Welcome 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 called Sunday It's a layered tropical drink
that's sort of a combination of a Paradise cocktail and an AMF.
So it's going to have enough booze to give you a solid kick
while being enjoyable to look at and drink at the same time.
Now you don't have to shake anything.
All you need are two glasses.
You need your presentation, glass or whatever you going to serve it in.
And one of these.
Now we're going to start first by adding our alcohols to this.
I'm going to start with a little bit of white rum.
And for this we're going to use a half an ounce or 15 milliliters.
Your next ingredient is gin.
And we're going to use Haymans London dry gin.
It's a simple, easy light gin that's got a little bit of juniper
and is fantastic to work with.
But we'll use the same amount of half an ounce or 15 mils.
Your next ingredient is vodka.
I'm using a little bit of Finlandia again.
It's an unflavored vodka.
You don't actually want to have a flavored vodka because you're
flavors will start to get all mixed.
Now we're going to use again half an ounce or 15 melt.
Your next ingredient is where we begin
to differentiate ourselves from the basic aim a formula.
We're going to use whiskey.
Now I'm using a light Canadian whiskey.
This is swear jar whiskey.
It's out of Quebec.
Fantastic to drink and really, really goes down well.
We're going to use the same amount, half an ounce or 15 notes.
We're going to continue to deviate
with the progress so far by adding a little bit of brandy.
I'm using Remi's XO brandy or actually Vsop brandy.
I use whatever you want, but you don't want to spend a lot of money
on a brandy that you're going to use for this.
And again, we'll use half an ounce or 15 mils,
and now we go back to our AMF.
This is where we're going to add a little bit of blue Curacao.
I'm using bowls and we're going to use a little bit more this time.
We're going to go with three quarters of an ounce
or 22 and a half mils.
Now that you've completed this, what you want to do is just stir this
or give it a little bit of agitation and put it off to the side.
I promise we will come back to this in a little bit, but grab yourself your
hurricane glass or
a tall glass, you want something that's about 16 ounces
because you're going to put
a fair amount of ice in here and you want to use smaller, right?
So just fill it up all the way to the top.
And don't worry if you have just a little bit
over the top and the reason for that is
as we pour everything in, you're going to get a little bit of dilution.
So first, you want to grab yourself a little bit of pineapple juice,
give it a shake, use unsweetened if you can get it.
But if you can't get whatever you got and this is going to be a total of two ounces
or 60 milliliters, our next ingredient is to add citrus flavors.
In this case, we're going to add orange juice.
Now I'm just using from Tropicana simple and easy to get again.
Look for stuff that's unsweetened if you can.
But we're going to add the same amount of two ounces or 60 mils.
Now that you've added all of this, we're going to add
a little bit of grenadine and you could add the grenadine first.
But you know what?
I just like the way it looks when it actually pours through the orange fluids
and we're going to use half an ounce or 15 mils
after you've done that.
Give this a moment to sit.
You've got a great gradient right now, but you will get
a little bit of separation that will begin to happen over time.
So while you're waiting, grab your alcohol mixture.
We're going to add just a little bit of ice to chill it, not to dilute too much.
So you don't need much just a little bit.
And it's just, as I said, to bring the temperature down.
We'll just stir this for a good 10 seconds, only because
who likes having warm booze at the top of their drink?
So now that you've done that, grab yourself a nice little strainer
and then just pour everything on top
and look at that.
Absolutely gorgeous.
A huge layer of blue, a little bit of yellow, a little bit of red.
And you got yourself a cocktail that's fit for Sunday of all days.
Now, like any good layered cocktail,
if you want to drink it, you're going to give this a bit of a mix.
So it's going to kind of go kind of ugly looking.
But you know what? Why not
really good?
You get that orange, you get that pineapple, a little bit of sweetness
and all the rest of the alcohol blend in beautifully,
if you like this style of cocktail, take a look right here.
