all right we are shaking things up right
out of the gate that's right bartender
Ben Guerra from Hotel Emma's here -
tequila it up what are we making today
so we're gonna make it a couple of the
house cocktails for the hotel we've got
our specialty barrel called
Corazon okay it is gonna be a reposado
tequila made in bourbon barrels
so what drinks are we making so we're
making David is gonna be making the car
correspond to oral okay you're gonna be
making the player and then I'm gonna be
making our house cocktail the three
Emma's and there we go so we have the
actual the cortisone day Ordos up there
on the screen it's a single-barrel
cortisone Reposado and then you have all
the other ingredients on there as well
I'm not gonna butcher that word I think
it's tepache it looks the potting Oh a
pot see how do you create these drinks
I'm gonna be mixing this one so quarters
from tequila is gonna be a specialty
tequila obviously from Mexico Carmen
better leo is gonna be the distillery
owner she's the only female distillery
owner in Mexico to date at the moment
but they're using Buffalo Trace barrels
which is a one of the oldest whiskey
distillery in Kentucky at the moment and
so it just kind of gets this nice aged
lightly honey a little bit of citrus
acid in that and it just ages in the
barrel from 2 to 12 months and then we
have that special barrel for the hotel
only for us Wow it's especially just
exclusive just for the hotel itself it's
going pretty well so you know i
eyeballed the the actual measurements on
here I'm sure your drink probably tastes
a lot better than this one's gonna be
but it looks kind of similar what you
got going on over there talk to me about
this garnish there so it's gonna be a
little bit of candied ginger normally we
would do pineapple but candy dinner is
gonna still go good we do a beet infused
ginger liqueur um so we let the ginger
kind of sit there for a little bit and
then we just go ahead just pours right
into there just pours right in there if
you want to use that this is official
there we go all right all the tools hey
you know what I think the color kind of
looks similar a bunch of flavors
completely different
that's pretty so then would you just
kind of go like that that's it that's
pretty much
yeah I'm gonna try it out now so you're
gonna be making the next drink though
right so this is the second this is the
Playa del Carmen right so Scott
pineapple oranges we have poblano it's
actually cilantro poblano ah yes so you
can go ahead and muddle all that stuff
make sure you muddle it hard get those
juices out of the out of the orange and
the pineapple and that is a muddler yeah
so then once you're done with that just
go ahead and start adding the tequila
you're gonna add the ounce and a half at
the reposado tequila there so that's a
top one there you go
so you're getting like the numbers yeah
there you go there you go you're gonna
do a three quarter of the ounce of that
triple sec right there zombie air you
can use any kind of Cointreau if you're
making this at home so Ben I don't know
if here you taste that for me all right
I just made that one you told me I think
it tastes pretty good it's not that's
actually not bad is not bad if you want
the recipe I'll hand it over to you
don't give it on yeah well we'll keep
that okay awesome you got ice already in
that tin just pour it in there and give
it a good shake there you go you gotta
smack it yeah sure I goal is to smacking
it a little point right there where's
the trick hold it - pour it in there now

complimentary cocktail this is going to
be one of those and it is going to worth
it it's it's gonna be the tale of the
three MMS which I'm not going to get too
far into it but it's going to be one of
those cocktails that talks about the
Emma Kohler which is the old CEO for the
pro brewery she kept her entire
workforce employed throughout
prohibition putting her own money into
that and we wanted to go ahead and make
that a cocktail for her because we
wanted to go ahead and showcase herself
there's a bartender right there but we
talked about it's it's a tale of love
betrayal her original husband had an
affair with two nurses named Emmy and
Emma as well but ended up shooting him
dead pretty much modern day yeah so ya
know they went ahead and did that to him
and she ended up taking over the brewery
