Ever wanted to play with dry ice and brightly colored liquids? I can hear the maniacal laughs now. Now you can by playing with Libbey’s new Chemistry Bar. You can have your test tubes for shot glasses or used a cylinder to measure out each drink carefully. If you want to look more Mr. Hyde than Dr. Jekyll, you can drink your cocktail of choice from an Erlenmeyer or round flask, even beakers.

You can add a little fun to your drinks by making them more dramatic at the bar:

      • Dry Ice – You can get some dry ice for the night. Remember to treat with care and read any instructions given. However, using tongs and being a little over dramatic will add to the fun of the cocktail.
      • Glowing drinks – You can get some drinks to fluoresce under a black light by adding a little tonic water with quinine or energy drinks with B vitamin. The tonic water will glow a bright blue and an energy drink will have a yellow or green glow.
      • Dress the part – If you are having a theme night and really want to play up the mad scientist flare, get some lab coats and rubber gloves. Even a pair of goggles can come into play when working on more ‘volatile’ reactions like the dry ice.
