re so good too. Like little gummy bears
I subscribed so fast! Because guuurl you are a genius. This is amazing. The cinematography, your clear instructions, explanation - 👨🏽🍳💋
I love your focus on zero proof, and this sounds great. Such small yield! That’s what usually scares me off these processes. It’s beautiful to watch though, especially your presentation.
Thank you so much!! This one is still my favorite and I'm so glad when it gets appreciated :) Yes small yield but totally worth it!!
Amazing!!! I am seriously so impressed at the dedication and technique on display here! Existing Conditions was a favorite of mine before it closed too. I've been wanting to do a tribute video to them, but most of their drinks are well beyond my capabilities. Love your channel!
Thank you so much! It was truly a shame to see them close, though I’m hopeful they will open up a new place soon. I’m sure you are more than capable of remaking one of your favorites, though they did have some hi tech gear for that extra finesse.
Everything about this is amazing. Well explained, beautifully shot and a superb option for a mocktail 👌
That means a lot! Thank you so much!
wow amazing. this is my first time to your channel. but you got me hooked with the way you filmed and edited this. the drink sounds and looks amazing. Great job and keep this up. gonna have to binge watch more of your videos once I get out of work. Cheers
Hey’ thank you so much! I hope you enjoy my other videos too. This is one of my favorites 😊
Video quality is amazing it’s clear, artistic, and informative!
Thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoyed!
A lot of great techniques. This also sounds like a great beverage.
It is indeed. Quite the process, but worth it!
Beautiful. Brings a high-production cocktail down to earth one step at a time. I've always thought spherification was a pretentious flourish that wasn't worth the effort, but the method you describe here is so smart, simple, and inexpensive that it makes me want to try it out!
Thank you! This version is by far the simplest form of spherification. I still haven’t mastered the more complicated technique, but I’m working on it!! These ones were really tasty. A little tip: if you aren’t going to use them right away, store them in grapefruit juice with a little simple syrup- they taste even better. Thank you so much for your support:)
Truly amazing... The depth of your knowledge and presentation. I am honestly in awe.
Thank you so much! That means a lot to us. Cheers!
💯
This is some next level stuff, very interesting way of using clarified juice. I'll have to get some agar and try this technique out 👍
The pearl making is genius
Thank you! Yes! The pearls turned out really great. It’s pretty simple too I’ve you get all the supplies together.
So many science cocktails this week
I noticed that too! Lol. Crazy coincidence
Woaaaah just discovered this channel through Alchemix Bar and the production quality blew me away! Learnt so much from this one video, the grapefruit pearls are spectacular. Dedication to form and high level mixology is often lost for alcohol free cocktails. Yet you seem to have mastered the craft. No wonder when you were inspired by Existing Conditions. A true tragedy that it closed but you should feel proud to be keeping their craft alive.
Wow! Thank you so much and welcome! I’m so glad to hear you enjoyed the video. I do put a lot of hard work and love into these videos and it’s so inspiring to hear feedback like this. I truly enjoy crafting cocktails and believe nobody should be left out. Cheers!
@@TheWeePearl Absolutely love stumbling onto rare gems like your channel, the passion you have comes through completely! Really looking forward to more and the channel getting more of the recognition it deserves!
What books did you get to learn so much about clarifying?
You're so talented and i'm so impressed by the quality of your content! you deserve way more followers!
full support from a barmaid in Paris👋
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it 😊
Love the close up of the Liquid Intelligence book section on clarification
It's such a gold mine :)
love passion fruit 👍👍👍
Me too! So tropical 🌴
Magnificent!
Thank you! Happy New Year, chef!
Five-star effort... impressive
Grapefruit is my jam! I wanna try this.
This is amazing. Full watch for you, sis. Your channel is for realz.
Well - I am rather a fan of the new "alcohol free distillates" - juices (even if they are clarified) aren't really a revelation.
On the other side, the video is so calm and relaxing, that I have issues to keep my eyes open. I love also the whole production value - well made. No need for watching any meditation videos!
haha! I am also enjoying the new non alcoholic spirits of late. I am happy to be of service, even if it is for a nap! cheers!
Wow that looks amazing! Fantastic techniques!!
Thank you so much! I’m going to tinker a bit more with it to get it completely clear, but it was delicious
Stay blessed stay connected stay happy new friend
Wow amazing video 👍️ keep it up..
Thank you 😊
👍👍👍👍👍👍
grazie mille!! ❤ :)
This is so beautiful it makes me wanna cry !
Would this work with passion fruit puree ?
🤗 I'm so glad you liked it! Yes it would! That's what ours essentially turned into; we just had the frozen blocks of the puree and let them melt before mixing in the pot with the agar. Let me know if you try it!
Amazing ❤What is the clarified tomatos shelf-life ?
Hi, i'm impressed with your channel, your recipes are amazing. I would like to ask you how do you choose which clarification techquine to use? when should i use milk punch or agar agar or just filtration tomato puree? why did you use this specific method here? I hope you can answer! Cheers!
Hello and thank you! I always consider the constitution of the liquid in clarifying, like in tomato juice, it’s too much pulp to milk clarify, so I used this boiling method. I also consider allergens and the theme of the drink. If I’m making something vegan, I’ll stay away from milk and try to use an alternative like coconut milk, or agar agar. This cocktail is a recreation of one that I had and I wanted to stick to the ingredients listed on the menu. Since there was no mention of dairy, gelatin or nuts, I decided on these clarifying methods.
@@TheWeePearl Thank you so much!
Great video! What kind of lable maker you use btw?
Thank you so much! I use this one amzn.to/3DcvH3i
🌹😋❤👌💐
great video! How can I store the caviars and how long can I store it for though? thank you in advance
Hi! Thank you! You can store them in whatever juice you used- they are semipermeable, so if you keep them in water they will lose flavor. They will keep in the refrigerator for a week
Hey, im trying to make the pearls, but the only thing I'll get is a big clump of gel in the glass instead of pearls. Do you chill the oil before making pearls or afterwards?
The oil needs to be cold before dropping the gel in there.
What's the brand of passion fruit juice/puree that you've used here?
I’m using pitaya foods brand. They sell it at Whole Foods
2% abit high and will give you metallic or Acid taste.Try 0.2-0.4% For better Results
Thanks! I misspoke in the video, but the recipe has the correct amount
What's half a cup for real ?
4 oz
Why not use milk for clarification?
Milk, or whey was not listed in the ingredients and I wanted to recreate the exact drink
Hey i m mixologist in le meridian marriot hotel ..learn altot frm u ...u r on intaragm?
I tried this with gelatine instead of agar. It didn't work :(
Agar gels at a pretty high temperature, I believe gelatin needs a lower temp to gel. I have yet to experiment much with gelatin outside of the Jell-O shot arena.
I wonder if the gelatin is given more time to set in the fridge it might work. The agar was in almost a gel when I was extracting it from the jar.
@@TheWeePearl it gelled into a jello like substance but then didn't seperate into a clear liquid.
@@spokaneman20 interesting. I would think it should work the same way. 🤔 the only thing I can think of is the oil might need to be colder.
@@TheWeePearl sorry, I meant clarifying the passion fruit. Got a nice passion fruit jello, coffee filter after a few hours didnt do anything. Oh well.
Hey! Do you do collabs?
Hello! We do from time to time.
I messaged you on insta if you're interested :)
You ned 0.2% agar nor 2%
But nice video
That’s correct, I misspoke, but the recipe has the correct amount
