In this episode of GoGreenfields, River and Terran concoct and create in the kitchen, aiming for some mouthwatering mocktails. They also try their hands at making music with wine glasses.
Wine Glass Music: Did you Know?
Fall is here and that means that we’re coming to that part of the year when families gather and big dinners are served. That also means that there will likely be wine glasses (perfect for many mocktails) on the table. These also double as musical instruments. In the 18th century, a musical instrument made of glasses was introduced. It allowed the musician to create songs simply by rubbing a finger gently along the rim of the glasses. You can do the same thing with the wine glasses on the Thanksgiving table. The friction caused by your wet finger sliding along the rim causes the sides of the glass to quiver just enough to cause a vibration to be transmitted to the air. That results in a sound much like a musical note. The amount of water in the glass determines the degree of vibration and therefore impacts the pitch of the note.
Music-Worthy Mocktails
When they aren’t exploding in our faces, mocktails are pretty magnificent. Whether you’re serving them to friends or just enjoying them on your own, you can create some pretty fantastic (and some not-so-tasty) concoctions by combining your favorite liquids and spices. For this episode, River made a Moscow Mule Mocktail, while Terran got super creative and made what we are calling a Sweet & Spiced Pineapple Mocktini.
