Went to a bar the other day and asked for a daiquiri and she told me she’s never heard of anything other than a strawberry daiquiri, I won’t be heading back there lol
🍓 thanks again for the knowledge. I've now turned into an absolute Rum Geek. I recently supplied the cocktails for my sons Tiki Rum Bar at his wedding, using your recipe's as inspiration. We supplied well over 200 servings of Hurricane's, Mai Tai's and Rum-star Martini's and they were an absolute smash hit..
I love the flavor of Great Value (Walmart) Lime Juice when I make my Daiquiri. I go with 2 1/2 OZ Doorly's 3yr White Rum, 1 OZ Great Value (Walmart) Lime Juice, and 3/4 OZ Simple Syrup. I shake it with six ice and dumb the entire contents onto my glass. Very delicious :)
Buy an Ice Crusher. I have a manual one... but it's a bit better than a standard cheap one. But I am crushing about 20kg a week. If you just make a few cocktails a cheapo Ice Crusher will do the job
i can't find a carribian fruit-tasting sipping rum. Tryed appleton 8, don't like the slight funk, tried plantation barbados 5 year, too much cinnimon, tried flor de cana 12, too much bourbon taste....any white rums with a rich coconut,orange,pineapple etc taste? thank-you,(love the channel!
You talked about using the Daiquiri ratio and trying different Liqueur variations ( okay, you said Syrup) and that you would still end up with a good Daiquiri. Well, I took that as a challenge and using the same ratio of 5 (Plantation 3 star) : 2 (Lime juice) : 2 (Liqueur) : 1 Sugar syrup) ratio decided see if I could make a bad Daiquiri. Alas, I failed, the worst was still a pass. We tried 8 different liqueurs. Our Ratings: #1 Giffard Café, # 2 Giffard Pamplemouse, #3 Luxardo Limoncello, #4 Giffard Creme de Banana, #5 Ancho Reyes, #6 a locally made MintCello, #7 Clement Creole Shrub, #8 Soho Lychee. Surprises; how well the Cafe, Grapefruit and MintCello fared. Disappointments; how the Clement did. Thanks for such a great video.
LOVE this. Coffee always surpirses me. Ever since I put with Pineapple...and it worked. Confused me, but I'm herte for it. Grapefruit, Limoncello and Banana are great shouts though.
On thew domestic Market, Bottled Citrus is not 100%. You have to look for the proper Bar stuff. the 100% stuff. In which case... it'll taste no different to Fresh Lime, thats been juiced and left for a couple of hours. (Obvs who'll get variances cos a Lime from Italy, will taste different to a Lime in Mexico!)
Simple Science... More Ice does + Less Dilution. yes when you're stiring Cocktails and shaking Cocktails, a little bit of Dilution does bring the temperature down. But of course... the more Ice you shake with and the more ice you stir with brings the temp down...with less Diltuion. Simply shake with 3 cubes, then shake with 8-10 cubes. See the difference. HOWEVER... if you watched the video, It's not shaking or stirring I'm refering to...its the actual serve. Its the rewason the great big Gin Balloons were invented. Science. The more ice in the glass, the colder it stays for longer (cos the ice takes longer to melt!) therefoire the less dilution.
Curious how a Doorly's 12 taste as a Dark & Stormy? or other good mixed drinks, because I bought Doorly's 12 on sale, but don't care for it too much as neat, as I prefer Zacapa 23 and Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva as neat.
@@StevetheBarmanUK My taste buds have evolved over the past six months. I can't drink it neat so I tried on the rocks which is better. But I went ahead and used 2 1/2 oz of Doorly's 12 year, 5ozx Fever-Tree Ginger Beer, 1/2 oz Lime Juice, and a few dashes of Angostura Bitters. It's not bad at all :) hic
Monin and real are 75% sugar and even the other 25% is not all coconut (ie condensed milk etc). Coco Lopez is made from 50% sugar and 50% coconut. There is more than twice as much coconut in Coco Lopez compared to the more expensive lower quality products
Nope you’re totally wrong. Monin Le Fruit and ODK are 50% Coconut. 50% Sugar. They are not syrups. This is where people get confused. There is a lower amount of actual real Coconut in the Coco Lopez than either of those 2 brands. Soz…but I’ll argue all day about that, cos not only is it written on the back of the bottles, I also have the legal data sheets for both brands.
