Modernist Mixology: How Bartenders Are Using Centrifuges to Perfect Your Cocktail

Hosted by

Garrett Snyder is the editor of Tasting Table Los Angeles. He visits with Alex Day and Chris Day (no relation) at Chapter & Verse, a cocktail lab in the Downtown LA Arts District to find out what technology they are utilizing to craft their cocktails.

The most surprising piece of equipment at Chapter & Verse is a medical-grade centrifuge that the bartenders are using to clarify liquid. When spun in a centrifuge, grapefruit juice comes out looking like water but having the bright, intense flavor of grapefruit.
