Participating in the Tide Pod challenge? Not such a good idea, at least not if you prefer to spend your free time outside the emergency room. Cocktail pods from Glenlivet, on the other hand, are made to be enjoyed by humans.
Enjoyed responsibly, of course, and by adults. But yes, the nearly 200-year-old whisky maker really did put the water of life in a digestible pod. There’s no need to stir and the pods can be chilled — so there’s no melting ice to dilute your cocktail. You don’t even need a glass.
It’s all about “redefining how whisky can be enjoyed,” according to a press release from The Glenlivet. That’s what the pods look like at the top: sloshy little biodegradable bags of booze. The exterior of the pod is made from seaweed extracts and a discarded pod will decompose in about a month, according to the sustainable packaging makers at Notpla.
The “Capsule Collection” was created in partnership with London’s hip bar/eatery Tayēr + Elementary. They created the cocktails that were sealed inside the limited-run pods. They’re only be served for London Cocktail Week.
Tayēr + Elementary presents them as an amouse-bouche. That, coupled with their slightly jiggly nature, makes the pods sound an awful lot like pretentious Jell-O shots.
We shouldn’t poke too much fun at cocktail pods, though. Remember, Nick Offerman himself said there’s no wrong way to order a whisky. As Ron Swanson he painted in even broader strokes, saying “There is no wrong way to consume alcohol.”
Cocktail pods are certainly a less conspicuous way to have a quick nip while you’re out and about. Most people would probably think you’re just popping a large gummy in your mouth rather than a 23ml shot of scotch.
Personally, I’d love to see these at my liquor store in something like a holiday chocolate tin.
