Powdered Alcohol Is Now Legal, but Should You Drink It?

Mar 13 2015 - 11:25am

When you hear the words "powdered alcohol," a few thoughts probably come to mind: Does it work like Kool-Aid? If you mix it with Tang, do you make a powdered screwdriver? Can people sprinkle it on top of snacks for a boozy delight? OK, so maybe these were just the questions that ran through my head when the news of powdered alcohol's legalization [1] was announced, but the public definitely has similar questions.

Palcohol [2], the company that started the conversation about powdered alcoholic beverages, will soon start selling its variety of products on the market. Powdered liquor options include rum and vodka, while Palcohol also carries powdered cocktails like cosmopolitans, lemon drops, and "powderitas" (which taste like margaritas) — all of which contain the same alcoholic content as their liquid counterparts. Simply mix the powder with six ounces of water, shake, and enjoy.

While the launch of Palcohol has been surrounded by controversy [3], we like to think that consumers will handle the product responsibly. Instead of focusing on potential downsides to this new alcohol option, we decided to think up some fun cocktail possibilities instead!

How do you feel about the legalization of powdered alcohol, and what would you make with the new invention?
