Hello you lovely people! So, I got given this beautiful shaker and I just wanted to
show you on Drinks Tube cos it's proper geeky, it's an old shaker, you've got the filter
or the sieve there, the lid, but what's brilliant is you can just pop it out and in here engraved
is a whole bunch - I haven't counted them yet - about 13 or 14 classic cocktails, and
if you throw this in and see, whenever you point the arrow here at a cocktail, if you
follow this down it gives you all the measurements and I just thought that is the coolest, coolest
thing. Have you seen these before? - I seen it once, it's very rare to find so
it's definitely a special present because of it.
- So what we gonna make from here then? What one do you think we should do?
- Uhh let's roll it, let's roll it, let's roll it, stop stop stop! Orange Blossom. OK
it's very simple, let's do it. One part of London Dry Gin, one part of fresh orange juice,
touch of honey to balance it, beautiful honey from the countryside. Ice, we have Jamie as
well, we're ready to make a cocktail! - Let's do it!
- I would suggest to have it before a dinner, or in the middle of the afternoon with all
the citrussy - - A sort of aperitivo?
- Exactly! Exactly exactly, the fresh, turns your belly on for a nice meal like an aperitivo.
- Nice! - Yeah? That's what we look for, it picks
you up! It picks you up, that's exactly. - So I'm here for you, what shall I do?
- You pour the gin, 50ml. - In we go. 50ml of gin, in. Then equal quantities
of orange. Just cut it in half and squeeze it in?
- Let's cut it in half, we're gonna squeeze. - So I'm just gonna squeeze it up against
the side... - Yes. And all the essential oils of the skin,
they fall down together with the juice, they turn on the sense of the beautiful cocktail.
- You went like that then? - Yes.
- So I'm gonna use one and a half oranges here, 50ml basically?
- Yes, equal parts with gin. Since we are always using fresh ingredients, small quality
control Jamie, but after we need to balance it with a little bit of honey, just a touch.
- You know what, I didn't think you'd need it, but you do need it.
- Yeah? - Yeah, you do.
- Couple of drops of honey. - I'd say one level teaspoon, the honey is
completely different than using the sugar syrup. I know it's obvious but it's got that
lovely aroma as well. - Are we ready?
- Yeah! - Perfect. Let me load it with loads of ice...
We make this delicious drink and we are ready to enjoy -
- Shall I? - Please please please!
- With love, with love, exactly! - Look at how nice and cold that is.
- If you get close the shaker say drink me, drink me, drink me! Strain me, I wanna be
enjoyed! - So here we go guys, look at this.
- Look at the colour. - Also that honey's given it that kind of
peculiar sort of thickness. Shall we? - Quality control is my favourite time.
- That's a phenomenal drink. - You see, how easy it can be to make a delicious
drink. - That's the easiest drink, man! That's equal
gin 50ml, orange 50ml, balanced with honey, shaken on ice, that's it! Ahh that's such
a good cocktail, guys, you have to try that. - Orange blossom.
