I wonder if OFTD would have paired better with the bourbon but I don't think I've ever disliked a drink with S&C in it ... Another great episode, Derek!
Most certainly adding to my summer menu for the year. Excellent presentation. Also love the new format, where you build the cocktail first and the story later. Your story telling is on point as always, so I had to stick around for that.. Thank You so much.. !!!
Odd question: I love your taste in music for these videos. Would it be possible to get the songs added to the description? Harry Yee made some great cocktails!
All of the music I use is stock/royalty free from Epidemic Sound or Artlist. And all of it is "Shazamable" if looking for the exact song. I have hundreds of songs saved I pull from so I usually don't even know the name and by the time I'm adding the descriptions. I've also seen people straight up copy and paste my video descriptions and formatting, so I don't share too much in there.
This is delicious and will definitely be added to the rotation. I still haven't added a S&C to my collection so I used OFTD and I used Heaven Hill BIB. At some point I'll grab the S&C and try that too, just have too many other bottles at the moment. Thanks for sharing, cheers 🍹
Great video - thanks! I made the Tropical Standard version a while back and loved it. I’m gonna give this a spin now - looks promising :-) Also: looking forward to more Harry Yee stuff later on - great idea to deep dive a bit on interesting tiki profiles besides the usual suspects.
The Tropical Standard update of this cocktail is outstanding, so I'm looking forward to trying this variation. Also, definitely check out the Port Light for a great bourbon-passionfruit tropical cocktail, if you haven't already.
@adamlindsley1143 it was a pretty common term in the early 1900s for a scabies like infection. The Scialom version came first but not much indication Yee copied any aspect of the drink. Prob just coincidence in naming.
Love Bourbon & Rum Drinks, will add this as a "drink to make" as that you don't see many split-base bourbon-rum drinks. I think you've made the Halekulani before but would definitely recommend trying out the Iron Ranger & Port Light if you get the chance!
A totally under-appreciated classic. While it's not up to the same standards as the Three Dots version, a guilty pleasure of mine is the Backscratcher, the version served at Disney World's Polynesian Village resort since the 1970s. Disney drinks from the '70s are typically awful, but not so with this one.
looks delicious but the annoying thing about cocktails sometimes is that there are different recipes all over the place for the same drink. Sippin' Safari makes a Tropical Itch with gin and white puerto rican rum. These are 2 totally different drinks lol. I love Smith & Cross and John D. Taylor's in anything so excited to try this one!
Yes they are totally different. They were made by different bartenders in different parts of the world. They just happen to have the same name. Probably coincidence.
Trader Joe’s sells an excellent tangerine juice, just FYI
I would think swapping in Okolehao for the bourbon could work as well.
Three Dots Chicago is an amazing place. Hope I can go back someday.
Their cocktail presentation is second to none!

or Rum Fire ?
One of my favorite recipes, excellent job Derek!

Thank you!
Very well explained, this will be made this evening :-) happy you said the Bourbon is not dominant.

Haven’t had that variation yet but will whenever I get a few missing ingredients.

I’m sure the TS one is great, but that one is based on the Joe Scialom version and they’re not the same. Just share the same name.
@@makeanddrink Ah, interesting, thanks for clarifying!

Made this today and really liked it! More citrus forward than the other version but still delicious.
Have you ever done viewer submissions?
Man, I would love to just pay $1.25 for a drink 😭

Blue Leilani incoming 🥳🥳
Tiki Tom’s in Walnut Creek has a pretty good one on their menu and it includes a backscratcher. Cheers!
I ordered one of these at a bar in Lahaina just to get the Backscratcher. Still have it.
Something blue?! The TS blue Hawaii take is awesome!

That recipe is unfortunately missing from my “Cooking with Mickey Around the World” book. It has a Mai Tai recipe that calls for 9 oz of water.
amaizing cocktail i love it¡¡¡
I have to find them mini backscratchers somewhere
It’s a normal backscratcher plus a Japanese pull saw.
