Red Bull and Vodka Pods

In a measuring cup or bowl, combine the Red Bull and vodka.

Add the calcium lactate gluconate to the liquid mixture and stir until it is completely dissolved.

Pour the mixture into a silicone ice mold.

Place the mold in the freezer until the pods are frozen solid, at least 2 hours.

While the pods freeze, prepare the sodium alginate bath by blending the sodium alginate with the distilled water until smooth. Let it rest to allow air bubbles to dissipate. Prepare two separate bowls of plain water for rinsing.

Once frozen, pop one pod out of the mold and drop it into the sodium alginate bath.

Let the pod sit in the solution for about 2 minutes. A gel-like membrane will form as the outside thaws.

Using a spoon, carefully remove the pod from the sodium alginate bath.

Immediately transfer the pod to the first rinse bath, then to the second rinse bath to remove any excess sodium alginate solution.

Serve and enjoy immediately.
