I love going thrifting looking for glasses and mugs

@steveshow-tos5394 Ай бұрын

Totes agreed about the fruit and mint comments. I moved to socal about seven years ago and bought/planted citrus trees before even buying furniture. Makes cocktailing so fun when you can get your produce right outside your back door. And agreed about the mint. Such a great garnish! But it’s as invasive as an old Billy goat. So keep it in a pot for sure.

Great video, Spike! For those of you who may not live near a Sonic; Chic-fil-A will sell you a 5 lb bag of pebble ice for less than $2!

@brianwohlberg9810 2 жыл бұрын

Great point. The benefit of Chick-fil-A ice is that the bag is half the size of the Sonic bag so it fits easier in a full freezer. The only drawback is that they are larger ice pieces than Sonic.

When I first started making tiki cocktails I was told to pick on drink and get the ingredients for that then pick another and so on. Trying to buy lots of different rums to make anything is a quick way to go broke. 🤣

Yeah, totally!! 😂😂😂

@whossoul 2 жыл бұрын

That's what I did too! I went through the SC book and was like "okay what ingredients can I buy that will open up the most drinks" and bought those first, then started buying things that were only used in a couple drinks a bottle or two at a time. It was a good way to slowly build up my collection of more specialty ingredients without going broke.

@stevebelongie7031 2 жыл бұрын

barry has his tiki drink app. which helps! you can either set your "bar stock" with what you have then it will find drinks you can make, or plug in a few ingredients and it will go from there.

@nickmorton8998 2 жыл бұрын

I learned a lot about rum from Martin’s SC book and I learned a lot about tiki and it’s history from Jeff’s 10th Anniversary version of Sippin’ Safari. I would say those two books would be the best foundation for someone just getting into tropical cocktails.

@BreezewayCocktailHour 2 жыл бұрын

I totally agree. I thought that Sippin' Safari was a little too inside baseball for someone just starting out. An incredible book though!!

Tip from a bartender who worked in Japan... dont press your limes and lemons too hard. its better to leave some juice than get piff flavor in your juice.

On the note of ice, I would recommend that a canvas Lewis bag and a wooden mallet make for an affordable and relatively easy method of turning ice cubes into crushed ice.

Love the show! Very informative. I've been a Tiki enthusiast for around 5-6 years following my initial interest in Scotch and beer. My gateway to Tiki was Martin Cate's "Smuggler's Cove" but was first exposed to Tiki Culture as a kid in Hawaii in 1967 when visiting my aunt and uncle who bought me my first Mai Tai at the Royal Hawaiian. I had the opportunity to visit places such as the original International Marketplace, which was created by Donn Beach where he also had a treehouse as his HQ. All of this made an impression and years later, my interest in Tiki was reawakened when I read Martin Cate's book.

@BreezewayCocktailHour Жыл бұрын

Yeah, Martin's book really is great. I was also able to visit the International Marketplace before they destroyed it.

I’m using the OXO jiggers for measuring. They have big “steps” for the measurements so it’s easy to see in your dark bar vs. the sexy Japanese jigger. OXO must have changed the design of the measuring cup, the markings on mine are just etched and not black. My bar is pretty dark and I can’t see them. It is good to juice limes into however and then measure with a jigger.

If getting a new top down mixer, I suggest getting the Hamilton Beach Drinkmaster model 65120. It has an all metal spindle and blades. I bought a 727 and the ice broke the plastic blade spindle. The 65120 is pricey, I bought mine from Amazon for $100, but I haven't had any trouble since. Great show Spike, love the Breezeway.
