our first drink is the paloma a
grapefruit tequila drink from mexico
the classic version of this drink
involves tequila and grapefruit soda
around one part to three parts squeeze
in some lime juice and a pinch of salt
then garnish with a lime the word paloma
means dove in spanish
and doves are notorious for making love
atop rape grapefruit so i'm pretty sure
that's how it gets its name
if you want to make a less classic
paloma you can take a grapefruit whoops
you want to keep it whole because the
small grapefruit packets are too sweet
on their
own you can tell these are farmed
grapefruits the wild ones are a much
deeper red color
and they're not as big you can use a
fork to get that juice out or a reamer
which is good for reaming use a concave
wire net to catch the seeds and pulp
take two ounces of grapefruit juice add
in two ounces of tequila
squeeze in a wedge of lime put in a
quarter ounce of simple syrup and club
soda to taste
and a pinch of salt to make simple syrup
also known as watered-down sugar you
take one part sugar to one part water
melt it in a pot then allow it to cool
to room temperature to make complicated
syrup you take one part water to two
parts sugar to 1 8 part water to 232
parts water to 1 16 parts water you can
also make homeopathic
simple syrup if you put one grain of
sugar inside a swimming pool you could
go with a salt rim if you don't put salt
inside it and garnish with lime or a
full grapefruit make sure you clean the
grapefruit first in case there's dove
love making residue on it and remember
that paloma has the word pal in it which
makes it a great cocktail to share with
a friend
but not with an enemy otherwise it would
be called the enemaloma
the whiskey sour was invented back in
the days where you attracted a mate by
puckering your lips
pucker muscles were severely
underdeveloped in those times
so lemon helped many find their one true
drunken love
we'll start with two ounces of bourbon
but pour it like you're not already
drunk
one ounce of lemon sour juice and half
an ounce of simple syrup
and then you have to decide if you want
to add egg white point the egg white
creates a creamy frothy texture that's
rather enjoyable
counterpoint i came here to drink not to
have a whiskey omelette
point but look how cool it looks and
hear how great it tastes
counterpoint i'm not interested in dying
from salmonella
point you're being dramatic and you
haven't even had a drink yet if you
decide to go with the egg white an easy
way to de-occafy an egg is with a
plastic bottle
you just squeeze it out then let it open
up and suck the yolk into the bottle
elevator
then we'll add in a quarter ounce of egg
white and then we'll do what's known as
a dry shake because there's no ice in it
which is weird since all the ingredients
are wet and ice is the only thing that
would be dry
since i don't have a shaker i'm using a
mason jar which not only gets the job
done with minimal glass shards
it also makes this a single distilled
mason cocktail now we'll throw in some
ice and shake it until it's cold
now pour that over a big ass ice cube
you can also use a big-ass ice cube with
a chunk of yellow pepper inside it
and now i'll just give this a wang
jangle with my super fancy drink
stirring spoon for no reason since i
already shook it
that creamy frothy texture is pretty
small so i probably should have used
more egg white counterpoint you should
have used no egg white now if you want
to get really fancy you can take some
smoke
trap it inside a glass and then just
leave it there because inhaling smoke is
bad for you
then garnish with an entire lemon if
you're in a rush to find a relationship
the bee's knees combines the
antibacterial power of gin with the
antibacterial power of honey
making it the ultimate cleanse drink
we're gonna take two ounces of jag juice
in this case gin try to hit the glass
when you pour that
then we'll add three quarters of an
ounce of lemon juice and a half ounce of
honey syrup
which is just like simple syrup except
it's made with honey that's one part
water to one part honey
now we'll give this a shake oh wait i
forgot i do have a shaker
[Music]
goodbye aunt winnie now if you're
wondering why bartenders shake drinks
and shakers for a ridiculous amount of
time it's because bartenders love
attention
also it causes dilution which makes the
booze less strong since you can't handle
it straight
if you have weak arm muscles but strong
hip muscles you can always put the
shaker in your belt and put on some
techno
the bee's knees is traditionally served
in a coop or martini glass but i don't
have and or don't like drinking out of
those glasses so i made my
own very good and very safe and we'll
put that in the molecule slower downer
to chill it
then we'll garnish this with a man in
the boat but do bees actually have knees
yes they do they have a knee on each of
their six legs they're around two
trillion honeybees in the world that's
132
bees knees for every human knee on the
planet so yeah there's bee's knees all
right
that bee's knees is the cat's pajamas
and it'll get you right zazzled and so
ossified it'll make any wet blanket
spouting apple sauce seem hotsy totsy
that's worth five clams it's better than
noodle juice and any dew dropper who
says otherwise is full of bonus
bolognese stuffed with horse feathers
if you don't speak twenties that means
it tastes good
these days oils please i like it better
than boiled trees
make sure to give the glass a freeze
then give me a drink and i'll give you a
squeeze i mean
three ingredients making with these
we'll whip some up and we'll sell the
seas
living our life on the open breeze on a
boat with bobby's knees
