Hey, I'm Tara. I'm Natalie and this is Natalie and Tara Try Stuff,
a show in which we try stuff for the first time. And today we're gonna try the greatest
Easter cocktail ever created. Cuz that's a thing. Could be the worst. Let's find out.
Last week we put out a video that was our Maggie and Maude sketch, but in it they
were all doing Easter cocktails and those were real cocktails that we found
online and one of them is so weird that we have to try it.
It is a Cadbury Egg Mojito and I'm terrified. Well, you are gonna have a
little PTSD because you did have to drink a very strange version.
I had to drink [a prop] yeah I had to drink a mock-up of it.
I don't know how you did that day, honestly. - I was- I was not... -It was a rough day. If you haven't seen that video
I'm gonna put the little sliddy-idy-idy. Anyway I have the ingredients here
Um, two things: as I'm reading this I'm like I don't really think this sounds right.
The numbers are a little off for me, I think.
Yeah, we are doing a bit of translating because it's in milliliters?
So in this translation I think we're gonna make this one but I
also, think that they've -I want to try it with a little bit different numbers
Right. Yeah, we think it might have a better fighting chance if it doesn't have so much of certain things.
Like this has a lot of simple syrup - and there's Winchester.
Winchester, you don't want any of this. Trust us.
Here maybe if you just smell some mint I can get you leave.
Nothing we have you want. Yes, you should go.
You know it's not a kitchen episode if we don't have at least one interjection from Winchester. Cool, moving on.
Okay, so here are the ingredients. Just to rattle them off. Rum, Mozart Chocolate Liqueur, mint,
Some Simple Syrup, dash of lime juice, dash of soda and Cadbury Eggs.
Two per cocktail.
Oh, but what you need to know is that there are 987 calories
Oh my god, I can't have this. So let's make one the right way. "The right way"
And try it. You're gonna bruise the mint in the bottom of the glass
with the rum and the chocolate liqueur. Okay,
and we have 2.5ML of both Bacardi Superior Rum and Mozart Chocolate
Al*xa 25 milliliters is how many ounces?
[Alexa: 25 ML is about 0.25 OZ]
One of each those. Got it
Ohhh! It's so thick and chocolatey!
Also, this is the thing too. When I said there are two things, Tara didn't bring the muddler over.
Oh yeah. Cuz I didn't tell her to bring the muddler over.
I forgot that you didn't have a muddler and I thought the other one was a prop muddler, that we just went to my house for some reason.
No that was, that was the muddler. The Muddler.
So, uhh. We're gonna muddle with what I used to muddle when I muddle which is my ice cream scoop.
Look, guys! I don't have tools around my kitchen, I don't have a funnel
I don't have a baste- actually turns out I do have a baster. We found that law we're
looking for a muddler- but this is what I used to muddle. So you don't you can muddle with that.
and it's the same portion of simple syrup as it is the other two.
And then it's a lot of simple syrup. This is where we start to question things
Why are you sitting right there?
Alright, so a dash of lime juice. Then add some crushed ice
and smash up a chocolate egg and give it all a stir.
Wait, so... That seems like an out of order thing too anyway.
"Add some crushed ice and smashed up egg"
That's where you said. "..and smashed up egg" Yeah.
That's why I thought it was already smashed- Well, let's smash it outside. -in the writing of this.
Okay, all right. Don't don't. AHHH!
Into the thing? Into the thing. Yeah. Into the thing.
HAA!!! Haa. AHHHHHHH! Get into the thing! Into the thing!
Now, crushed ice. I'm gonna stirry this thing up. Oh, my god.
little bit more crushed ice. Now our dash of soda.
GLAHH!!
I shouldn't have done that.
Mint sprig. And then what you're supposed to do is half of an egg.
How do you do this part? That's why I had to cut them last time.
Ah! Just throw the whole thing in there.
Cheers. Cheers.
Holy sh*t! That's not good. It's the- uugh.
It's everything. You don't really want to drink that liquid.
It's umm... it's- there's lime in there. I mean I see how it tastes like a mojito.
Yeah, it does- it does taste like a mojito that's kind of gone bad or something.
