Integrative and Comparative Biology, 2014
We describe the inspiration, development, and deployment of a novel cocktail device modeled after a class of water-walking insects. Semi-aquatic insects like Microvelia and Velia evade predators by releasing a surfactant that quickly propels them across the water. We exploit an analogous propulsion mechanism in the design of an edible cocktail boat. We

The joy of a good cocktail is used as a vehicle to discuss the complex biology and neurochemistry of flavor and flavor pairings.
