Welcome back to Booze On The Rocks where we make cocktails for everyone.
My name is David Edwards and it's great to have you here today.
We are going to make a Royal Hawaiian.
Now this is a riff on a Blue Hawaiian, however, there's nothing blue
about it and there's no rum in it.
It actually contains gin.
And this was created by the same company that created the emperor's 1908 gin.
So I found this while I was looking through their website.
This looks really good.
I'm going to try it for the first time with you here today right now.
So you know what, before we get started, let's talk about the ingredients.
The first thing we need is some impressive 1908 gin.
Now this is a Canadian gin from British Columbia and it's
42.5% ABV and it also contains.
Butterfly flea, butterfly, pea flower, which absolutely gives it
the beautiful dark purple color that actually turns a light color.
As soon as you add citrus to it, the next thing you need.
Pineapple juice.
And in this case, I'm using pure press pineapple juice or
unsweetened pineapple juice.
That way the natural flavors of the pineapple actually
come through in the stricken.
Next, we're going to use some homemade Orgeat.
Now this is an almond syrup.
And what I will do that will put the ingredients in a method of how to
make this down in the description down below the next thing we need.
Some limits because you got to have some lemon juice with this because
it just makes everything perfect.
And for your garnish, we're going to use some pineapple fonds.
So let's get into it.
Now, this is a layered cocktail.
It's also a shaken cocktail.
So the first thing you need is your shaking glass.
Now most bars, and a lot of YouTube bartenders will tell you to start
with your cheapest ingredients first.
And in this case, It actually works in our favor.
So we're going to use our homemade orgreat.
Now, one of the reasons my orgeat is darker than most people.
I use an blanched almonds to create.
Now you could use blanched almonds totally up to you because you know,
it'll be your syrup and we're going to use half an ounce or 15 milliliters.
Okay.
And one of the good things about using your syrup first is you
will actually rinse out the jigger with every subsequent pour.
After that.
The next thing you need is some lemon juice.
So we're going to grab a lemon.
I've just done chop it in half because we need half an ounce or 15 milliliters.
Okay.
Oh, yeah.
And you got enough lemon leftover for another drink.
Perfect.
After this, we need our pineapple juice.
Now I did say I was using pure press pineapple juice.
If you feel that you'd like to use a concentrated pineapple juice or something
a little bit sweeter after having made the cocktail, or when you're adjusting
it, go for it, your cocktail, your flavors, because if it's the drink you
like, and it's in your hand, you can't go wrong and we're going to use it.
Or a 30 milliliters.
Okay, look at that.
So the next thing we want to do is shake it with some ice.
So in this case, because I'm actually building my glass with
crushed ice, I'm going to use.
A little bit of crushed ice and I'm going to give it a bit of a whipped
shake and we don't need a lot because this is just going to be a light
shake to begin the dilution process and show it that, okay, we'll shake
it because I saw it used to be hard.
You know what I mean?
Beautiful.
So grab your glass of choice.
In this case, I'm using a highball glass.
Um, use a small glass.
If you want use anything you want, it's totally up to you.
Grab some crushed ice and just, you want to fill it about halfway.
Now, what we're going to do is just free pour this directly into here because
you've already got crushed ice in here.
There's no use of wasting it
and eventually that's going to sink down.
It's going to seep down and get there.
So, you know what, grab your spoon, give it just a bit of just enough of a stir
just to mix it and make it all look good.
Beautiful.
Now we're going to add some more, right.
And we're just sort of filling this up, but not much.
And the reason for that is because we're going to add our gin and allow them.
Layers to differentiate.
So we're gonna use our imprints 1908 gin, and we need announced
and a half or 45 milliliters.
And you just want to pour it on there slowly so that it floats on top.
Like, so look at that.
And then, okay.
Maybe just add a little bit more.
Nice,
beautiful.
Grab two pineapple fronds.
Look at that.
And you have a gorgeous, gorgeous Royal horse.
Get yourself a straw and give it a taste.
Gorgeous.
You get the almond, you get the orange that comes out of here.
You get the.
Pineapple juice.
All those flavors were work really well together and they blend
with the citrus notes of the gym.
