Definitions
- the present invention relates to food, and more particularly, to a recipe and method of making an alcoholic liquid confection ofa consistency so that it may be frozen and formed onto a stick or the like.
- the recipe results in a frozen wine confection having approximately 90% wine which when frozen is sufficiently firm to remain on a stick.
- Kocharian discloses a frozen beer or wine confection supporting device, but does not disclose how, that is, a recipe or method, to solidify the beer or wine and in particular so that it adheres to a stick.
- British Patent No. 326,447 discloses solidification of alcohol with pectin into firm shapes of a jellied substance for tablets or lozenges having advantages in handling and in medical use.
- the rest of the references generally relate to soft ice-cream or ices.
- London discloses a liquor-containing frozen confection which also includes milk, cream and sugar.
- the Wines and Vines Publication discloses frozen compositions which contain wine, sugar, acid and pectin.
- Ashmont discloses a ready-to-eat alcoholic soft ice composition.
- Kaneda discloses a frozen dessert which includes a small percent of fruit wine.
- Japanese Patent '655 discloses a beer ice cream including cream, powder milk, stabilizer and ice cream base.
- the Italian patent discloses ice cream having a wine base.
- Japanese Patent '550 discloses a beer- flavoured sherbet comprising beer, sweeteners, stabilizer, water, milk products and vegetable cream products.
- Japanese Patent '064 discloses solidified liquor product for mixing with ice cream.
- the solidified liquor is made from wine or other liquor and sugar.
- the references disclose use of wine, cream, sugar, and a stabilizer such as gelatine. None of the prior art specifically addresses the difficulties in getting the correct consistency for a structurally rigid and stable frozen alcoholic confection, and, in particular, of the correct consistency to adhere the frozen confection to a stick or so that it is sufficiently rigid to be vertically free-standing, for example in a dessert presentation, and yet which remains palatable, for example, that which is not merely a jelly.
- a structurally stable frozen alcoholic liquid confection having in a ratio of approximately 72 parts alcoholic liquid: 9 parts whipping cream:
- the present invention is an alcoholic liquid confection which is stable and rigid when frozen so as to be stable and rigid when vertically supported on a stick frozen into the confection or when vertically free standing
- the alcoholic liquid confection includes a stabilizable solution of a first volume of alcoholic liquid into which is dissolved a second volume of thickening and stabilizing means for thickening and stabilizing the stabilizable solution upon freezing of the stabilizable solution, wherein the second volume is sufficient to semi-rigidly solidify and stabilize the stabilizable solution without jellifying the stabilizable solution
- said first volume of alcoholic liquid may be a first volume of alcoholic liquid from the class of alcoholic liquids containing wine, sparkling wine, beer, cider, mixed cocktails, and mixed and unmixed liqueur drinks.
- the second volume of thickening and stabilizing means is not less than 1.0 oz by weight and not greater than 1.5 oz by weight of gelatine of equivalent amounts of like thickening and stabilizing agents dissolvable into said first volume of alcoholic liquid, and the first volume of alcoholic liquid is 128 oz by volume of alcoholic liquid, or wherein the ratio ofthe first volume to the second volume in the stabilizable solution is 128 oz by volume: 1.0-1.5 oz by weight of gelatine or equivalent of like thickening agent respectively.
- the alcoholic liquid is of the class including only wine, sparkling wine or the like, or of the class including only beer, cider or the like, or of the class including only mixed cocktails or the like, or of the class including only mixed and unmixed liqueur drinks or the like.
- the stabilizable solution is mixed with a volume of whipped cream, and/or a volume of sweetening agent dissolved into the stabilizable solution, wherein the sweetening agent may be sugar, and/or is mixed with a volume of emulsifier, wherein the emulsifier may be egg whites.
- the present invention is a method for making an alcoholic liquid confection which is stable and rigid when frozen so as to be stable and rigid when vertically supported on a stick frozen into the confection or when vertically free standing, where the alcoholic liquid confection includes a stabilizable solution ofa first volume of alcoholic liquid into which is dissolved a second volume of thickening and stabilizing means for thickening and stabilizing the stabilizable solution upon freezing of said stabilizable solution, wherein the second volume is sufficient to semi-rigidly solidify and stabilize the stabilizable solution without jellifying the stabilizable solution, and wherein the first volume of alcoholic liquid may be a first volume of alcoholic liquid from the class of alcoholic liquids containing wine, sparkling wine, beer, cider, mixed cocktails, and mixed and unmixed liqueur drinks, the method including the steps of:
- the method includes the further step of inserting a stick into the stabilizable solution so as to leave a handle portion of the stick protruding from the stabilizable solution and freezing the stabilizable solution with the stick inserted and the handle portion protruding.
- the method of making an alcoholic liquid confection the further steps of dissolving a volume of sweetening agent into the small volume of the first volume of alcoholic liquid, and/or mixing a volume of whipped cream with the stabilizable solution prior to agitating and chilling the stabilizable solution mixing a volume of emulsifier with the stabilizable solution prior to agitating and chilling the stabilizable solution.
- the method of making an alcoholic liquid confection includes the step, prior to separating the small volume from the first volume, of measuring an amount ofthe first volume and an amount ofthe second volume so that the ratio ofthe amount of the first volume to the amount ofthe second volume is 128 oz by volume: 1.0 oz - 1.5 oz by weight of gelatine or equivalent amounts of other thickening and stabilizing agents respectively.
- Figure 1 is, in perspective view, one embodiment ofthe frozen alcoholic confection ofthe present invention.
- the ingredients of the preferred method consist of wine (the alcoholic liquid), sugar (the sweetening agent), neutral gelatine (the thickening and stabilizing agent), whipping cream (enhancing presentation, texture and palatability), and egg whites (the emulsifying agent) in the following relative amounts:
- Approximate yield from this recipe depends on the volumetric size of each serving, but may be 78 frozen wine confections.
