Welcome back to Booze On The Rocks, where we make cocktails for everyone.
My name is David Edwards, and it's great to have you here today.
When you think of a forbidden jungle, do you think about.
Deep, dark leafy canopy crawling with snakes, insects, and big giant cats.
I know I do.
However, what we're actually talking about today is the Forbidden Jungle cocktail.
It's a simple five ingredient cocktail that's really, really easy
to make and is perfect to what your appetite for tropical type climate.
So let's see.
Now, this is a shaken cocktail and you know what?
Grab your shaking glass.
I use a glass for my Boston shaker and you can use a tin hell.
You could even use a Mason jar with a lid totally up to you.
But before we get started, we're always talking about using our
cheapest ingredients first.
And the reason for that is because if you make a mistake, it's much easier
to throw it a little bit of lime juice.
Than it is to throw out a couple of ounces of rum and all the other ingredients.
So before we get started, we're going to grab our Lime and we're
just going to cut it like, so.
We'll then cut off a slice.
Cut that in half and then cut that into quarters.
Now that you've done that, just take these off to the side here.
And what we're going to do is grab our measuring device, AKA the Jigger
and we're going to squeeze out a quarter of an ounce or seven and
a half milliliters of lime juice.
All right.
Perfect.
Take these, put this here now.
That was rather noisy, what we are going to do.
However, before we actually put the juice in is we are going to start with our Rum.
Now the original recipe called for an ounce and a half of Coconut Rum.
However, when you include the, uh, peach schnapps, you have a very
low ABV and a very sweet flavor.
So what we're going to do is we're going to add.
One ounce of Bacardi Rum, and this way we'll split the base on the rums.
So one ounce is equal to 30 milliliters.
Awesome.
Now the next thing I'm going to use is my Coconut Rum.
Now I'm using the Malibu coconut.
It is made with Caribbean Rum and Coconut Liqueur.
So it's technically not a rum, however, use whatever you
have, that's available to you.
Uh, and some of those variations will have.
ABV so you just have to be careful again, totally up to you.
And for this we're now going to use a half an ounce or 15 milliliters.
Perfect.
And it smells great already.
Now, again, I said we were using a peach snaps.
I'm using Dr.
McGuillcuddy's peach NAB is a 21% ABV.
And what.
Half an ounce or 15 milliliters as well.
All right, looking fantastic.
Now the next ingredient that we're going to use is some pineapple juice and I'm
using a pure press Pineapple Juice.
It's unsweetened, and you know what?
We're going to use four ounces or 120 milliliters.
Perfect.
Look at this.
Now what we're going to do is we're going to add a little bit of ice and what
we'll do, we will shake this for a good, well, Yeah, maybe 10, 15 seconds, totally
up to you because you're just going to get it to the dilution that you are.
You want to fill your glass with ice, slap your lid on like, so move
this because you're going to flip this over and shake it with a smile.
Awesome.
Now pop that off was a strength of a thousand lines.
Now the pineapple juice is going to give you a little bit of foam, but
we're not too worried about that.
We are going to however, put this in a highball glass.
If you don't want to use a highball glass, you use whatever you want.
So what you're going to do, fill it with a little bit of fresh ice.
Now you could choose to say, use a, a rocks glass or whatever, maybe even
some crushed ice or a pebble dice.
If you have some, but you know what, just do what you really, really like and enjoy
and drink after all it is your drink.
Now what we will do here.
And we will find string that's like, so.
Oh, look at that.
Absolutely fantastic.
Now what we are going to do, garnish this with our, just our little piece
of lime like so grab yourself a straw.
I have a steel straw here and we'll just slide that in lake soon.
Let's give it a taste.
Oh, that is very good.
You get subtle hints of the coconut.
This.
A little bit of page, a little bit of that life brought together by the
regular rum and the pineapple juice.
It is fantastic.
It's a perfect backyard, zipper, a beach sipper.
Uh, you know, it's just really good.
I hope you enjoy it.
Now, what I will do is I will put the ingredients and a method of how to make
this down in the description down below.
