    David! Thanks for making it, I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I'm excited to be on Margarita Monday!
    People could do it with tequila of course if mezcal is not their thing. Cheers!!

    My goal is to shake with a glass like you did. Do you not have to use the topper that comes with a shaker kit? It’s always dribbling and leaking when we try it out. Maybe we should have been using a glass this whole time? Great looking drink Dave.

    • @boozeontherocks
      @boozeontherocks  3 года назад +1

      It's mostly practice, as it gets colder i seals better. But you have to get the components seated right. The pint glass that I use takes a bit more to get the seal started, so give it 10 seconds then start to shake.

    Looks great, what is the purpose of adding acids to the watermelon?

    • @boozeontherocks
      @boozeontherocks  3 года назад

      Good question Ed. In this case the acids are a substitute for Lime Juice. This is based on Dave Arnold's recipe for Lime Acid. So adding the acids to the existing watermelon juice give you a watermelon/lime combination that would be the equivalent of add the same amount of lime juice. So if you don't have limes but have the acids you can make an equivalent.
      You can use this method in a variety of uses including classifying cocktails. although I do prefer fresh lime juice.
