hello and welcome to a magical cocktail adventure but it's all about having fun
and making cocktails at home I am Helen and today our cocktail is called a Mac
Hunt now I'm making this gorgeous creation of my own and it's to celebrate
Easter next weekend and I can imagine most of us around the world are probably
celebrating Easter in home at home and I just wanted to give some love and some
joy and some happiness to the world with this wonderful cocktail as we
experienced such a massive massive world transformation so all my love for every
one now let's make our wonderful cocktail today first of all though I
have a big surprise we are going to do two versions of our cocktail today and
the first version is so simple it's a martini style cocktail it has two
ingredients first ingredient is a beautiful mac by brookey's liqueur
now brookies is a made by the Cape Byron
Distillery down in Byron Bay Australia and this is really delicious
it's made from macadamias and the Australian wattle seed and the taste is
really really lovely lovely balanced taste of like butterscotch and cacao and
coffee it's really beautiful you can purchase it online now the next
ingredient is the beautiful simple chocolate liqueur and this one is made
from Tamborine Mountain Distillery as you know I do love these guys and they're up
here on Tamborine Mountain so that is pretty much our two
ingredients for our Mac Hunt so let's make it alright you want to use a shaker now
you can use any particular cocktail shaker that you do have at home
and we will use 60 mil of our Mac liqueur now 60 mil is 2 ounces and we
just pour that into our shaker like so and with our chocolate liqueur
we will like 15 mil of our chocolate liqueur and we pour that in like wallah
then we are going to put some ice in so let's put some ice a nice big handful of ice
into our whoops I forgot my tongs for the ice so please I'm going to use my
hands sorry forgot the tongs so we place a nice big handful of ice can go in like so
Sorry about that no tongs now place our lids on and lets give it a shake
so let's shake it up buttercup lets shake it up buttercup
right that's a lovely shake martini glass is what we're going to use today and you
can see here I have this really long elegant tall beautiful blue glass and I
have rimmed with some chocolates of grated some chocolate and in goes
just simply pouring it in I'm not going to use ice today in our beautiful cocktail
pour that in all the way to the top looking beautiful so now we're going to
place a little bit more garnish on to our cocktail because it is Easter so let's
be a little bit more decadent and I have purchased a curly whirly bar and these
I'm not sure it with purchase them in Australia and the kind of shape like a
DNA strand and I have just cut that and I'm placing it on top like so and one
more tiny little garnish because it is Easter I found this gorgeous little
Easter Bunny and we're just going to peg him onto our glass on the side like so
and voila there we have our beautiful Mac Hunt cocktail let's give it a
little taste I'm very exciting because I get to taste twice today so let's just
taste that
Wow all I can say is that it's absolutely
perfect that is absolutely perfect okay let's
make our second one so put that to the side for the little moment and we'll
make our second version of the Mac Hunt cocktail so for our second
version all we need is one cup of ice cream which is here and I've placed it
into a blender jug and simply put in the same ingredients as our first version so
60 mil of so beautiful of our Mac liqueur see that 60 ml
which is 2 ounces goes in Oh beautiful beautiful this is exciting and then 15
mil of our lovely chocolate liqueur which is half an ounce place that in
so in there like so then we will blend it up so just grab the blender grab
the blade put that on there like so and let's blend this up see what happens little
bit of Easter decadence turn it on at the wall would help
Lets blend this up buttercup
wow that probably is gonna taste delicious if you want it to be a really
really thick thick blend you can also add some ice but at the moment I'm just
going to leave it as it is and see what happens okay take off the lid I've got
another beautiful gloves here not quite a martini glass I wanted it slightly
bigger and you can see I don't have a rim on this one for our garnish we have
a nice surprise so let's just pour that in look at that looks beautiful you
could play with this you can add more ice cream if you want and as I said you
can add the ice so let's just see for our garnish on this particular decadent
cocktail I have once again a curly wurly it's our beautiful DNA strand it's gonna
place that in like there and then I have this really glorious - 2 lindt balls and
it's fun once again another little bunny we're just going to place it all in
there like so let's see what we'll do there how's that look
