Snow Globe Cocktail With Edible Glitter: Shake It In, Freeze the Glass

How do you make a snow globe cocktail with edible glitter? The glitter goes in the shaker, and the glass needs a day's head start. The version in this episode is a rosemary vodka collins from a cocktail blog: 2 ounces vodka, 3/4 ounce rosemary syrup, 1/2 ounce lemon juice and a dash of edible glitter shaken with ice, then 4 ounces of club soda, strained into the glass. The snow globe is the glass itself — a clear stemless wine glass with coconut and cranberries covering the bottom, about an inch of water and a rosemary sprig, frozen about 6 hours. Sparkle Lab explains why shaking spreads the glitter through the drink before the soda goes in, and why white or silver flake at 50 to 500 microns reads as falling snow where fine dust reads as a silky swirl. The hosts argue over eyeballing a dash versus weighing 0.1 grams once. Dana wins the freezer round: nobody fits 12 frozen wine glasses in a home freezer, so make two or three globe glasses for the reveal and pour the same shaken cocktail into plain clear glasses for everyone else.
