[Themagician]

Hello my friends!

I am new to this great forum, and I have a question.
I am a magician, and working on a new trick.
What I want to do is to make the color of food dye dissapear from vodka, such as it gets its clear again.

What I thought of first is using a waterfilter, but it would take too long.
Then I got the idea that there might be a chemical formula for doing this?
It is crucial for the experiment that it don't harm the vodka in any way, so that it's possible to drink and tastes good.

Is there anyone out there who can help me with this magic trick?

Sincerely Janet!

I guess the old water to wine trick will not work.

I am thinking that you do not want a dye.
Instead some food safe chemical that has a natural color and turns clear.
Maybe using lemon juice to make it acid and clear.

At this point I do not have time to search -- maybe I can later.
It seems that you could purchase the trick from a magic store.

I wouldn't suggest ingesting traditional pH indicators.
There are plenty of edible alternatives from plants,  though you may have trouble finding the precise color change that you want.
The pH will noticably affect the flavor if you are not near 7.
Normal beverages will be neutral to slightly acidic(and thus slightly sour).
You won't like the taste of alkaline vodka.

For water vodka to wine you would want it to be red or yellow at 3.5 pH, and clear at neutral.
If you could get the astringency to change based on pH too it might just be mildly convincing, lol.
