Bismarck, ND – North Dakota’s Gateway to Science, in partnership with Oscar’s Bismarck, invites the community to an interactive evening exploring the fascinating science behind mixology. On April 12, 2025, attendees will experience firsthand how chemistry, physics, and precision come together to craft the perfect cocktail.
Throughout the evening, guests will learn about temperature, taste, why the size and shape of ice impact dilution, and how mixologists use these factors to enhance a drink. Local experts will demonstrate the art of infusing spirits and crafting syrups, revealing how molecular interactions create bold, complex flavors. Attendees will also witness cutting-edge mixology techniques, including the use of dry ice, liquid nitrogen, smoke, and bubbles to elevate both the visual and sensory experience of cocktails.
As part of this hands-on event, five unique cocktails will be crafted and served, allowing guests to taste the science behind each carefully designed drink. After the demonstration, the bar will remain open for attendees to continue enjoying the evening in a relaxed atmosphere.
