Red River Nitro-Cocktail
For the balloon
strawberry puree g 200
mineral water g 100
sugar g 45
Inflate a regular balloon, using a siphon, to stretch it, then allow to deflate. Using a large syringe, half-fill the balloon with the strawberry mixture and inflate it again to form a sphere that fits your chosen serving glass; knot it at the neck.
Cut the balloon tail under the knot. Fill the cryo-bowl with liquid nitrogen. Place the balloon in the liquid nitrogen and turn it quickly and constantly, so that all surfaces comes into contact with the liquid nitrogen. Don´t stop turning it, or the sphere will loose its shape. Continue until it is completely frozen.
Remove the balloon from the liquid nitrogen and place it in a freezer for 30 minutes. Using a sharp, thin knife, score the balloon and peel off the rubber coating, so you are left with just a frozen sphere. Heat the tip of a metal piping nozzle and press lightly into the sphere to make a hole, then immediately place the sphere in the freezer.
