    Methylcellulose is also used as an egg white substitute in vegan cocktails! It foams up in a very similar way to egg whites and has little.to no effect on the flavor. It’s often prepared as a syrup to make portioning easier as you only need small amounts to achieve the foaming effect

      It’s an excellent foaming agent! Methocel f50 foams will last a lot longer than egg foams too

      Just make sure you get the right kind though. Usually if you get “methylcellulose” it’s f50 but there are a lot of different types with different properties. The a4c variety I mentioned for hot ice cream will make foams but won’t work as well and is better for gel applications. But there are a lot of varieties of methocel and many are only subtly different from each other

        Wonder if they can use it for firefighting foam instead of PFOAs.

        Alternately, I wonder how good of a foam PFOAs will give my cocktail.
