Have you wanted to make the Honey Liliko'i Foam for a Monkeypod Mai Tai but don't have a nitrous-oxide charger? Turns out you can make it with a hand mixer.
1 egg white
1 oz Passion Fruit Puree
1 oz Simple Syrup
1 1/2 Cold Water
1/2 oz Honey
(1/4 teaspoon Xanthan gum, more on that later)
I whipped it good (without the xanthan), it made a foam but not as merengue-ish as I thought as I thought it would be and in a few minutes it was starting to separate. I had just bought some Xanthan Gum thanks to Garret Richard and his book Tropical Standard. I figured I had nothing to lose so I added 1/2 teaspoon, stirred it in, waited a few minutes, and beat it again. That worked! A bit too well, it was a little gelatinous. I think 1/4 teaspoon would work better.
I'm not a Mai Tai kinda guy so I put it on Anthony Downing's Buccaneer's Passion
Garret Richard has a plan in his book Tropical Standard to reclaim the frozen drink with granulated sugar, xanthan gum, and precisely measured ice. The Floridita Daiquiri from page 94. Perfectly balanced and oh, so silky! Very interesting book
