Great news, 5-6 more Rum Barrel videos coming our way. Derek, you mentioned Steve Crane's 1961 Kon Tiki, Trader Vic's Rum Keg, Mai Kai Barrel O' Rum, and the shrouded in secrecy Smuggler's Cove. Really looking forward to your take on my white whale rum barrel from Smuggler's Cove. Many have tried to reverse engineer it; wishing you good fortune.
The recipe I use at home based on my internet research (having never had the real one) is this (which is delicious): * 1 oz white rum * 1 oz aged Demerara * ½ oz 151 * 1 oz lime juice * 1 oz pineapple juice * 1 oz Demerara syrup * ¼ oz vanilla syrup * ¼ oz allspice dram
@@brandonsanchez9453 Thank you for sharing. Very similar to the spec I use. I use 1oz Molasses Syrup instead of Demerara plus 1 dash of Angostura Bitters. I use ED 3Y, ED 8Y and Plantation OFTD as the rum mix.
Love your videos, just the right amount of commentary and history and great bartending! Most of all I love your shirts! You should have a link where we can buy them, seriously!
I’ve got my own rum barrel spec that I make. Good stuff.it’s a fun style of drink to explore! The Smuggler’s Cove drink is my favorite out in the wild!
So, that’s a drink for two? Did you drink it all by yourself? That must have been fun! 🎉 Beautiful video. I need some rum barrel mugs like that one, I reckon.
Great start to the series. Looking forward to the rest. I plan on adding this to The Mai-Kai cocktail guide as the ancestor recipe. There are so many similarities, I'm sure Mariano Licudine just tweaked it slightly to create his version. Also worth noting: I think this is the version (or very similar) served by Beachbum at Latitude 29 since they opened.
I love dons rum barrel. I had a similar experience with it compared to yours with Garretts Grog. When you look on the recipe it's so easy, yet it delivers such a balanced and spicy cocktail. The 4oz of booze just hold me back, drinking it every Friday. Love to see other interpretations, but I reckon that I'll stay true to dons, just because of my eye opening experience with this particular cocktail. (And don't get started with summglers cover version as they purportedly use selter to "lengthen" it 😮, anyhow Martin is a great influential rum nerd & personality, and I love his work.)😂
Well played @0:43 hahaha. My wife just had the barrel at the new DTB last week. Not sure if it's this spec or not but it was solid. Looking forward to trying all these.

Looking forward to this series! I just had the Smuggler's Cove Rum Barrel last week and MAMA MIA that's good.
Awesome I’ve been running through some recently myself. Just made doc parks run barrel in minimalist tiki. SUPER STRONG lol
I just wish I would’ve discovered this channel sooner! Excellent history lessons, great production values, and awesome cocktails!
Thank you!

It’s the deep state. Always watching.
Looks delicious, but sailor Jerry and spiced coke with a lime is my Saturday night jam.
In the intelligent words of Rodney Dangerfield, “the Rum Barrel just don’t get no respect”.
Make & Drink: "...1oz gold jamaican rum..."
Me: *pours 1oz of Smith & Cross*
Yeah à rum barrel !
Any more details on what "Honey Mix" is?
I use 2 parts honey to 1 part water, but some specify 1:1 ratios.
@@makeanddrink thank you!
Where did you get that barrel mug from mate? Please link 😀
Disneyland
@@makeanddrink damnit
Is honey mix like a honey syrup?
Yes. Either 2:1 or 1:1

Don beach recipes are always so damn complex with 10 ingredients... It's just really not realistic in the home settings lol.
