I think it’s so easy to count yourself out of bartending cause you only have a few bottles, but it’s honestly quite easy to make heaps of delicious drinks even with a limited ‘back bar’ once you understand flavour profiles 😊
This drink is a revelation. I found myself trying to kill a bottle of orgeat today but you can only make so many Mai tais and Japanese cocktails. So i reached for this eccentric beauty. Quite shocked at how well the ingredients work together
Cynar and rum are a perfect combo. I've already been mixing them together in so many ways on my own. Giving this one a try later along with the 100 Year Old Cigar. Thanks for sharing!
The nomad cocktail book has a great rum + cynar cocktail called Brown sugar: 1oz aged rum 3/4oz bonded rye 3/4oz cream sherry 3/4oz cynar 2 dashes mole bitters One of my favorites
Lovely drink--was looking forward to your next upload! Update: Tried this today with a little spin. Instead of rum, used tequila. And used Amaro Montenegro, instead of cynar. I did a 2:1 ratio amaro to tequila which I think was the right call. Didn't want the tequila to dominate the amaro too much. Turned out great and super drinkable!
This is in fact an amazing cocktail (and probably therefore already a “classic”). Would have made it if I hadn’t already made a martini and didn’t have to wake up early for work tomorrow 😉
Hey Jake! It was part of our Amaro Cocktails compilation- when we do those ones we keep the makes quite brief, then do longer stand alone episodes on each (like this one) with a bit more info on products and history. Something for everyone 😊
. Excellent! I did not know that. I know that some laws require "over proof" liquors to be served with a flame arrestor. How is it in Australia? Greetings from Argentina (where Cynar is taken a lot).
@@BehindtheBar is a device that stops fuel combustion by extinguishing the flame. The best known case is that of Bacardi 151, in its bottles they have caps with small holes that prevent, in case the liquid outside the bottle ignites, that said fire enters the bottle and explodes. I work in the oil & gas industry and flame arresters are widely used devices. Greetings from Argentine Patagonia
The jigger (what the two-ended measuring cup is called) is held that way because you can just sort of turn your wrist over and pour the liquid in a pretty easy movement. The narrow “waist” for lack of a better term, of the jigger, sits nicely between the fingers in that grip as well.
Exactly, it looks a little awkward but is actually the easiest way to tip it in - if you hold thumb and forefinger then you have to sort of tip in from the side instead of directly backwards, so it’s just an extra movement. That said, do it however feels comfortable for you!
