A Complete Breakfast... in a Cocktail?
Drinking in the morning? Usually frowned upon... unless you call it Brunch! Let's look at some classic Brunch cocktails, the Mimosa & Bellini. The European favorite, Aperol Spritz & Elderflower Spritz. And then let's put breakfast in a glass with a Bacon and Maple cocktail with egg white and a waffle garnish.
I'll also show you how you can make your own bacon flavored spirits at home, super easy, and delicious.

Tiki Old Fashioned: A "Tiki-fy This" Challenge

Let's put some tiki where it doesn't belong! To challenge myself, I want to try using tiki flavors and ingredients in classic cocktails that are as far away from tiki as possible. Tiki is known for having a large number of ingredients, citrus, tropical juices, and lots of rum. So, I started with one of the most difficult, a 3-ingredient whiskey cocktail.

Whiskey, Spices, and Smoke, The Ghost of Smokey Joe

"The Ghost of Smokey Joe" was a song by Cab Calloway in the 1930's. It was a follow-up to his song "Minnie the Moocher". So it's the perfect name for a variation of the Minnie the Moocher cocktail recipe. The credit for this cocktail goes to John Champion, who left his variation of the classic Minnie the Moocher cocktail in the comments section on DiffordsGuide.com. It replaces the original rec...

Zombie, The First Tiki Drink?

The Zombie is one of the earliest tiki cocktails. First appearing on the "Don's Beachcomber" menu in 1934, one year after Prohibition ended.

Shrunken Skull - The Easy Tiki Cocktail

Tiki cocktails usually have a high bar for entry. Multiple spirits and liqueurs, exotic juices, multiple pieces of fruit for the garnish... and don't forget the tiny umbrella. All for just 1 drink. But if you want a real tiki drink without all of that, try the Shrunken Skull. Just 4 ingredients, nothing exotic or hard to find. And it tastes great. 2 kinds of rum, Lime Juice, and Grenadine.

Instead of trying to make a pumpkin flavored cocktail, or a Candy Corn drink, let's make something delicious, and dress it up with the right name and look.

    This is a fun video. Your Christmas Spice Cookie Old Fashioned comes the closest to what I do. I use a packet of Sugar in the Raw and MUDDLE it with five dashes on Ango and just a splash of seltzer water (optional). Then I stir in the whiskey with a some ice and an Amerena cherry (I used to use Luxardos, but I like the sweeter Amarenas a little more). Finally I pour it over one large ice cube express an orange slice over it and stick the orange peel and cherry on a pick for the garnish. Since it's impossible to muddle all the sugar into the drink, it will get sweeter as you get to the bottom, but you don't get that graininess this way; just a nice little kiss of sweetness at the end.

    • @speakeasyspirits
      @speakeasyspirits 27 дней назад

    • @speakeasyspirits
      @speakeasyspirits Месяц назад

      Yes it does! I tested the frozen egg whites vs fresh in identical whiskey sours. Couldn't identify any difference between fresh and frozen. Same texture, same flavor. It works best if you put it in the shaker with one of the other ingredients and use a muddler to break it up. That way it integrates quick when you shake. And best bar is the should be good in the freezer for up to 12 months.

    Sounds absolutely amazing. I can see why it took you so long to come up with something like this. Classic cocktails are simple yet effective. Tiki-fying an old fashioned may at first glance sound easy but you can quickly start to break down how difficult of a task it actually is. You tackled this challenge in a way that I wouldn't have thought to do but kept it in the spirit of an old fashioned that sounds complex and tropical. Cant wait to try it myself! My favorite of all time cocktail is a Vieux Carre. That one sounds pretty challenging to tiki-ify!

    This could be considered the Saks 5th Avenue (the flagship store in Manhattan) version of enhancing hot chocolate. I accidentally discovered the Dollar General version at a bar on a cold winter's night many years ago, pouring the remainder of two drinks into one glass for the hell of it: Hot chocolate and Fireball (about a decade ago when Fireball was just becoming a thing).

    I like this idea. Choose a style of cocktail you want and focus on it, rather than the usual “here’s the 5 bottles you need to make anything” type of recommendation, which tends to leave you not being able to make what you really want to drink. I started out by listing a couple of dozen or so cocktails I wanted to try, and then selecting the ingredients that would allow me to make the largest number of them. I already had most of the base spirits, so I was focusing on the liqueurs and fortified wines I needed. I think I started with dry vermouth, maraschino, triple sec, Benedictine and Chambord. A year or so down the line, and they are still the ones I use most.

    My preferred Manhattan uses equal parts 50% abv rye and high quality sweet vermouth. This gives you the same final abv as a 2:1 Manhattan made with 40% abv rye, but you get more of the taste of the vermouth. I think Angostura bitters works better than a Boker's style bitters, and that may be why Angostura bitters survived the 1970s and '80s.

      A Classic. And how I usually drink mine... except when shooting a video in the summer without A/C. Thanks for the comment!

    Great video, and the Last Word is my wife’s favorite cocktail! Your story is similar to my story. Cheap beer in college, then whisky cokes at country dance halls, to nicer whiskeys and craft beers, wines, and then crafted cocktails - which I then began making at home. Subscribed! Keep up the good work!
