Another fun thing to do with alcohol and LN2: if you have Everclear handy (the 95% stuff, not the 80% "Everclear" sold in some states), pour a bunch in a cup that can take LN2 temperatures without breaking and then stir it rapidly while pouring a thin stream of LN2 in. If you do it right, the alcohol will turn into a viscous liquid, very much like molten glass, instead of freezing. If you accidentally freeze it, just let it warm up until you can stir it. It won't work with low-proof liquor.

When it's in this state you can slowly pour a thick stream off of a spoon, or dump a blob into a drink to cool it down. Be careful, though; if you foolishly try to taste it you're liable to end up with lip-frostbite <cough>.

I think this is the most serendipitous thing we came across in a great deal of playing with LN2.
