Oh yeah, that was nice, though I think I should have used a Nigiri Sake, but that would have defeated the purpose of the clarification. I was surprised by how many people loved the Goat Cheese cocktail!

Awww, no one has ever called me 'boo' before... I like it! Thanks!

Still have a gallon of Sangria left!

Yes, and the other term commonly used is 'cordial', but both of those have more regular definitions. 'Oleo Saccharum Simple Syrup' breaks my spell check and is also redundant, so I broke down "essential oil simple syrup' to Essential Syrup.

I didn't know you liked Pina Coladas. We should escape to O'Malley's for Coladas and dancing!

Awesome! I'm glad you liked it. The first part with my parents: totally true. The second half with Velma and Daphne, um... I'm checking out your channel right now.

@@BitterSteve I'm a huge Scooby Doo fan anyway especially the series from the 80s!!

It's just some type of cloth, similar to cheesecloth. I prefer this because it has a tighter and more consistent weave.

Yeah, that version of the shrub with the lemon and clove was ridiculously delicious, and I recommend trying it out even if all that's left is frozen cherries and cider vinegar. The addition of the zest and spice knocks it out of the park, and there's probably a hundred more cocktails out there that will shine with this as the base.

There's plenty of shrub left! Anytime you want!

It's awesome that you found my video, and even more awesome that it was useful for you!! Double Awesome!!! I wonder if it wouldn't be prudent to use the boiling water, spices, and sugar to make a syrup, and then cool it before adding in the rest. I'd be afraid the heat would negatively affect the pineapple juice. Ahhh, probably doesn't matter because of the clarification. Batavia Arrack is one of those secret ingredients everyone should be using.

Yeah, no problem. I probably said in the video that I was gonna do that.

@@BitterSteve Thank you!

Thanks! It should be coming soon! (That punch won 'best cocktail' at an event a few months ago)

Haha! Haunt your dreams with deliciousness!

Thanks! You should come over tonight and try it out! Netflix and Punch?

I'm sure if I used Sauza with a bottle of Margarita Mix I could've gotten it down to 50 cents a drink, but who wants that?! I stand by my belief that a better Tequila doesn't always make a better Margarita.

The worst part about clarification, is when you go all the way through the process, and it's still cloudy. Now when that happens, I know it's my own fault for cutting corners or doing something stupid. Of course, even a cloudy punch still tastes good!

I'll whip us up a batch tonight! I'll even splurge on a nicer tequila; I think I can spare a few extra coins.

Let me know if you try this out! It's super easy to make with lots of interesting possibilities. I may try the Yellow Chartreuse this week (using my parents as guinea pigs, as usual).

We should've put those on our burgers!

Thanks! This was a fun video to make, and I'm looking forward to (having the time to) watch part 2. I just subscribed to your channel

Thanks! Guava Marmalade is closer in flavor to Guava Paste than Guava Juice, so it's probably not what you would expect, though it's still a delicious punch!

@@BitterSteve thanks for the explanation. I will try to find guava marmalade and give this drink a try. Cheers!

Thanks! I had a lot of fun making this video (drinking these cocktails!). I'm surprised there aren't more recipes out there with Black Pepper Syrup, and it seems to go best with fruit cocktails.

@@BitterSteve thanks for the extra info. Appreciate it and hope will manage to try the syrup soon. Cheers!

Thanks! This one was fun to make, and I had hoped the cocktail came out better, but wow did that booze taste like grilled meat, just not in a good way.

Yeah, this one was fun to make. Delicious, too!

Thanks! This was a fun video to make (and research!). I don't know why Cognac and Peychaud's worked so much better than Bourbon and Angostura, and I'm sure there's a hundred more cocktails I need to try with Black Pepper Syrup.

@@BitterSteve yes at least 100. Do you have a discord?

I think one of my kids has discord. I'm on Insta as Bitter Steve, and am trying to get more active there. Should I get discord?

Thanks! I really appreciate your words, and I'm glad you like the video!

Isn't that the McDonald's slogan? I think you meant to say "You Rule!"

I think we're the only ones who like it...

I think you and me are the only people that like this video, shirt or no shirt.

I just used one for my "Carbost" cocktail video, so maybe one left? I'm sure I can make you a cocktail that tastes better than cheap champagne...

Thanks! This is the positivity we all need to start the new year!

After all these cocktails, I'm sure my shirt will look nicer on your bedroom floor...

and gin... and mezcal... and more rum

I was introduced to Makrut Lime Leaf through Thai Green Curry, and found ways to incorporate it into syrups and punches, because it adds just that little 'je ne sais quois' to elevate a cocktail. Having it in a bottle makes it so much easier!

Thanks! The last one is a bit Chartreuse heavy, though, so you need to be ready for it! I hunted down a bunch of those 'other' green herbal liqueurs, and am trying to put together a comparison.

My favorite is the Famphires Fiss, I mean the Vampyre's Kiss!

One more video and then you can have your bottle back!

Believe it or not, some of these cocktails taste good too...

Yes, this video is technically correct, the best kind of correct!

Oh, I totally do now, but the biggest hurdle I had was not disturbing the curds when pouring it through a 2nd or 3rd time, which made the problem worse. I finally solved that issue and you should check out the Pink Lemon Falernum video where I clarify a Pina Colada, and I should have a better clarification video coming out in the future that details how I made the clarification rig. Thanks for watching!

On the one hand, I cut the music down A LOT more than I expected, and I think there's something strange in the song that competes with my voice. On the other hand, someone actually wants to hear what I say! Thanks!

My wife says the exact same thing...
