    Hey Guys!
    So there are a few corrections needed for today's video the most glaring of which is I said Lemon for the Mai Tai???? Not sure why I'd say that other than shooting this drink at the end of a very long day of making a LOT of cocktails but of course the Mai Tai gets 1oz (30ml) of LIME, not lemon. 😂 Not sure how we didn't catch this but proof watching fifty cocktails is a pretty big task.
    Also we forgot show the 1/2oz (15ml) Lillet in the Vesper Aaaaand last correction is 3/8 (11ml) of an ounce of lime got left out of the Pisco sour edit. Apparently we need more eyes proof watching these cocktail videos so if anyone wants to volunteer, give us a shout!
    Cheers!
    Leandro

    As a young-ish person, it took me a long time to realize what "call" drinks are. This concept is not talked about enough! I feel like most young people (aged in their 20's) don't yet realize you can order drinks that aren't listed on the menu. If you want a negroni, and it's not on the menu, ask if they can make you one! They probably will!

      It's quite annoying I have to specify, every single time, that I want the "standard one, no strawberry, no frozen". Sometimes, when I feel particularly bad, I don't add anything, I pretend to look somewhere else while it gets made, and then I "show surprise" to what the bartender gives me and I go: "I didn't say strawberry, I meant classic", and he has to make it again.

    I've been making the mojito with your specs for the entirety of 2022, and it's 100% amazing. That being said, I find they go down really fast, so I started topping them with some tonic water just to have more volume to drink. The intensity of the flavour remains, which isn't the case if you top it with soda water. Either way, such a clutch summer drink!

    Great video, as a professional bartender myself it's cool to see the differences in specs across the globe. The thing that stands out to me is that over here in Europe, Belgium more specifically, a lot of the drinks use less sugar / simple syrup and more acidity. I often looked at the recipes calling for 22ml lemon and 22ml simple and went "huh, interesting, we use 30ml lemon and 20-22ml simple". Interesting stuff! I'll try out the sweeter versions when I'm back behind the bar

    • @kevlon_
      @kevlon_ 2 года назад +2

      True. Some of these specs are a little different from what I'd do at work, the Martini has A LOT of Vermouth for example. And the techniques and presentations are different here and there, but this is absolutely a great video/list for anyone getting into cocktails either at home or as a profession.

    That apron looks exactly like the same color and material besides the orange straps that I picked out to make my shop apron in my mandatory 1979, 8th grade Home Economics class. Which was basically girly crafts. So I chose sewing 🧵🪡 for that couple of months and got to wear that apron in the Wood 🪓 Workshop for the rest of the year.
    Then in 1980 I started with Stick Welding 🥽 in Freshman Year. I used that apron for many tasks in my Dad's House and that thing still hung on the coat rack I made in 8th grade in the garage until 2011. It didn't crumble when I tried it on while cleaning the house out because Mom and Dad passed away and we sold the old house in Nj that I grew up in since 1972
    THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES, all because of that blue denim apron you are wearing.
    By the way, my pocket was in the same spot and the same size pocket.

    Great video! Just and advice on the Mojito. Don’t take just the leaves. Throw two steams with the leaves two parts of lime then add 10 ml lime juice and smash it in the glass. Add 45 to 60 ml depending on the type of high ball glass you have (8onz will be the best glass) and stir everything. Then add ice, not crushed, and fill the Mojito with Sprite and stir again before garnish. And yes you read well, Sprite. Am 27 and I’ve been making mojitos since I was 15. That’s the best option. Also if you don’t have the Sprite and just have sparkling water just add 1 and a half spoons of white sugar before adding the pieces of lime. Just try it.

    caipirinha translates to “little countryside pearson”!
    and the really traditional caipirinha is done in one glass! using just the lime and the granulated sugar to muddle in order to extract the oils from the peel. then you add crackled ice and on top the cachaca, mixing it from the bottom to the top!

    Having spent three years perfecting the mojito and two years creating my own signature drink with mint, I've discovered that shaking the mint brings out an unpleasant bitter taste. Over-muddling can achieve the same effect. You should be muddling just enough to get all of the juice out of the limes. Adding more mint helps strengthen the mint flavor without needing to over-muddle.
    I also like to use a 3/2 ratio of white rum to dark rum for a little added complexity, and using demurara or turbinado sugar makes a HUGE difference.
