BARREL CHAR IN A JAR KIT
DIY cocktail fans, here's a fun project to liven up your favorite spirits. The Barrel Char in a Jar comes with an assortment of high-end toasted and charred wood samples pieces (including oak, cherry, yellow birch, and sugar maple) that you add to rum, tequila, whiskey or any other distilled liquor. The
alcohol and the wood interact, pulling out flavorful compounds known as vanillins and tannins, giving it a wonderful and unique taste, color and aroma. The kit also comes with a quart-sized jar and two sample bottles to do a before and after comparison of your new brew.
Aging and flavoring your liquor is said to be "fun and easy to do," and there are tutorials online to help guide you through the process, if need be.

EAU GOOD DUO
November marks the launch of the revolutionary new charcoal filter and fruit infuser bottle, Eau Good Duo, introduced on the crowdfunding site Kickstarter. This beautifully designed bottle is stylish, a pleasure to use, and, most importantly, makes tap water taste great.
With an activated stick of Japanese Binchotan charcoal in the bottle, it softens water, adds good minerals such as calcium, removes contaminants, balances PH and absorbs unwanted tastes and odors, such as chlorine. In addition, with its built-in infuser cap, you can simply fill the bottle with your favorite fresh fruits and herbs for added flavor. There's no limit to the healthy drinks you can create (just make sure you remove the charcoal first). The leak-proof spout has been specially engineered for a great flow of water. If you want to drink direct from the bottle instead, they've put the thread on the inside, so it feels like you are drinking from a regular glass.
You can back the Eau Good Duo on Kickstarter. Starting at $31 and set for delivery in May 2018.
