Step 4Making your drinks!
Now that you have your pearls, you can do anything you want with them!
I could see just having dishes of these at your drink station for people to add their own, or you can prepare some creepy cocktails like these:
They can basically be added to any drink or shot where the flavors will work. They also don't have a ton of taste, so they won't mess up a drink.
Add to a basic martini or cosmopolitan, for example.
#Basic black and white balls for a 'Caviar' martini.
#Frog Egg Shooter - Whitish opaque pearls (these were the orange liqueur ones) in a Midori shot
#Fish Egg Shooter - Your favorite clear pink shooter with a mix of pink and white balls.
#Or how about Grasshopper Eye Shooter (basic Grasshopper* recipe with Green Creme de Menthe balls)
#Blue berry-flavored balls in a Grand Marnier shot. The blue is my favorite -- I think these would also be fabulous in a vodka tonic...
*Grasshopper from cocktails.about.com:
2. Shake well.
3. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass.

Could you tell approximately how much alcohol was absorbed by the pearls? Because it could be useful for individuals who don't like the taste of alcohol and could have them floating in a cocktail with a low alcohol percentage, or even no alcohol, and they wouldn't taste the flavour of the alcohol as much.