- This recipe is adjustable in the amounts so long as the percentage or relative amounts of ingredients remain constant.
- the granulated sugar and gelatine powder are mixed with the liquids, so that the sugar and gelatine dissolve. Once the sugar and gelatine are dissolved, by volume, the liquids are of three parts; wine (or other alcoholic liquid except neat alcohol such as scotch, tequila or like un-mixed, undiluted "hard” liquor), whipping cream and egg white.
- the liquids, once mixed form, for example, an 89% alcoholic liquid by volume.
- a similar method and recipe is employed for a beer frozen confection or frozen confection made from other alcoholic liquid such as cider.
- the recipe may be altered to vary sugar content so as to achieve a sweeter or less sweet finished product.
- vegetable by-products such as Xanthin gum (vegetable gum) as a thickening agent and sodium alginate (seaweed) as a preservative may be substituted for animal by-products such as gelatine and egg whites in the equivalent amounts to obtain the same result.
- the whipping cream content may be altered to achieve varied consistency.
- the confection 10 may be mounted on a stick 12 such as a twig or a conventional POPSICLETM stick.
- a stick 12 such as a twig or a conventional POPSICLETM stick.
- the surface roughness of the stick assists maintaining the confection, once frozen, on the stick.
- the recipe gives sufficient firmness for the confection to stand upright once frozen, without overly restricting the amount of alcoholic liquid in the confection and without overly affecting paletability by the use of too much thickener which results in a jelly-like or rubbery consistency. It is an object to maximize the amount of alcoholic liquid in the confection while maintaining paletability by minimizing the amount of thickener.
- Gewurztraminer wine may be used as providing a pleasing flavour in a frozen state when combined with the other ingredients according to the recipe.
- other varieties of wines or various varieties of beers or alcoholic mixture, such as mixed cocktail drinks may also be employed as further described below.
- the resulting frozen product may be coated in chocolate, but this is not necessary for structural rigidity ofthe product and in fact may detract from such structural rigidity.
- the structurally rigid and stable frozen alcoholic liquid confection ofthe present invention also has advantages other than it will remain on a stick.
- the fact that it is vertically stable once frozen allows for artistic creativity in the presentation of alcoholic desserts and the like in that free-standing sculptures or moulded forms may be presented that may be eaten as a dessert and yet which have significant alcoholic content and palatability.
- One method of making the above structurally stable frozen alcoholic liquid confection is to, first, measure out the quantities ofthe dry and liquid ingredients in the amounts, or like ratios, as set out above; second, mix the dry ingredients into a homogenous liquid heated mixture of a small (example 2 cups) of heated alcoholic liquid which has been brought to a boil or otherwise heated sufficiently to dissolve the gelatine, whereby the sugar and gelatine are fully dissolved; third, pour the mixture back into the remainder ofthe alcoholic liquid required to bring the total amount of alcoholic liquid to the amount called for by the recipe, where advantageously the remainder ofthe alcoholic liquid may be cool or pre-chilled (but not frozen); forth, agitate the entire mixture in a chilled container so the ingredients do not separate, for example, by using an ice cream machine; fifth, when the mixture reaches a slush-like consistency add the egg whites, which have been whipped in a separate container, and pour the mixture into a mould, inserting a stick for holding the resulting confection, if a POP
- the underlying basis of the recipe and method according to the present invention is the combination of alcoholic liquid. whether it be in the class of alcoholic liquids containing wine, beer, cider, champagne or the like, or whether it be in the class of alcoholic liquids containing mixed cocktail-like drinks including margueritas, daiquiris, pina coladas or the like, or whether it be in the class of alcoholic liquids where liquers are mixed to provide mixed liquer drinks such as KALHUATM and cream or to provide "shooter"-type drinks such as B-52s, or the like, in the correct ratio with a thickening and stabilizing agent such as gelatine.
- 1.2 oz by weight of neutral gelatine are specified. This is a preferred embodiment although a range of weights of gelatine may be used in that recipe.
- the weight of neutral gelatine which may be advantageously employed is greater than or equal to 1.0 oz but less than or equal to 1.5 oz of neutral gelatine by weight.
- the sugar ingredient is merely a sweetner and can be substituted with calorie-reduced sweetners such as SWEET 'N LOWTM or the like in equivalent proportions to result in the same level of desired sweetness. Whipping cream may be added for taste, texture and appearance.
- the egg whites act as an emulsifier contributing to the smoothness ofthe texture.
- one of the preferred recipes and methods according to the present invention would be to dissolve 1.2 oz of neutral gelatine by weight in 128 oz of wine by volume and to freeze this solution according to the fourth through seventh steps set out above, with the exception of adding egg whites.
- Palatability however will usually call for a sweetener in some amount, egg whites as an emulsifier and whipping cream for texture.
- the receipe and method ofthe present invention where the alcoholic liquid is beer or cider will typically call for less than four cups of sugar to provide agreeable taste.
- the class of alcoholic liquids including wine and champagne less than or equal to four cups of sugar may be called for.
- the amount of sugar required is reduced, to approximately one cup as an example, in view ofthe existing sugar content in the mixed cocktails themselves assuming such cocktails have been mixed according to standard and accepted bar recipes.
- the class of alcoholic liquids including liqueurs the amount of sugar required is greatly reduced from that required in beer or wine confections because ofthe already existing level of sweetness in the liqueurs themselves.
- Substitutes for gelatine may include carrageen, hydro xypropylmethyl cellulose, locust bean gum, guar gum, alginates, agar. xantham gum and galactomannas.
- Substitutes for egg whites may include mono di-glycerides, lecithin (soya product), sorbiton mono stearate and agar.
