Super video, I’ve been making cocktails at home for a while but still so much information. I like the Sekforde Lime, mint and Cacao mixer in a mojito, it also helps makes an awesome mocktail mojito. The Hurricane and Rum Punch are two I’ve never paid much attention too but after this most definitely. Sometimes I’ll double strain the Painkiller into a coupe or a martini glass with the nutmeg, makes it a little more lush

@CinHotlanta Жыл бұрын

Love a Mai Tai (just got my first bottle of OFTD, can't wait to use that for this), a classic daiquiri, a Hemingway daiquiri and the Painkiller is one of my primary standbys - I'm spoiled by a local farmer's market that keeps me in fresh cold-pressed pineapple juice. I love experimenting with different rums in all of those. Others that I love but play with less - Ancient Mariner (but usually just use demerara rums, I go a bit heavier on the allspice dram than the recipes call for, and sub demerara syrup for the simple) and Navy Grog (usually just use overproofs in those).

If my glas is 200ml but I have only 50ml cocktail, that's garbage and I have to do it all again :D Your videos are great, now please do them in German! :D

The Corn n Oil is a very simple blend of Rum (traditionally Barbados) and Falernum. Nowadays maybe some Angostura Bitters get added. But that’s it. Your recipe above is 100% a Daq 👍

Steve. Why do you squeeze the limes for the Mojito in the glass using the rod? Are you not worried you risk cracking the glass? Is it not better to do all this in your metal shaker instead?

@StevetheBarmanUK 3 ай бұрын

Muddling Limes you mean?! If you can break a glass by muddling, you’re using one cheap and thin glass. In 30 years, I’ve never broken a glass when muddling. Even fine crystal ones… 😂 (and I’ve never known anyone to make a mojito in a separate mixer tin or glass, then pour into a serving glass. Even in Cuba/Puerto Rico it’s made direct in the glass…by Muddling…but with actual Sugar.

Only 5... choices, choices. Pain Killer ... not an obvious choice but a GREAT tropical suggestion. Daiquiri, check. Mojito, check. Rum Punch, check. You need to make room for the Mai Tai, so the Hurricane comes off the list. Explain yourself Steve, the Mai Tai doesn't make the short list?😁

@elgatofelix8917 Жыл бұрын

I'm sure there's another explanation, but I'll venture to guess that the Mai Tai was perhaps not included due to it having so many possible iterations which some say stems from it's hazy and disputed origins.

@StevetheBarmanUK Жыл бұрын

I hear ya. But remember this is Beginner. The Mai Tai and it’s Rum blend is far from beginner. I mean you could use just one Rum, maybe even 2. But they do the cocktail no favours and don’t give a true reflection of what the Cocktail actually tastes like. So the Mai Tai needs to be worked up to. I mean there’s already comments on the video from people that don’t have the confidence to make these. So basic ingredients, with just 1 Rum is beginner level…and that’s what many Competent Rum Cocktail fans forget…

The Painkillers Ive made were fine but not great. Your recipe is a bit different so I'll give it a try. My Piña Colada is very popular with my guests 2 Plantation 3 Stars: 2 Pineapple Juice 1 Coconut (Coco Lopez or Reál) .25 Lime Juice (adds tartness to the pineapple) .125 Orgeat (adds a touch of nuttiness to the coconut) Blended with a glass of crushed ice until the big chunks are gone. I like the Hurricane very much but my guests are less fond of passionfruit. I often use Cointreau instead of sugar syrup in a Daiquiri and it's delicious. (is that a Cuban sidecar?)

The amount of ice doesn’t change the dilution, basic physics.

@StevetheBarmanUK 6 ай бұрын

I think you’re agreeing with me…but just to clarify and translate what you’ve written for anyone reading…the amount of Ice DOES change the Dilution. Less Ice = Melting Quicker and more dilution. More Ice = melts Slower and Less Dilution. Same as shaking with 8oz of Crushed Ice and 8oz of Cubed Ice. Crushed Ice cos of the surface area will give MORE dilution 👍
