5 Classic Rum Cocktails

  • Rum is, quite literally, a very sticky subject- if it confuses you, please know you are not alone!
    Rum is a distilled spirit made from sugar cane, but that is about all everyone can agree on. Well, that and that it makes darn tasty drinks! It may be known for tiki drinks, but can also work in stirred down sippers and even my very favourite indulgent dessert cocktail!
    0:00 - WHAT IS RUM?
    0:30 - THE HURRICANE COCKTAIL
    40ml (1 & 1/3oz) light rum
    40ml (1 & 1/3oz) dark rum
    30ml (1oz) passionfruit syrup*
    30ml (1oz) fresh lemon juice
    Orange wedge to garnish
    Cherry to garnish
    Cocktail umbrella to garnish (optional!)
    A jigger
    Shaker tins
    A Hurricane glass, or regular rocks or highball is fine (the only problem is that Hurricane glasses are usually HUGE- as was the original recipe which calls for 2 full shots of each rum i.e. a 4 shot cocktail. You’d have to enlarge this recipe by at least half if you want to fill your glass up and really make a night of it!)
    Add all of your ingredients to your shaker tins, fill with ice, and shake hard! Pop your tins open and we’re just going to ‘shake and dump’ i.e. pour the entire contents of your shaker into the glass. Garnish - the cheesier the better - and enjoy.
    *Passionfruit Syrup:
    Mix equal parts 1:1 sugar syrup and passionfruit pulp or purée. Leave to sit for at least two hours, preferably overnight, then strain (or not, if you like the crunchy seeds).
    3:00 - EL PRESIDENTE
    40ml (1 & 1/3oz) flavourful white rum
    20ml (2/3oz) blanc vermouth
    10ml (1/4oz) dry curacao/triple sec
    Barspoon grenadine
    Orange twist to garnish
    A jigger
    A mixing glass
    A julep strainer
    A barspoon
    A coupe glass
    Add all of your ingredients to your mixing glass, fill the glass with ice and stir until it is chilled and diluted. Strain in to chilled coupe glass, fold orange twist over the drink to express the oils then place it in to garnish.
    5:14 - DARK & STORMY
    60ml (2oz) dark rum
    30ml (1oz) fresh lime juice
    About 120ml (4oz) ginger beer
    3 dashes Angostura bitters
    Lime wheels to garnish
    A jigger
    A barspoon
    A highball glass
    Add your rum and lime juice, and ginger beer to the glass (should be just under halfway) Add as much ice as you can fit, stir, add more ice and top with more ginger beer if necessary. Float 3 dashes of bitters on top, garnish with lime wheels and enjoy!
    7:28 - THE ROYAL BERMUDA YACHT CLUB
    50ml (1 & 2/3oz) rum (I actually prefer a full bodied white rum, to keep it brighter and fruitier, but the original recipe is with an aged rum which gives a richer cocktail)
    20ml (3/4oz) fresh lime juice
    15ml (1/2oz) falernum*
    5ml (1/4oz) curacao
    Lime wheel to garnish
    A jigger
    Shaker tins
    A hawthorn strainer
    A fine strainer
    A coupe glass
    *It is possible to make falernum, but it is a little fiddly. This is a good DIY recipe:
    punchdrink.com/recipes/falernum/
    Add all of your ingredients to your shaker tins and fill full with ice. Seal the tins together and shake as hard as you can. Pop the tins open and double strain, using the hawthorn strainer to hold the ice back in the tin and pouring through the fine strainer in to your coupe glass. Garnish with a lime wheel, and enjoy!
    9:48 - RUM EGGNOG
    This is part of the ‘Flip’ family, one of the oldest styles of cocktails.
    30ml (1oz) spiced rum
    30ml (1oz) ruby port or similar dessert
    20ml (3/4oz) sugar syrup
    20ml (3/4oz) cream
    1 egg
    Nutmeg to garnish
    A jigger
    Shaker tins
    A hawthorn strainer
    A fine strainer
    A coupe glass
    A microplane
    Add all ingredients to shaker tins, seal your tins together and ‘dry shake’ i.e. without ice (be careful!). Once everything has emulsified, fill your tin with as much ice as possible and shake hard. Pop the tins open and double strain, using the hawthorn strainer to hold the ice back in the tin and pouring through the fine strainer in to your coupe glass. Grate nutmeg on top to garnish, and enjoy!

