Sundays with mom.
Justin Long is here with us with his mom,
Wendy!
We love you guys.
So we thought it would be fun
if Justin was the PIC, Partner in Cocktail for John.
So this is a champagne-based cocktail
because nothing says Mother's Day like champagne.
For each cocktail, you want an ounce and a half of vodka.
Ounce and a half of vodka.
So, if you're making two drinks,
you want three ounces of vodka in there.
Do you have an ounce there?
Two total pours of this thing.
Oh my God, he's using a measuring cup.
Is this not cool?
Alright, Rachael we talked about this.
I know, you're making fun of me.
You just sort of splash it in.
I don't make a lot of drinks.
Yeah. Just pour it in there, don't measure.
Okay, okay. Forget that.
Alright. So then you have Lillet Blanc?
Yep.
What is that?
Glad you you asked, Wendy.
Lillet Blanc is a fortified wine.
So think of like, your vermouths
that sort of thing, but it's a lot softer
and a little bit sweeter than vermouth.
Oh, it's nice.
It's got a nice perfume.
Vermouth is like a guy with a beard
and Lillet Blanc is like a clean-shaven,
little baby face guy.
That's I'm like, I'm a Lillet Blanc.
It's really nice. You can just drink this
on the rocks with a little splash of soda.
It's very lovely. Very refreshing.
So put
the same amount of Lillet as you put in a vodka.
So equal parts, Lillet Blanc.
An ounce and a half per cocktail of vodka,
an ounce and a half of Lillet Blanc for cocktail.
Now, do you have your fresh squeezed lemon juice?
Well, I got it. I got a pre-, pre-squeezed.
(indistinct)
Alright. So just do three quarters of an ounce of that
per cocktail.
Alright, you tell me when to stop.
Three quarterS of an ounce.
Half the amount.
Justin just put in half the amount of lemon juice.
Half the amount of lemon juice
that you put in of the other stuff.
I feel like Tom Cruise in cocktail.
Wooh! Wooh!
Sorry, sorry.
I'm confusing my Tom Cruises.
Oh god.
Make sure you cover that before you twist it around.
So now you have your simple syrup.
Simple syrup is basically half sugar, half water melted.
So put about the same amount as you
put in of the lemon juice.
Okay. I'm just winging it like you do, Rachel.
You just kind of,
you don't measure That's right.
(clapping) Bravo, bravo!
I'm doing this Rachael style, wooh! Whatever!
Look at you, here he is Tom Cruise and cocktail.
Okay. Now shake it up boys.
Put ice. Now I'm gonna get some ice.
Here we go.
And now,
shake it,
shake it for like 17 seconds.
Until the shaker feels a little cold to your fingers.
You can do a dance while you shake it.
You can do it like running in place.
You can run this way.
Where is he going?
You can run that way.
Going to the neighbors.
You can run into the camera,
you can run away from the camera.
Can you put it in a glass? Oh, Justin!
My wife's getting thirsty.
You know, I fall for that every time?
That's the old bread and butter.
Pour the- so you have your Collins, tall glasses
like you're drinking out of right now.
Yes.
Put ice in there.
Oh, these?
Those are perfect glasses for this drink
but they need to be filled with ice.
They put water in them.
You could use that too.
Okay, I also have these?
They're supposed to be Collin's glasses.
So are you going to pour So, oh god, okay.
into the glasses
filled with ice but leave a little bit at the top
so you could top it with the champagne.
That's where the champagne goes.
Okay, okay.
Ice, put ice in it.
Ice in it, then you top with champagne.
Top with the champagne
and then garnish it with a lemon twist.
You guys have lemon twists?
Uh.
Okay, did you put it in there?
Drop it right in. Forgot to put the cocktail
in the drink.
So you pour the cocktail in the drink.
Yeah, that's all I'm gonna get out of this one.
And then you fill it up with champagne.
And then top that with champagne.
Okay, top it with champagne.
That was my first lemon peel, how'd I do?
Excellent.
Oh, that looks yummy.
Very citrusy.
Oh wow.
Okay, alright.
I don't know, you and bartending.
This looks exciting, refreshing.
Here's to Wendy and Justin.
