I love the episode and concept of "these are my favorite X drinks", I just wish we got more of the banter and history you're so good at presenting. That being said, I couldnt be happier to see you using rum blends in pretty much all of these cocktails, I love bringing together different types of rum with difference notes and character and making something truly unique and delicious.
I really enjoy the cleaner editing style that this has, keeps the video a little more dynamic and helps me stay paying attention, where in other videos I've stopped watching because nothing happens for 5 minutes and then Leandro leaves the screen entirely for like a minute
This is probably one of my favorite videos from your channel. I can tell you're trying to be a little more upbeat and friendlier than in some other videos lol I appreciate that. Thank you for this awesome content ✌🏻
I like the format of introducing multiple different recipes and just going through how to make them. That said I still very much appreciate the deeper dives on a singular drink from your other videos when you're bantering with Marius.
I’m not sure if you already have this video and I missed it, but I would love a video that deep dives into how all the different types of rum are different (and which might be basically the same), like white, gold, spiced, aged, dark, black, black strap, agricole, navy, etc.
I need to try all of these! When you add different spirits in the future could you explain the flavor profile? Like why aren’t you just using one type of rum and not two? Just would like to learn more ☺️
Thank you for making rum cocktails without pineapple juice! I feel like so many classically have it as an ingredient which I find makes most basic bar rum drinks taste the same. Personally I don't like pineapple juice- too sweet and takes away from the other elements. Thanks for giving me more than just mojitos now! 😁
Looking good, like the rapid-fire format. I have noticed when you build a drink in a rocks glass and stir in the big cube from time to time you pause, lift the ice a bit, check things out and continue. What are you looking for here?
I dont mean to be so offtopic but does anybody know a tool to get back into an Instagram account? I was stupid forgot my login password. I would love any tips you can offer me!
Nice video, but I would like to say that I prefer when you don’t cut the video this video and few other recent videos look a bit rushed it’s better when it’s more chill
Unfortunately even though more hardcore fans like us might like the longer videos these 5-in1 vids are the ones that get picked up by the YT algorithm and get the highest views. Can't blame the boys for wanting to grow the channel.
I will weigh in here by countering the below gentleman to say bravo to this compressed menu of rum favs. I enjoy elongated versions around the holidays - but when covering the waterfront of worldly news and info I enjoy an abbreviated and consolidated report - 6 minutes of most subjects is all that's needed - after all - anything longer begins to interfere with my happy hour. Grazie ! Love the channel !
gotta get my bar to start doing that Planters Punch. No brainer which version is this? I read about the "fun magazine" poem from the planters hotel, and smugglers uses all-spice.
Love you guys to death! I have become the bartender in my circle thanks to you guys over the past few months. One request I have would be to have a distinction of all the rums. Often times, the specs provided call for “Jamaican rum” or “aged Jamaican rum” and “dark Jamaican rum” and in each scenario, you’ve used Appleton Signature so it becomes a bit confusing at times. Nonetheless I love everything you guys do! I have a love for mixing thanks to you!
I'm sorry, but there shouldn't be any Rhum Agricole in a Mai Tai, especially if you say it's Trader Vics! If you read the excellent description in the book Smugglers Cove, it's detailedly written there why (my source). Cheers
I don't think I've ever seen a Planter's Punch recipe, let alone any cocktail recipe other than one I came up with, that includes plain black tea. This seems to be different from what you get if you just search "Planter's Punch". For the record, the cocktail I came up with has probably been done before, it's just that it hasn't been shown here or on Cocktail Chemistry, How to Drink, or Distinguished Spirits before. It's basically the love child between an Arnold Palmer and a whiskey sour. 1/3 oz lemon juice 2/3 oz simple syrup (I use a 1:1, the balance might be thrown off if you use a higher ratio syrup) 2 oz bourbon (dealer's choice, but I've take a liking to a 100 proof Knob Creek 9 year) Shake with ice. Pour over cracked/pebble/crushed ice that fills about half of a pint glass. Top with unsweetened black tea (ideally, you want at least four ounces).
Because the Queens Park Swizzle is basically a Demerara rum mojito with the addition of Angostura bitters and it would be too similar in the same vid also I like it better. More complex
Great video as always, although I love the history and banter in other videos. You have really inspired me to expand my collection of spirits. Sometimes when I go out for a drink, it can be meh, and I think to myself : Leandro would give me a better drink at home to make than this! Sante!
Wish I could get into rum, I think there's just a bit too much of a sweet bite in it for me. I'm trying to learn more tiki these days, but there aren't as many tiki drinks without rum. That might make a cool video sometime.
Impulse bought rum again. Don't even like the stuff so lookin for ways I can use it that I might. Unrelated but does anybody else think this guy looks like a brunett Owen Wilson or is that just me? 😂
Some nice stuff here but my pet hate is when bartenders think it's a great idea to fill the entire glass with ice, add a tiny bit of drink and then top with even more ice 🤦♂️ Major fail IMO.
Unless you have the exact same rums, useless. No advice as to what type of rums you could otherwise use. Plus, first one is impossible to actually drink. Stupidly overfilled with ice.
Obviously you didn’t look at the recipes in the description. Not sure how much more explicit I can be than just saying this calls for white rum, this calls for dark Jamaican rum etc
Same with me! I thought, from bad college experiences, that I just didn't like rum, and the Hemingway daiquiri was one of the first cocktails to open my mind back up to it.
The Educated Barfly oh I already went too far, can’t come back now 😁. Though curious is it traditionally/orig white Demerara rum? (no need to respond, I’ll get some anyways bc rum and QPS 🤪). Cheers!
The addition of bitters and technically the Queen’s Park originally used Demerara Rum but I enjoy it most with White rum. It’s more striking and much sharper in flavor but both are good :)
Holy crap. I just watched this video and realized you mentioned Two James Distillery, which is right in my hometown of Grand Rapids, MI where I bartend at. I have to go check them out now and sample their products!
Just drank a cocktail - rum based, lime, 43 liqueur, yuzu, and a demerara chili rim. But icannot identify the other ingredients... saddddddddd I loved it.....
I've always wanted to try a Mai Tai, but I'm allergic to almonds. Are there any quality orgeats that don't use almond or alternatives to orgeat if I want to make one at home?
