Eden’s Ember Deconstructed is a variation of Eden’s Ember, the winning cocktail I created for Canada’s 2008 Tabasco Cocktail competition.
Due to the Jalapeno and the Original Tabasco pepper sauces, the original drink has an herbal, fruity flavour with two different layers of spiciness.
I wanted to deconstruct the drink and reintroduce the flavours into the cocktail so that it looks different but tastes pretty much the same.

Apple Tabasco foam*
Blend using an immersion blender; try not to incorporate too much air.
Fine strain and put it in the fridge for a couple of hours or overnight.
Pour into an iSi type of canister and charge with one N20 cartridge.
Shake it a few times and put it in the fridge.
If you are unsure how to make the foam, check this post. I used the same drink as an example of making foams.
Notes
Follow the manufacturer's instructions on how many chargers can
be used with the container. Usually, for 0.500 L, use one charger.
