Dryice 101

Carbonation
Dryice is solid carbon dioxide (CO2).  When placed in a liquid, dryice will change (sublimate) from solid to gas.  Majority of the gas will bubble to the surface and create a mist.  A small amount of gas will dissolve into the liquid to create carbonic acid and effectively carbonate the beverage though not enough to cause any fizzing.  The slight carbonation effect is enough to tingle the tongue and give a slightly bitter taste as found in popular soda waters.

Carbonated Drinks
Ironically dryice does not mix well with carbonated soft drinks or beer.  The vigorous bubbling action will substantially un-carbonate the beverage leaving the drink “flat”.

Non Diluting
Dryice is cold enough to chill beverages without the use of ice.  Hence dryice will not water down or dilute drinks.

Safety
Dryice is −78.5 °C (−109.3 °F).  This is extremely cold and can cause frost bite if handled with bare hands or swallowed.  Always use tongs to handle dryice and ensure that dryice placed inside Mistystix capsules are securely closed before being served.

Results Vary
The misty effect varies depending on the temperature of the beverage.  The colder the liquid the slower the dryice will be dissolved.  A hot beverage can produce spectacular results as the dryice is rapidly dissolved.  Typically the mist effect can last between 3 to 5 minutes. 

Juices

Make your juices extraordinary.  Add Mistystix to increase the appeal and allure of healthy alternatives.  Dryice slightly effects the taste by adding a little zest flavor with the creation of carbonic acid.  Similar to adding soda water minus the fizz.
