welcome friends welcome back to
cocktails after dark today we're going
to do another cocktail out of
this cocktail book the 1937 cafe royale
and this is the coronation edition um or
the only edition that was ever printed
of this book
now i'm asking for some help out there
everything that i've read says there's
only 25 copies of this
i don't think that's right but that's
all i can find out that's the only
information that i can find out i know
that some of you that watch this show
work in libraries and if you can find
any other information about this book
that would be fantastic
please pass it along to me in the
comments down below and today we're
going to continue
exploring cocktails in this book that
you didn't
find in north american cocktail books of
this period
mostly tequila and vodka and today we're
going to do another tequila cocktail
this one's called the senorita and it is
gin and tequila and i'm going to make it
with two different gins
and see how we work out so i'm going to
start out with this victoria gin this is
made in
victoria british columbia and that'll be
in that one
it calls for lemon juice so i'm going to
put lemon juice in both just to rinse
out the [ __ ]
and in this second one i'm going to use
dylan's gin
and this is a gin that i really like
it's made with rye as its base spirit
next in is tequila and i'm using
casadors
it's tequila that i really like
oh bottle's almost empty
and calls for a couple dashes of
grenadine in each i don't know what a
dash is let's see
is that a dash let's call that a dash oh
my
let's even that out
okay now we ice down our tins
give it a shake okay
so a couple of nickel noirs ready here
and we will pour out the first one
this is the one with the victoria gin
and this is the one with the dylan's gin
hi glenn hi friends
looks like we've got a gin flavor change
gin
and tequila the senorita
okay yeah so it's gin and tequila and
i've done two different gins because
often we find the gin is the component
that really changes the whole drink
so yours is victoria okay and this is
dylan's chin
all right let's give it a go and see
what happens
i also have to admit i had a grenadine
accident
so there's probably more grenadine than
the cocktail needs
okay but i tried to even it out i tried
wow what do you think
i think i prefer this one the dylan's
but i don't know that either of them are
something that i would i would order no
and i don't know if it's the lemon
that i'm not that fond of you know
either of them or
it really i get a really strong pucker
in my mouth
but i find this one is a little more
sour the one with the victoria gin
and the dylan's is a little more
pointed does that make sense do you
think that's a reflection of
your grenadine accident or i tried to
i tried to even the grenadine out okay i
think i got equal amounts in both
too much because who knows what a two
dashes are
but too much means that you didn't you
didn't sweeten it enough to overpower
the
not at all the lemon it's still very
tart very tart
um yeah if i had to choose i would still
choose this one the dylan's
but i don't know that it's something
that i would i would come back to the
bar and have a second one
no no i'm i am in agreement with that
okay so there you have it the senorita
from the 1937 cafe royale
cocktail book thanks for stopping by see
you again soon
