What up Drinks Tube, it is DJ Barbecue here for London Cocktail Week and I am joined by
twenty twelve world champion Steve Schneider. The man from employees only in the west village
over in Manhattan, New York City. This guy's won six speed titles. So we gotta crazy question
from Jeff Fairbanks. He said 'Drinks Tube, can you make a cocktail out of a bake-well
tart?'. So I said to Steve, do you know what a bake-well tart is? And Steve said...I've
got no idea. Yah, so we bought a pack of bake-well tarts. We took them apart, we looked inside.
And what did we find. We found the cocktail idea. The core flavors, almonds, cherry's.
Boom. That's what our drink is gonna be surrounded around. So Steve's has gotta make this into
a cocktail. Good luck my friend. Let's do it. Alright, so we're gonna start with the
core flavors of the bake-well tart. It's gonna be Orgeat, which is almond syrup, little bit
of orange and water as well in it. Half ounce in there. That's half an ounce? Yeah half
an ounce or fifteen mils. Fifteen mils. Equal parts so another fifteen of maraschino liqueur.
Maraschino liqueur so that's your...Yes it's a classic ingredient, it's in a lot of classic
cocktails. Okay so in it goes. Gin. Yes, forty five mils. Look at you and the conversions
man. English gin, I'm getting on it. You're getting on it man. So now we need to balance
it out. Right. Only one way to do it, let's get a lime. A lime. If you could juice one
ounce or thirty mills for me. Just put it right over. My bad. Okay, remember I'm the
kind of cook dude. Okay so that goes in. Perfect. Alright, like a bang.
I'm like his apprentice.
So fantastic, you're getting the botanical's from the English gin, you're getting almond,
you're getting cherry. Did you just double dip on me. Sorry. You just double dipped on
me. It's okay. That's gonna be good! Now whenever we're baking anything, it's bakewell tart,
we need egg right. We need need some frothyness we need some texture. Right!. To complete
this cocktail right here. Egg. Yes. Okay so we're gonna take the egg white, just one egg
white will do. We'll be good, so wish me luck folks. Come on don't go in there. And don't
be afraid about putting egg white's in cocktails, bar tenders have been doing it for a hundred
and fifty years. It creates a nice texture, nice froth. So this is gonna bind everything
together, put this in, we wanna just do a, we wanna just do a quick little dry shake.
It kinda emulsify's the egg. Emulsify the egg. You wanna get it nice and frothy. Okay,
but no ice. Not yet. Okay, okay. No we're just making it frothy. Boom, right in the
glass. All the way to the top? No about half way. Perfect. So yeah. And now I'm gonna watch
a master shake. Cheers. It's the cool face. It's so cool. Blue steel. Blue steel. Like,
you know. Boom and you see, look at that texture. You wanna stump out this ice. Okay, bad ice.
Perfect. There we are. It looks like the top of the bake-well tart. You've done
well my friend. Ah perfect look at that, frothiness yeah. We're gonna need one thing though. Right.
What about the cherry? Okay we need some kind of spear now for this. Right we wanna put
it right in the middle. Probably gotta improvise. Like a lime spear, or how about a rosemary
spear. Oh brilliant, brilliant! Let's err, get rid of the sprigs. And let's do it. Put
it right through there. Perfect. In the middle. Right in the middle. Okay so...You have a
bake well tart cocktail. Bake-well sour, what ever you need. Classic easy to make. Steve's
transformed a classic English dessert into a cocktail. Alright so, can I, can I have
the..? Of course please do. Very good man, here we go. Bro that's good. Do you wanna
try it. Of course. Man that, I like how you hold your glass way better than me. That is
really good, you saving that for later? I love it, perfect. Nice man. Nailed it, the
core flavors are there, once again I keep saying core flavors. If you wanna transform
that into that, you need Orgeat you need a little cherry. So a bake-well tart cocktail,
is that what we're calling it? A bake-well tart cocktail for you Jeff, Mr Fairbanks.
