Ti: How does one infuse a tequila with Earl Grey?
Yael: All you need is tea, you can have it
in a bag or - oh yeah, You! I like to use about one tea bag for 8 ounces of...
Ti: What's up everybody it's your girl Ti, and welcome back to another Skybound Happy Hour!
Today we are joined by Tom Payne! Jesus himself! or apparently Jesus goes Hawaiian!
Tom: Yes I've dressed up for the occasion.
Ti: But we are also, of course, joined by Yael our mixologist extraordinaire who's going to show us a
very extraordinary cup!
Yael: This week we are making the "Ready to Win!" This is going to
be a tequila based cocktail using Don Julio Blanco tequila. What I've done a
little bit of a twist on a classic tequila cocktail called the El Diablo
but actually infused the Don Julio with Earl Grey.
Ti: For our British friend?
Yael: I knew you were coming...
Tom: Appropriate. Thank you!
Yael: I'm going to have my little British friend making a cocktail with me as well!
Let's get started then shall we?
Ti: Yes
Yael: First step we're gonna start with 3/4 of an ounce
of lime juice. Don't be intimidated by my flair please.
Ti: You don't have to do with
your pinky up unless you're a true gentleman.
Yael: You've done this before, yeah?
Tom: I've definitely done this before but not this particular drink,
'cuz this is a specially created drink for this episode.
We're gonna go 3/4 of an ounce of ginger syrup as well now where does
one procure ginger scissor basically it's just ginger juice and cane sugar so
I like to do a blend of three parts cane sugar to 2 parts ginger juice cuz you
need a little bit more sugar ginger super spicy and fiery next we will do
the Earl Grey infused Donnelly o Blanco it's gonna be an ounce and a quarter
this line here what's the difference between this one and the regular LD I
believe so we're working within Earl Grey and whew
the ogre is the way yeah exactly next we are going to do something that we call a
whip shake so this is for drinks that are typically tall and effervescent we
want to get it to temperature but we don't want to dilute it too much because
we are gonna top this with sparkling water so I'm just gonna use like one
basic cube such a basic and we are going to shake this until you can't hear it
any more
because I know how to both whip and nae nae but I've never seen a flip state
quick so you can start to hear it all go away okay that means that means that
we've actually reduce also perfectionist and so the reason why we did a whip
shake is because we're gonna add sparkling water on top of it so we don't
really need to add a ton of dilution which is why we just gave it a whip
shake I'm so now let's pour it in smells gorgeous I can smell the ginger already
and now we are going to top it pretty much up to the top with sparkling water
we're gonna drizzle with creme de cassis just a quarter ounce with your spent
lime shell place it on top of just read it just it just goes in there okay so
it's rustic how did you make that garnish just cut a lime and I've got a
sugar cube so we're gonna light them on fire
I made sure for this thing and there you have it yeah it's a very hot flame it's
all blue yeah I really even see it so that is hot look at ice cubes sizzling
yeah that's cool sizzle effect it smells really good
well I think the best part the Skybound happy hour needs to happen right now and
that's taste I agree I wait these are paper straws right good job Skybound
Cheers enjoy thanks so much yeah I could drink that that's great
how'd we do the ginger works really well with the illah great ginger gives it a
little bit of spice and warmth but still being refreshing as an iced beverage I
