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.
We're going to make a cocktail based on one, a pictures, most beloved characters,
the minion, and what we're going to do is we're going to turn them upside
down and throw them into a cocktail glass and have a lot of fun with it.
So let's get into it.
Now.
This is a six ingredient cocktail.
However, when you go online and you look at the ingredients to the cocktail, and
there's no real method of how to make this, you actually wind up with something
that looks like this, but this isn't the way the cocktail is supposed to look.
And there's actually a small trick that bartenders use to make this
happen, because what you really want the cocktail to look like.
This.
So what I want you to do is stay all the way to the end, because
I'm going to show you that special trick to get your cocktail, to
look absolutely stunning like this.
Now we will start with your mixing glass and we're going to start with
some Coconut Rum use, whatever you like.
Um, the more sugar you have, it'll actually cause this to mess up
even more, but we're going to start with two ounces or 60 milliliters.
Now, the next thing we're going to do is add some Blue Curacao and we
don't need a lot here, but we're just going to add the color and a
little bit of orange flavor to this.
And for this we're going to do.
A quarter of announce, which is seven and a half minutes.
Now this is the easy part show.
What you want to do now is grab your spoon and give this a little bit of a stir just
to agitate it and mix it all together.
Now, what this is going to do is dilute the heavy sugars from the Blue Curacao.
So you're going to throw this off to the side.
And grab your glass of choice.
In this case, I'm going to use a hurricane glass.
I just loved the shape.
It makes glare cocktails look great.
And what we're going to do is fill this up with some items.
So no shaking involved with this is going to be in there.
It's going to be simple and easy to work with that.
All right.
Beautiful.
Now we're going to start with our first ingredient.
Our first ingredient for this is a little bit of Triple Sec.
And for this, we're going to use half an ounce or 15 milliliters.
Now that you've added your triple sec, the next thing we're going to add is some
peach schnapps and I'm using some Dr.
Mcguilicuddy's Peach Schanapps now the peach snaps.
Our heavy sugar in north America.
So this will sync directly to the bottom and we're going to use three quarters of
an ounce or 22 and a half milliliters.
Awesome.
This will give us that sweet, intense peach flavor that we want
that'll mix with the fruit juices.
So the next thing that you want to do is take a look at your glass and
realize we've already had some dilution happening by the pouring of the alcohol.
So don't be afraid to add a little bit just to top it up to your heart's
content, because what will happen.
Is you will, will, uh, you will gain some more dilution as we
add a few more ingredients.
So our next ingredient is some pure pressed pineapple
juice use, whatever you like.
Mine has no pulp added that has no sugar added, and we're going to use
an ounce and a half or 45 milliliter.
That's looking good and starting to take some shape.
The next thing you want to add is a little bit of lemonade use what you got.
This is a multi lemonade.
What can you do it?
Sugar lemon juice.
A little bit of water, but we're going to add the same amount.
So after you spill it all over the place, you're going to add an
ounce and a half or 45 milliliters.
Oh, right.
I can tell this is going to look really, really good.
So the next thing you want to do is add your combination of coconut luckier and
blue Curacao, but you wanted to layer on.
So what you're going to do is grab a spoon and just place it
gently on the top of an ice cue.
This will allow you to control and give you a steadier hand, and
we're just going to pour it slowly.
Like.
And look at the way the cocktail turned out.
It looks fantastic on its own, but it's not quite the look that we want.
So what I'm going to do is show you that trick that a bartenders will use, because
what they need to do is actually thin out the, a rum and blue Curacao mixture.
And what we're going to do this time is only start with.
One ounce of your coconut rum.
Like, so
now time for the secret ingredient, reach over onto your shelf and
grab yourself some basic white rum.
I've just got a little bit about Hardy here and we're going to
add one ounce or 30 million.
Now, what that allows you to do is actually thin out the existing
coconut LaCour flashed coconut rum, depending on what you want to
call it, because it has more sugar.
So then what you're going to do is then take your blue tourists
out, do what you did earlier.
Add in, you know, a quarter of announcer seven and a half.
Okay, give it a stir.
And now what you can do is grab your other glass, build your drink up.
And what I'll do is I'll show you exactly how it layers on top.
Whoa.
Whoa, look at absolutely fantastic.
And this cocktail looks exactly the way it's supposed to look.
Now, if you stir it, you're going to get something that looks pretty
much like this, but it's going to be.
A little different and colored, not by much though.
So what you will see different twice and flavor is this has a slightly higher
ABV and depending upon the white Remy use, you'll have different funky notes.
Again, totally up to you.