It's so sweet. Soo sweet. We wasted way too many Cadbury eggs.
I know and I love Cadbury eggs I'm very sad that they're in there and they're gone forever.
Oh, God, nope. Ahhhh!
I don't know that we could make solutions that would help this. Yeah, like how are we saving this?
By just eating Cadbury eggs and drinking Mozart on its own?
Let's just try. So, to save this... are we still gonna try to make it into a mojito?
That's the thing is I like the mint portion of it. And I know. I know, I know. Sooo...
I mean but I don't know what else I could do like it's either a mohito or it's not.
Right, because if we take out the mint part then we're not just making a mojito anymore
Or a chocolate Creme Egg Mojito. We're just changing the whole entire rules.
Which we're allowed to do. We are. And the sugar is already hitting me guys.
So this may turn into Irish Coffee.
Sorry, I'm excited I have coffee and I have liquor in me now. AHHHH!
And this is going so well today, like normally these kinds of episodes don't necessarily end well.
I'm like getting dizzy. Um, okay so mint. mint. mint.
Well, mint and chocolate go together. I like mint and chocolate. Okay.
I don't like fresh mint. Oh okay. I'm gonna go a lot less on the lime.
I'm not sure though. I know I want more rum. I want more rum than I want the chocolate.
Yeah. that's- Okay if I were making this mojito what I would do is
1.25 of rum and then 0.75 of that and the Mozart chocolate like
I said like a 1.- I mean I'd do a .75 instead. Yeah.
Oooo you know what though, I want to try? I want to try it without the Cadbury Egg
and see it tastes like a Cadbury Egg. You make yours. Okay.
You do what you were going to to do. Okay.
I'm gonna make a mojito without the Cadbury Egg at all and see if that makes any difference in flavor.
Just a dash of simple syrup. I don't know why you would put that much a simple syrup in there.
The last thing I'm gonna do is I'm not putting any soda water in there. Nooo.
So here's the thing, I really enjoyed this part, so I'm doing it again. Oh my god. It's violent.
Holy Sh*t that's not good. It was very- something. What is it?
I don't know, it's just gross.
God! It just tastes like mint! Oh, sorry. Yeah, it's a lot of mint in mine.
Like I bit on a plant. If we use peppermint oil in there maybe it would be better?
Peppermint syrup? I have peppermint schnapps
That would be better. Are you gonna go get peppermint schnapps and do another one?
I've got some bananas schnapps and some peppermint schnapps.
Let's just mix it with that Mozart.
So, what I'm thinking is you just- like- what if you just put this together... in there... with this and ice?
Okay. Okay, yeah. Let's let's do one of those and let's do the same thing with the peppermint though!
Okay! We'll do one banana and one peppermint.
That much rum? That's a lot. Ounce and a half. Ounce and a half.
I know but its a lot. We're making shot basically.
This is not even close to where we started from. And then I would say like-
We're not even in the same holiday anymore. No, this is like- you're making a monkey thing over here
And I'm making a Christmas thing over. Okay. Cool.
So then I think like less of these don't you? Okay. Agreed.
Right there. In this one. This one? Yeah.
Okay and now the banana. Banana.
This is gonna be called... Yours is a Monkey Fart. Okay.
No! A Chocolate Monkey! Uh-huh. Very Easter
And mine is now... Peppermint Mistake
Cheers to trying new things!
That's really pepperminty. Is yours really banana-ey?
No, it's not. It's actually pretty good. It's really rummy. it's not bad it's just real-
-it's it's it's- I bet it's flammable.
That is pretty good.
That's good I like this too. Yeah, that one I think I'd go a little bit less peppermint.
I actually think that from here I could put that Cadbury Egg in it and get back to Easter.
Do it! Yes! Full circle guys! We are here. Oh that's gross.
That's a giant mess. Mix it? Mix it.
I don't know. It's chaos now.
Is it magic? I f*cking love that.
Ooh that's really good! We cracked! We cracked it!
Get it? Cracked it.
Okay, that's amazing. We figured it out. We made Easter happen guys.
Don't worry. It's all figured out.
So, My name is Tara. I'm Natalie. And this was Natalie and Tara Try Stuff!
