The only dessert in Cancun, made with liquid nitrogen.

Ice cream is one of the desserts for all ages, with various colors, textures, and flavors that can be enjoyed whether it is a summer or autumn day. This time we will introduce you to one of our stellar desserts, our Below Zero Ice Cream 43.

What is below-zero ice cream?

A few years ago, Will Rogers; an American inventor, presented to the public the famous machine; below zero, capable of turning any alcoholic beverage into ice cream. 

There is a variety of ice creams with different flavors of our favorite alcoholic beverages, but these usually do not have the ABV they contain, since the freezing point of alcohol is usually much lower than that of the ingredients. Rogers, has managed to revolutionize the gastronomy industry since below zero manages to crystallize any drink, without losing its alcoholic content.

But how does it achieve the consistency of ice cream? Well, this is possible thanks to a technique in which the alcoholic beverage is degassed, extracting its carbon dioxide, and then mixing it with a nitrogen and sugar gel, which allows the alcohol to freeze almost completely.

Now you may wonder, where can you find it in Cancún?

Among all the variety of options to enjoy, at CAO Modern Mexican Kitchen, you can find in our dessert section our stellar Below-Zero 43 Ice Cream, a combination of art and pure science.
