Welcome to Drinks Tube! My name is Simone, I've been bar tending for eleven years all
around the world. I've been enjoying beautiful cocktail parties, but today i'm gonna make
a cocktail for you, you can replicate at home on the next house party you gonna do. I will
not make you send all night long in the kitchen making cocktail, I want you dance! All night
long with your cocktail! I'm gonna make you try a classic gin swizzle, the perfect cocktail
for a house party. The gin swizzle is very easy to make at home, easy as dancing, cos
don't forget, you are in a party. So what we need is gin and we put 50 ml.
Ok.
If you are having party for more people, you just multiple the size of the glass or the measure.
So it is very easy to always make a perfect balanced cocktail. Next ingredient, is a fresh
lime. The reason why Iike to massage the lime like this is we get all the juice, you see
how soft it became? and when we are gonna cut it in half on my chop board, look how
much juice I can get out of it, look! Nice and juicy! Now we need a touch of sweetness
but can when you have a party you the sweetness that keeps you moving all night long. I'm
gonna show you how to make an easy, homemade, spiced syrup. Take an empty jam jar, and don't
forget to use the lid as well. We get some caster sugar, lets say we fill up to half
the jam jar and now we choose our favourite spice, for a perfect party you use a stick
of cinamon. I'm gonna split it in half, and i'm gonna break it into small shards, inside
of it. You see? Very simple, don't tell me you can't do it cos it's very easy to do! Don't give me
any excuses! I want you to party with the home made spice. Now you need to disolve your
sugar, with the spice and i've got half of the sugar, half of the hot water. Wow, it
really starts to explode the aroma of the cinnamon. Doing this i'm gonna dissolve everything
and the heat is gonna infuse the cinnamon with my home made syrup, five seconds, I have
a beautiful homemade cinnamon, spiced syrup. How cool is that?
Boom! Wow!
I'm gonna put 20 ml of homemade cinnamon syrup, here we go. The drink is ready...
I need only one thing... the coolest ice ever. I want to make it refreshing, I want to use crushed ice but
I don't have crushed ice, what should I do? Well... I take a tea towel, and I get my classic
ice cubes, I put it in the middle like this and I wrap it up like a beautiful birthday
present. I've been working all week, I'm ready to release all my strength and i'm gonna take
a pan and make my homemade crushed ice! Naturally crushed ice... yes! I'm gonna put half of
the glass with crushed ice, I can take a classic wooden spoon from my kitchen and i'm gonna
swizzle it. Perhaps you can follow the rhythm of the party, of course! Of Course! It's done,
it's over. I'm gonna top up with more crushed ice and i'm gonna start to garnish. I'm gonna
put a straw on the side, start to garnish with a little bit of mint spring. Put it next
to the straw because it will give a beautiful perfume on the nose any time you approach
the glass. I'm gonna garnish with beautiful strawberries.
Perfect for a party.
You simply slice it every couple of millimeters, this is the easiest way to make a beautiful fan
of strawberry. You gonna place it on top of your drink. I'm gonna take a small stick of
cinnamon and i'm gonna crush it, on the top. This is nice a simple, party cocktail!
So gin swizzle, ready for party, let's try. Lovely spiced aroma, mmm, I can feel the music already.
Guys, next party, enjoy, try, I want to read all your comments.
