How to make an oxygen cocktail at home?

The oxygen cocktail was invented quite a long time ago, but until recently it was an exclusive product of medical treatment facilities due to the specificity of its hardware preparation. Over time, restaurants and bars were able to improve their assortment of drinks by adding oxygen cocktails to the menu, which attracted visitors. Today it is possible to create an oxygen cocktail at home, since the equipment for its preparation has become compact and mobile, as well as technologically simple in household use.

What is an oxygen cocktail, and how to make an oxygen cocktail at home?

Any drink, including water, saturated with oxygen, can be turned into an oxygen cocktail. In fact, the apparatus for saturating the drink with oxygen is a foaming agent, with the only difference that the usual foam, for example, on kvass or beer, consists of bubbles with air, and the foam contained in an oxygen cocktail consists of bubbles with 95% practically pure oxygen that enters the mouth when a person drinks an oxygen cocktail. Oxygen bubbles burst, and oxygen is partially inhaled and partially enters the gastrointestinal tract. This oxygenated foam is undoubtedly healthier than regular air foam.

Absolutely any drink can be filled with oxygen: water (still), tea, herbal infusion, coffee, cocoa, juice, smoothies, fruit drink, compote, milk, fermented baked milk, kvass, an ordinary cocktail of any recipe, as well as a medicinal product diluted in water (mixture, tincture, liquid extracts). Common food foaming agents (Licorice root extract or spoom) that are used to decorate drinks (a spectacular foam cap) create foam with a mixer or shaker, but from the air, not pure oxygen. But an oxygen cocktail is practically the entire drink foamed with oxygen - it is light and pleasant in sensations, it has the taste of the drink that has been turned into foam. Oxygen cocktails made from soft drinks are especially good - they play many roles: they cool and oxygenate and quench the feeling of thirst.

You can prepare an oxygen cocktail yourself in two ways: firstly, using a portable oxygen cartridge, which is sold as a means for mobile oxygen therapy, and secondly, using an oxygen concentrator, which is now used at home for oxygen inhalation.

A special nozzle in the form of a tube is put on the oxygen cartridge, which is lowered into the selected drink and foams the foaming agent powder (ready-made industrial powder) poured into the liquid, thus turning almost all the drink in the glass into foam. It should be borne in mind that the liquid in the glass must be half (or even two-thirds) less than the volume of the glass itself, otherwise the foam will splash out of the glass.

Oxygen concentrators are supplied with special nozzles that make it possible to foam the liquid in the glass - the principle of filling the glass with the selected drink is the same as in the case of an oxygen cartridge (half or one third of the volume of the entire glass).

If it was not possible to purchase a ready-made foaming agent, then there is a way to prepare an oxygen cocktail without a commercially available foaming agent. In a commercial spoom mixture, egg white plays the role of a foaming agent. You can add fresh egg white to the drink (a few drops) at home and froth with oxygen. If we are talking about a simple airy foam as an element of decorating a cocktail, then you can add a foam whipped with a shaker from a part of the drink and a few drops of fresh egg white to absolutely any drink, but without the participation of an oxygen cylinder or concentrator.

What is the use of an oxygen cocktail? An oxygen cocktail can play a large role in the health of the body if consumed regularly:

Eliminates the side effects of hypoxia, which sometimes do not have obvious symptoms, but provoke many painful conditions, for example, fatigue, insomnia, or vice versa, drowsiness, low physical endurance, heavy breathing, and disturbances in the myocardium.
In addition to the fact that the oxygen cocktail is a good prophylactic agent, it alleviates the state of oxygen deficiency in many diseases: bronchitis, pneumonia, shortness of breath associated with heart failure, infectious lung diseases, asthma, headaches of unknown etiology, and chronic fatigue.

It is no secret that the life of a modern person proceeds under conditions of oxygen deficiency:

gas pollution of street air;
harmful work atmosphere;
sealed windows that restrict air flow;
cardiovascular problems;
excessive physical activity;
high stress loads;
rare walks in the fresh air.

Oxygen cocktails are an opportunity to improve your quality of life in one of the most enjoyable ways. Oxygen cocktail is useful for:

with intensive fitness or professional sports - improves breathing,
with a mental kind of work or study - improves the activity of the brain,
with therapeutic or prophylactic diets - gives additional usefulness to diet drinks,
with chronic diseases - helps to activate the hidden reserves of the body,
in case of excessive fatigue and stress, it turns on the adaptive resources of the body.

Oxygen cocktail is not only a healthy daily homemade drink, but also an original festive drink that can please your loved ones or guests.
