How to Carbonate and Bottle Cocktails - Ruban Bleu #2
By Jamie Boudreau
Carbonating and bottling cocktails is a great way to batch cocktails for your bar or for fun at home. Using great ingredients, like Martin Miller's Gin and adding bubbles also makes any cocktail a more refreshing drinking experience.

3/4 part Creme Yvette
1/2 part fresh lemon juice
2 parts Cava or other sparkling wine

Where do you source your tiny champagne bottles?
You can find them on amazon. Just google champagne bottle 375

Thanks Jamie!
How long will these store for? Will the citrus change much from sitting in the bottle over time?
Thanks for the video, Jamie. This looks like a delicious cocktail!
How do you make these on a larger scale? I have the cheaper version of the Perlini, the isi twist n sparkle, and have tried to push out a dozen of these kind of cocktails. It just takes a long time. Any insight on how to make this process easier? Thanks
I am working with the inventor of Perlini to create a bulk carbonator. I currently use the prototype, but we are very much in the middle of refining the product.
Brian: these store for at least a week. I go through them that quickly, so I can’t speak for longer time lines.
Christian, I should point out here that the “Twist N Sparkle” by ISI has been recalled (http://twistnsparkle.com/index.html) and you shouldn’t be using it.
If you don’t have a Perlini system, you can use a normal soda siphon, put all the ingredients in, and then carbonate it like normal but WITHOUT the center tube. Shake and let it set for a while in the fridge, and then release the pressure on the siphon (which is why you aren’t using the center tube) and then bottle.

Jaime: can’t wait to see the final product
Robert: I didn’t know it was recalled. Thanks for the heads up
