Liquid nitrogen cocktail

A bartender making a liquid nitrogen cocktail

A liquid nitrogen cocktail is any mixed drink whose preparation involves the use of liquid nitrogen.[1][2][3] Popularized as a novelty because of the smoky, bubbling "cauldron effect" it produces, liquid nitrogen is controversial as a cocktail ingredient because it boils at −196 °C (77 K; −321 °F) and its consumption is thus potentially lethal.[3] However, it is not a regulated substance in most countries and there is little control of its use.[4]