    Yo Cara, i love that you actually explain your reasoning for selecting a specific brand of spirit for different cocktails. That part gets forgotten about too much. I've started putting together an at home bar cart of my own (since all the bars are closed) and it's helped me decide which spirits make the cart.

    • @BehindtheBar

    Something I would really, REALLY like to see....
    Versatile families of drinks, ones where there's a procedure and ratios that can work with a wide variety of ingredients. Daisies, Cobblers, Crustas, Sours, Fizzes. So many drinks we think of individually these days fit into these families, and having a sense of them would make it easier to improvise new drinks.

    • @BehindtheBar
      @BehindtheBar  3 года назад +1

      A very good suggestion and something that's been on our list for a while. We did a little of this in the 'What spirits to buy for making cocktails" video - 12:37 - showing how to get from a Gin Sour to a London Calling, but the whole evolution thing is really fascinating. There are so many videos we want to make so can't wait until we're big enough to be able to do 2 or 3 videos a week. Soon I hope!

    Never been that much into Rum, but very inspiring. Always wanted to make a Dark n Stormy with Goslings so might try and find a bottle. I think I’ve only really ever had a bottle of basic white rum around, so maybe that’s my problem. Will definitely try the egg nog as well.

    • @BehindtheBar
      @BehindtheBar  3 года назад +1

      I find that dark rum can substitute in to a lot of white rum cocktails (Daiquiri, Mojito etc) and still work, it just gives you a richer drink. But subbing white for dark can leave drinks a bit lacklustre cause they need the oomph and funk from a dark rum- definitely worth having one to hand if you want to explore more rum cocktails! Goslings is great but really pretty full on and chewy, so if you’re looking for something that would work in a Dark & Stormy but also some other drinks maybe Appleton’s (for something still quite heavy) or a Spanish style aged rum like Diplomatico Mantuano (for something lighter). Hope that helps!

    While visiting Madagascar: ginger rum, soda and lime juice. Ginger rum is made by filling a gallon jar with 3/4 gallon of rum, and fill the rest with chunks of fresh ginger. Let soak for about a week. The local rum is about $3/ litre. 1 litre of fruit juice is $4...

    Hi Cara. Did you know that The Original Hurricane recipe remains a trade secret according to the New Orleans bar where it was invented. According to these folks every published recipe for this drink is an approximation of what they still serve. I can't personally testify to this because after two or three it's impossible to taste any difference. The frozen concoctions served at carts durung Mardi Gras is pretty much swill but no one seems to care since all anyone cares to do at that time is get crazy.

    As a brazilian, I want to mention Caipiríssima, it's a variation of Caipirinha but instead of cachaça, it's used rum.

      @@BehindtheBar I've been using two barspoons of sugar, 1 lime, and 2 ounces of cachaca. The result has been more sour than caipirinihas I've been served at a bar. I've tried using just half a lime, but then the cachaca is really strong and it still seems a little too tart. I think I could be too gentle when I'm muddling and the sugar isn't dissolving enough. I don't have much experience with muddling. I've read that being too aggressive can bring out the bitterness of the citrus peels, so I haven't been pressing very hard. Just enough to juice the lime wedges really.

    I love your videos. Even as an long-term, obsessed cocktail snob, I learn new things from you every time I watch. If you don't mind me asking, is there a reason you don't take the spring off of your Hawthorne strainer and add it to your shaker when a cocktail calls for a dry shake? I've always seen this done during a dry shake, and I'm curious why you don't do it.

    • @BehindtheBar
      @BehindtheBar  3 года назад +1

      So glad you enjoy! I do the spring trick with something I’m only dry shaking, so for instance whipping up the cream for an Irish coffee, but again it’s pretty fiddly during service and I’ve always found a dry/wet shake with some elbow grease has been plenty fluffy! It’s not honestly something I see most bartenders around here do for all egg white drinks, is it common where you’re from?
