Perlini Carbonation Kit

Open the cool aluminum briefcase and remove your weapon of choice. Charge the pistol grip with a 16-gram CO₂ cartridge. Fill the lower shaker chamber with gin, maraschino liqueur, lemon juice, Creme de Violette, and ice. Thread the shaker top and valve onto the lower chamber. Inject CO₂ into the shaker. Shake. Settle. Open. Pour. You’ve just made a delicious, sparkling Aviation.

You can use the Perlini system to carbonate cocktails and other drinks that won’t work in a traditional home carbonation system, thanks to the large opening of the three-part cobbler-style shaker. I even used it to carbonate some fresh strawberries. It comes with excellent instructions (printed, and on a USB drive) that include recipes, solid explanations of the science of carbonation, a formula to calculate optimal booze-to-ice ratios, and other important mixological physics.
