This is the *BLUSH BOMB COCKTAIL*
**·         You guys know bath bombs, those sphere you put in your bath to make it fizz and smell good and fun**
**·         Well this is that, but drinkable!**
**·         To make the Cocktail Bomb component**
**o   7 oz. (200 g) citric acid**
**o   10.5 oz. (300 g) baking soda**
**o   14 oz. (400 g) sugar**
**o   ½ oz. (15 ml) bitters of your choice**
**§ I used Angostura**
**o   A few drops of absinthe (optional)**
**o   0.2 oz. (5 g) gum acacia**
**§ Not ESSENTIAL, but it’s a good stabilizer**
**o   Form into 35 gram (1 oz.) balls and wrap in wax paper**
**§ It’s a little smaller than a ping pong ball**
**o   This will make about 25 balls**
**·         Cocktail:**
**o   2 oz. (60 ml) gin**
**o   1 oz. (30 ml) unsweetened cranberry juice**
**§ NOT cranberry cocktail**
**o   1 drink bomb**
**§ Combine gin and juice in a shaker and shake with ice**
**§ Drain into a cocktail glass**
**§ Drop in the cocktail bomb**
**§ Garnish with a rosemary sprig**
**·         It’s very festive, cute, and fun**
**o   And the flavor develops as the cocktail continues to fix and dilute**
**§ I like to add a few ice cubes halfway through, but it will get sweeter and more flavorful as it goes**
