Instructions
  1. Using an immersion blender, combine sodium alginate and distilled water in a large airtight bowl.
  2. Let the bath sit for 1-24 hours so the bubbles dissipate.
  3. Create the cocktail (with or without alcohol) and blend in the calcium lactate.
  4. Freeze the cocktail in ice cube trays.
  5. Warm the sodium alginate bath to about 120°F and prepare two bowls of cold water.
  6. Drop one frozen cocktail pod into the sodium alginate bath and gently stir until the membrane forms.
  7. Lift the pod with a slotted spoon, wipe it, and transfer it to the first cold water bath.
  8. Rinse thoroughly, repeat in the second bath, then serve or store in a mason jar with holding liquid made from the cocktail minus the calcium.
