The Bazooka


So, during the discussion about my t-Virus shot last week on Reddit, the person from Candy Booze indirectly gave me a genius idea: Dissolving Pez. I love Pez. As a kid, my brother had hundreds of Pez dispensers; and my other brother and I once made a stop-motion movie called "Night of the Living Pez," complete with dispensers being blown up with firecrackers and a Pez Dispenser domino-effect finale that took about 50 tries to get right. Sadly, that footage is lost forever. Anyway, this shot is for you, Pez.


What you'll need:
Xanthan gum
Calcium lactate
Water
Two 10 oz glasses
A pipette
Cherry Pez
Bubble Gum-flavored Vodka.

First, grind up 5 peices of Cherry Pez into a fine powder. The back of a spoon works pretty well. I don't recommend snorting Pez, even in the name of science.





Prepare your two glasses. In the first, add your Pez dust, 1 cup of water, and 1/4 tsp of xanthan gum. Mix thoroughly. If your glass is big enough and you have an immersion blender, definitely use it. In the second glass, add 2 cups of water and 1/4 tsp of calcium lactate. Stir until fully dissolved, and wait about 3 minutes.


 
Take your pipette, and suck out some the Pez juice. Then, about half an inch from the surface of the calcium lactate bath, add the Pez juice one drop at a time. A few may float at the top, but most drops will sphere and sink to the bottom.



  
Hooray!

Make as much "Pez caviar" as you can. When you are finished, scoop them out and place them into an empty shot glass. How much you put in is up to how many shots you are making, and how much you made. Fill the glass with the bubble gum flavored Vodka.
You can put the Pez caviar into a rinsing bath (glass of water) between the calcium lactate bath and putting them into the shot glass, but that's optional.
