I could see the physics department doing this, if it wasn't that expensive. They used to have cocktails with dry ice in them - not sure how legal that is, but it's great fun. If you breathe in the vapour you can taste the drink quite strongly already.

(Note, if you put too much dry ice the water in your drink will freeze and that can affect the taste quite negatively..)




Dry ice is somewhat meh - it’s so common it’s being used for cleaning. You can use it to prepare vodka cubes, though :-)


Why would that be illegal? (besides using uni stuff to do cocktails)


Swallowing dry ice could cause injury, which means that using dry ice in a cocktail could easily be considered negligence.


To be fair, I think the bigger cause of injury in terms of dry ice cocktails is the alcohol.
