After coming up with breathable cocktails, the remarkable duo Sam Bompas and Harry Parr are back. They're known to continually provide the most remarkable concepts in introducing food and cocktail drinks. One of their most popular installation were the breathable alcohol, where in customers would have to inhale to get the alcohol to kick in.

As per the Grub Street website, the duo is back once again, and this time, they're focused in bringing in the most unique cocktail bitters. They will be introducing one of the most ridiculous concoctions which is coming up with a cocktail bitters made up of human tears. Yes! You're reading it right; the team came up with distilled tears.

Bompas and Par will be hosting a workshop which would be held in London. The workshop would run for a couple of days where in the public would be able to enroll to participate.

Each participant will be taught how to extract the tears; they would then be taught how to have it pasteurized. After the whole process the tears would then be tinctured and placed into bottles of bitters.

Each tear bottle will be extracted through three methods, which simply means that there would be three types of tears which are basal, reflex, and psychic tears.

Each bitter is then infused with flavors which would range from a variety of aromatic herbs and spices that would be either be infused of tinctured. The choice on whether to have it high proof spirit or not is also made available.

The participant would then be able to name and dedicate his/her bitter and make it like a concoction or a poison from the medieval times depending on the participant's bottle design preference.

Tickets for the workshop is made available on the Bompas and Par website, which is for £25.

 "The ticket price includes the bitters and memento mori workshop, a monk brew accompanied by an impassioned classical soundtrack to encourage the tears and an hour session and free cocktail at Alcoholic Architecture. The bitters action will take place by candlelight in the British Museum of Food, then with gifts made, you'll be led free to enjoy the Alcoholic Architecture experience."
