this is not a drink the show about making cocktails and how to drink them
I'm Greg and I have never been a professional bartender I've never even
had a job in a bar I don't worry too much about precision and technique
because at the end of stage is the drink you liked in the glass it is right let's
get going let's make a Halekulani a cocktail this is the cocktail that was
invented in the 20s of a Halekulani hotel in Waikiki served and invented at
a bar on hotel property called the house without a key which is a really cool
name for anything the house without a key is also the name of Earl there
Biggers first Charlie Chan novel for a little trivia for you also in that novel
Charlie Chan does not speak his first word until page 89 that's pretty wild
weird book 89 pages of silence this is the howl a Kalani cocktail a cocktail
that sort of predates what we typically think of as the core Kiki time in
America you know the forties up through the 60s or early 70s all the same we
should lump it in and include it with our delicious Tiki treats and that's
order and make it right now one pal a Kalani cocktail we're ready -
half an ounce of fresh lime juice - started up that's a heaven need a half
an ounce of fresh orange juice half an ounce of fresh orange juice half an
ounce of fresh pineapple juice we need a quarter ounce of Demerara syrup
a half a teaspoon of grenadine I know that my bar spoon to the quarter people
I mean to our spoons the string calls for some bourbon I'm going to use
Booker's bourbon because in the spirit of all things TP I believe that our
proof should be stratospherically high so an ounce and a half of Booker's
bourbon oh yeah it's only 128 proof and so this
drink calls for some Angostura bitters we're going to hold off on that because
I'm doing something a little bit different with this and so now we're
going to shake this drink over crack bite we're gonna serve this drink at a
chilled coupe let's just pour it in
we're going to use an atomizer and a match and just flame it with a spritz of
Ango and let's garnish the strength with an edible orchid well none of my orchids
are actually edible but the ones that you would use should be edible and we
call that in edible work it even though it's a very toxic forked but let's
garnish this drink with an orchid all the same and let's see how we did here
with this oh my god I love that drink that is a cool drink whoo and it keeps
evolving mmm oh man that boom yeah that's awesome
what does it taste like that is tart and citrus and but not overpowering and kind
of sweet and very very tropical very floral but like like a tropical evening
like a walk on the beach hmm you know you get like a certain amount of banana
notes in there what you're weird cuz where are they coming from we didn't had
any bananas to this but it's very sophisticated too it's not like just a
sweetie I mean it's not sweet it was a good drink okay so this is a fantastic
drink you should be making this drink at your home for your friends I think that
the spritz with bitters definitely add something to the drink the orchid looks
lovely and it does have an odor so that's actually really kind of providing
something for the drink here oh man I'm so good that's how to drink that show
