That’s all on you, the video length is right there as are all the other videos that cover this from other creators, it’s not my fault you clicked on mine

@@cmcocktails didn't mean it in a negative way. Maybe I saw a similar video so i commented

@@cmcocktails don't get me wrong. Every clip is for someone who is at a different stage. So maybe I had seen a few earlier. You have done a good job.

Thanks

Awesome, I suggest you watch the video as it explains everything :)

@@cmcocktails I did watch the video but English is not my first language and as I wasn't sure if I understood well the thing about "two years", I simply asked this question. I can see it's too hard to simply be kind and answer. 🙄

There are plenty of options for blue curacao use, outside (of course) of using it for any cocktail that calls for orange liqueur (e.g. margarita). The Blue Hawaiian, Adios Mother Fucker (AMF) which is like a long island iced tea (but blue, with sprite instead of coke), Blue Lagoon, the layered shot that's red white and blue (often for 4th of july, etc.), the alien brain hemorrhage shot, and probably a few dozen others that I've not really put a lot of time into. I've done tons of them over the years, but not all of them are probably classic or the best cocktails I've had, but may be worth trying. For me, I always have at least one bottle on hand because of this cocktail, the blue Hawaiian, and the AMF. Those 3 alone justify keeping a $10 in my inventory :) Or, if you ever have someone come over that wants "something different", you can sub in blue curacao for orange liqueur and make it look new and exciting even if it's an old classic :)

@@cmcocktails Oh ok.. hey if it subs for orange liqueur in general I can see it being used alot.. thanks for the tip and great videos

@@userperson5259 blue curaçao is an orange liqueur. It just happens to be blue

@@cmcocktails Never knew that! You are truly teaching me how to drink..

Thanks :) Something to do while inflation is high and people are looking to save money. I know they say the inflation numbers "are down", but it's kinda a game. When I can go to the grocery store and buy groceries for a reasonable amount of money, I'll agree "inflation is down"

Yeah that is a winter drink, whiskey in a glass. Not for the heat :-)

Sure, they’d make $8 a cocktail, but they start at $15 from what I see on some menus

@@cmcocktails Well, that's my point. They could do $9.99 happy hour drinks and still make money.

yeah, as a good starting minimum, but if you were ordering that as a tourist to somewhere like Waikiki I bet it's easy $20+

well, one of the bars in that hotel is charging $15 for one; just checked their online menu :)

haha, thanks. Recorded it a few hours ago and got it up. Forgot I had to get a video out today lol

I agree

thanks!

primarily because people sometimes just send me random stuff, and I put it to the side for filming, then when I need extra content we would review it... so you go in blind. I hate reading any of the PR fluff they send because it's going to make you "like" it more before you've even tried it

Perhaps you missed the concept presented on the title, this is a margarita with margarita mix. If you like a traditional recipe we have done that too, but I don’t use salt because it usually makes them worse. That’s a personal, optional, ingredient.

Thanks

@@cmcocktails The recent budget series is a good idea - especially for summer. Are you going to do a live marathon anytime soon? I don't usually watch the whole thing live, but I watch/listen later.

Yeah, eventually. Summer is a tough time to get folks to commit on a Friday or Saturday night

Yep, it’s what teaches people that “I don’t like tequila” phrase

How much is Hornitos there?

Hornitos Plata Tequila 750 mL $47.99 Canadian where I live

yeah, that's definitely going to raise the price per cocktail :)

@@cmcocktails No kidding.. stuff is expensive anymore.. I just don't want High Fructose Corn Syrup in my cocktail... I'm afraid cheap Triple Sec probably has that... Hey AI says Dekuyper doesn't have it. Dekuyper for the win!

I doubt it, unless they have a different recipe for other countries, many countries don’t allow HFCS. But, then again what is the fear of HFCS if your literally poisoning yourself with alcohol :-)

@@cmcocktails I prefer "natural" poison. 😁

I dunno, none of my left liberal friends say that, maybe that’s just what they say on social media. Then there is reality

@@cmcocktails Those are the words of a recent president very popular with liberals. He and his wife stated they hated the America they grew up in and were going to fundamentally change it. The statements are a matter of record, and words mean things. Why someone would vote for and champion someone who said that about their country I cannot fathom.

If words mean things than we are in a lot of trouble, lol. Because we have a current president that can barely say words and another that has said quite a few bad words about a lot of people .. lol. I have already decided who I’m voting for and that person is under the age of 75

@@cmcocktails Bad words, when warranted are not an undesirable thing. Everything is not perfect and beyond repute. You have to remember that a lot of people have said quite a few bad words about him in pursuit of their own agendas, not the least of which was his opponent in the debate calling him a liar after he himself stated no serviceman had died under his administration, the U.S. has a thousand trillionaires and "we" killed Medicare. Good to see though that you are voting, as many seem not to realize the responsibility that comes with that franchise and are waiting for that "perfect" candidate that is in total alignment with their beliefs, which ain't gonna happen.

I’m not new to voting, I have been voting since I was 18, I think that was Bill Clinton. But, there is no way in hell I can vote for either of these horrible two choices, and refuse to live on a world that won’t admit the two party system is a tradition not a requirement

Fresh strawberries are fine, you can get a device to get the little heads off (or a knife) and it's fine.

Yeah, probably the ones we did 6 years ago here kzfaq.info/get/bejne/o9ZjZtSdrKvUZ30.html

@@cmcocktails awesome!👍 I found out about them and they do some pretty high quality stuff there

Thanks

KZfaq must like me today :)

@@cmcocktails I watched a whole bunch of your videos some years back. I thought they were entertaining and informative. 👌🥃

invest in your future!

you'll probably want to contact bacardi, I don't represent them and couldn't speak on their behalf on how they handle their product line. Is this a flavored rum or a mixer? If it's just flavored rum, then it's probably fine because it's alcohol. Otherwise, not sure.

Nice, I’d pay $0.20 extra never to go into that hellhole tho :-)

@@cmcocktails I hear ya. LOL. Unfortunately, in the remote hinterlands I live in there aren't a lot of choices. As ridiculous as it sounds, we feel fortunate to have our little Wal Mart.

haha, yeah, he swings by every year or so, but usually not long enough to hang out for more than an hour or so.

not often do I see it, but sometimes. Most of the stuff they sell, around here anyway, is caramel, chocolate, toffee, vanilla, and "standard" flavors, you gotta go out of your way to get almond. But, you can get Torani Almond Syrup on amazon for like $14 for a 25 oz bottle. That still seems a bit steep, thought it was like $6 a bottle, but maybe that was pre-pandemic before the US printed money out of existence.

we didn't miss the salt, it's pretty much always optional (and usually rimming of glasses). While a pinch of salt doesn't hurt, it also tends to reduce the tartness you may get from some of the beverages, if this was a super tart drink it would definitely help, but it's just not tart enough for me to care.

thanks

yeah, ended up making them last Sunday, added a bit of Dole Pineapple/Orange to it (and a bit of orange liqueur) instead of orange curacao.

yeah, we use it all the time (like in the latest video), but I don't think we need a massive blind tasting to know it's tasty :)

yep, looks like he did 1 oz instead of 1/4 oz -- but 3 drops of ango is dumb, 3 dashes makes far more sense, who doesn't love ango.
