I was in a live stream with two other individuals that would be Rob
from Rob's home bar and Vino from 62nd sCocktail.
And we had a fourth participant, which was an A.I.
Program, affirmative DAVE.
And in this room after a few drinks
we put in tell a sci fi horror story
all about a bunch of bartenders in space.
And it came up with this story
and we started reading it and we were like, Holy cow.
There's a certain phrase repeated in there said, Should We Call The Authorities?
And we figured we should create a cocktail like that.
So we went back to the A.I.
and we typed in create a cocktail called Should We Call the authorities
with 151 Rum Applejack and three other ingredients.
And this is what we got.
Now, as you can see, one
of those ingredients is actually different than what I have here on my table.
And there's a reason for that, because at that time you'll see that
there's grapefruit juice in this cocktail, but none of us had grapefruit juice.
So each of us decided on something different.
In this case, I had some cranberry juice and this is what I substituted in for it.
And really, I want to share the experience with you, but I also want to share you
the first part of this horror story that this I created.
I'll put that at the end of the video because
I really want you to take a look at it comment and go see the other two channels
because they're going to show part
two and part three and I'll put links down below for you.
Having said that, let's get into the ingredients.
So we need a little bit of lemon because we need a little bit of fresh lemon juice.
Now, I substituted in cranberry juice for grapefruit juice.
You can do either or and definitely leave
a comment down below and let me know what you prefer.
You also need a little bit of a 1 to 1 simple sirup, which I have right here.
And that's one part water, one part sugar.
Heated up to a ghost. Clear.
Put it in a fridge, then use it anytime you want.
You also need some 151
151 Gosling Black SEAL Rum,
which is 151 proof or 75 and a half percent.
This stuff has a kick.
In fact, if you drink it straight, your face is going to be like.
Having said that, our next ingredient is Applejack.
Now I'm using large applejack. It's a 40% ABV.
So this is going to have quite a number of competing flavors.
So let's get into it.
And you need your shaking glass.
But before we actually do that, we're going to start
with our cheapest ingredient, which is our lemons.
So we'll cut this in half and squeeze it one ounce or 30 milliliters
into the glass.
Now, you've done that.
You need a little bit of cranberry juice.
And again, I did say that this is the flavor that I had
to substitute in just based on what I had on that live stream.
And you know what?
I think it worked really good, but we need one ounce of cranberry juice,
which works up to 30 milliliters.
The third ingredient that you're going to use is your simple sirup.
Now, if you only have a 1 to 1 simple sirup, you could just use half of this.
But we're going to use the same amount of one ounce or 30 milliliters.
All right.
Now we're going to actually start really boosting this cocktail up
and we're going to start with our large applejack.
Now, I actually really like this stuff.
It's got a great apple scent and flavor.
It it's got that strong alcohol punch and we're going to use the same one ounce
or 30 milliliters
for your next ingredient.
I'm using Gosling's 151 black, still rum.
You can use whatever 151 that you prefer
or that you just happen to have your hands on.
This stuff is really good, except it definitely has a punch.
And I find that you have to use this in a mixed because drink history it's
just a little rough for me.
We're going to use one ounce or 30 milliliters
so you can already see the color change.
And I'll tell you, this stuff is strong but a little bit sweet.
So what we'll do is we
will actually shake this with a good chunk of ice.
And you want to shake this hard and probably easily a full 10 seconds,
maybe right up to 15 seconds.
So grab your lid, slap it on there, make sure you have a really good seal
cover the flip and shake it as well.
Yeah, pop that off with the strength of a thousand cranberries.
Put that off to the side
and you are going to get a little bit of foam in the glass.
But grab yourself a nice double rocks glass.
And what we're going to do is fill this up with some fresh ice.
And assuming you can actually get some of the air through.
But of course,
I finally caught one.
And what we'll do is we will actually fine strain this
to keep any chunks of like so.
Oh, yeah, look at that. Absolutely gorgeous.
I'm not even going to garnish it.
Or else I'd have to ask, should we call the authorities?
Let's try it so immediately you don't get a lot of smell off it.
You get a little bit of cranberry and a little bit of that rum. Oh,
really good.
You've got that apple flavor, you've got that rum and you've got that cranberry
slightly sweet held in there and balanced nicely with the lemon juice.
Absolutely fantastic.
What I'm going to do now is I'm going to show you the first part of the story
so you can see where the idea of this cocktail came from.
And then afterwards, check it, Robin.
Venous Channels, too.
You can watch the other two parts.
Christine, Peter, Sean, Matt, Andrew,
Diogo and Larissa all worked as bartenders in a bar in space.
They served aliens of all shapes and sizes and they loved it.
It was a great job and they loved the company.
But one day one of the bartenders, Thiago, was murdered.
His body was found in one of the back rooms and it was clear
that he had been killed by an alien.
The other bartenders were shocked and scared.
They didn't know what to do.
Should they call the authorities?
Should they try to find the killer themselves?
They didn't know, but they had to do something.
The bartenders went back to work, but they were always on the edge.
They didn't know what to expect.
Would the killer come back?
Would they try to kill again?
They didn't know, but they were prepared for anything.
