What are Cocktail Bombs?

Cocktail bombs have taken the cocktail world by storm. They are unique, fun, and a great addition to any party or social gathering. But what are cocktail bombs, and how are they different from regular cocktails? In this article, we'll cover everything you need to know about cocktail bombs, from what they are to how they're made, and everything in between. So, let's dive in!

When they are made by Poseidn, they can be in any shape you can imagine and contain a variety of ingredients designed to create a cocktail with little to no effort. They are typically made from a combination of fruit juices, sweeteners, spices, flavours, acid from citrus, and are often used to create visually stunning drinks that are both tasty and fun to look at.

What are Cocktail Bombs Made Of?

Here's a breakdown of the most common ingredients you'll find in a typical cocktail bomb from Poseidn:

1. Sweetener: In the case of cocktails, sugar is a key ingredient, providing the sweetness that is typically found in even the most premium ones. Although regular, well-sourced pure cane sugar is used in most of our current drinks, we also use substitutes such as Stevia leaf, Monk fruit and premium sugar alcohols to limit the amount of sugar and calories in the products.
2. Citric Acid: Citric acid is found naturally in citrus fruits (lemon, lime, etc) and is responsible for the tangy, sour taste of cocktails. In Poseidn's products, citric acid is mainly used to balance the sugar and get the required taste. Almost all cocktails have some amount of sour taste and so this is a very common ingredient to make a great cocktail.
3. Spices and Herbs: In some bombs, spices and herbs are used to enhance the taste of the drinks. It is important to know that spices and herbs are fully natural. Some of them dissolve completely in liquid but others naturally don't. If you find yourself with microscopic particles in your glass, it is completely normal and simply means that this particular ingredient is not soluble. Give it a quick stir and you're back on track!
4. Natural Flavours: Cocktail Bombs made by Poseidn contain natural flavours (and you should expect nothing less from any Drink Bombs you buy). Natural flavours are used to get the precise taste we love in cocktails. They are found in small quantities and can contribute to a memorable experience.
5. Colours: Colours are necessary to improve the beauty of the products. Sometimes the other ingredients in the bombs have enough colour. Other times, we need to add colourants to make the products look better and also the drink. Poseidn uses, for example, turmeric to improve the yellow colour, beet juice to improve the red colours, etc.
