Thanks for watching everyone. We'll be getting into cocktails soon enough - what drinks would you like to see? P.s. I apologise for the clinking from the new apron... I'll fix it before the next shoot.

@rajaadawood5171 4 года назад

I’ve just watched both videos of cocktails syrup recipes, does the syrup with GA recipe is for special cocktails or for personal preference? You did a great job Chef Glen in both kind of syrup👌regarding the mic, no bother at all ✌️I’m looking forward to watch all your signature cocktails series 😊 Thank you🌸

@GlenAndFriendsCooking 4 года назад

There are specific cocktails that call for gomme syrup historically, but using it has fallen out of fashion, because it takes a little longer to make. I tend to really like it in cocktails that don't have any fruit juice.

@Ebola419 4 года назад

Vodka, pineapple juice, sprite/mountain dew(if using mountain dew use the original cane sugar recipe stuff). Call it Swamp Juice.

Mojito, both as a cocktail and a mocktail.

I make large amounts the the heavy syrup every winter.......not for my consumption.....but to feed up my honeybees so they have enough food for winter. Summer time, a thinner sugar solution is used to feed the hummingbirds. as usual, great video.

@nicholasgraves3149 2 года назад

Nice videos. I usually make my standard syrup in a 1.5/1 ratio, or sometimes just use rich in place of simple. The difference in sweetness of the finished cocktail is not nearly as apparent as you'd think, but the texture/mouth feel of a drink created with a richer syrup IS noticeably improved over a standard 1:1.

@mondavou9408 2 года назад

Interesting. I'll have to do a focus group test at my next dinner party. It is, after all, Mojo season!

@dmsalomon 3 года назад

The advantage of 2:1 ratio is that the syrup will be shelf stable and not need to be refrigerated, although it will crystalize more easily which can be fixed by quickly reheating the syrup

@user-od1yi5iq1k Год назад

Still think it is shelf stable? I just made a batch (2:1) with organic cane sugar and I'm not sure if I should refrigerate it or not.

@mattcero1 3 года назад

Indeed! So many simple syrup videos have not made this clear. Thank you.

@donmomenee7263 4 года назад

This was a very informative video. Took me 4 videos before I got to yours to answer all my questions. Thank you sir!

@4themotherload 4 года назад

Love the knowledge regarding refrigeration. I feel sometimes I am tossing things quicker then I should and its great to learn really how long something can last! Alot of what you said makes perfect sense, would love to see a video on storage. Especially after watching you carve half a pig!

@bsce100 4 года назад

I am not trying to be rude at all, I just want to inform you that the words "then" and "than" are completely different. "Than" is the word you meant to write in this sentence, not "then". Also, "alot" is misspelled. Actually it is two words; "a" and "lot" so the proper spelling is "a lot". Again, not trying to be rude, but only inform you of these errors. A lot of people make these mistakes.

Really good video. Answered every single question I had. :) btw, I have even seen people make simple syrup by adding water and sugar to a bottle and shaking it very well untill it's all disolved. I personally would prefer doing it like in this video.

@bsce100 4 года назад

No it doesn't really work like that. The sugar won't fully dissolve. The heat is needed to melt the sugar enough to thoroughly dissolve.

Can you use the syrup right after? Or does is need to sit in the fridge for 6-8 weeks before using?

@GlenAndFriendsCooking 3 года назад

as soon as it's made you can use it.

@rlwalker2 4 года назад

I boil my simple syrup (1:1) for 3 min to convert the disaccharide (sugar with 2 molecules) to monosaccharide (sugar with 1 molecule). Otherwise, the disaccharide will probably crystallize making it a bit useless for cocktails. If you find a way to make a mint simple syrup to simplify making mint juleps, I'll be very interested in that recipe. Actually, I'll be interested in your whole cocktail series.

@@GlenAndFriendsCooking Did you sterilize the bottles before hand? You didn't mention that in the video if they had been sterilized shortly before you stored the syrup. I've heard that's one thing that helps the shelf life. I've never made the stuff and wanna give it a go so I'm digging up whatever info I can.

@thevarietychannel4833 Год назад

How much more sugar is in the 2.1 ratio?

@GlenAndFriendsCooking Год назад

If the 1:1 ratio is 1 part sugar and 1 part water. It would stand to reason that the 2:1 ratio (rich syrup) is... 2 parts sugar and 1 part water. At 1:28 this is explained, in the recipe on screen at the end of the video this is explained, in the written recipe in the description box, this is explained. Did you even watch?

Some would argue that the rock candy syrup that Trader Vic specified in his tiki books was 2:1 rich syrup. But I think that it was even more saturated than that.

@JohnKelly2 4 года назад

@@GlenAndFriendsCooking I agree. If it's truly "rock candy" syrup, it would need to be supersaturated. Ideally, just under supersaturated to remain stable.

I might suggest inverting the sugar before you make the syrup, I’ve not tried this but possibly adding creme of tartar may stop the crystallisation by inverting the sugar. Might be a good experiment

@GlenAndFriendsCooking 4 года назад

Yes use a small amount of acid - even just lemon juice, to invert some of the sugar.
