Hi and thanks to all the inspirations. Problem is: Things like Magic Foam or other ingrediences are not available here in old fashioned England. Is there an address in Europe where one could order and buy???

Unfortunately we do not have any international distributors at this time but we do ship direct – here’s our international FAQ.

I tried using this foaming technique (with a whipping siphon) to create the salt air topping for a Jose Andres-style margarita. It was a dismal failure! The foam breaks down after only a few minutes whereas the Galiano foam in the video held up for quite some time. Is this a function of chemistry? Is there something about the salt and/or lime juice in the Salt Air that keeps the Foam Magic from working its, um, magic? I’ve made this same foam with Sucrose Esthers and it worked fine. I just thought the whipping siphon might be a more handy method.

The high acidity of the lime juice could effect the foaming properties of foam magic. It may need to be diluted with water slightly so that the foam works. A 50-50 mix of water and lime juice should work for this application.
