Hey Drinks Tubers, welcome back to cocktail request week. We're down here at Old street
tube station making up some cocktails. #cocktailrequest. Down with us now we've got a mate, who has
literally just popped in his name is Doug Armstrong. That's me, I was just walking by
and I just saw you guys, so I thought I'd pop in. He's got a few youtube followers I
understand, a few followers on twitter? I do. Why? ... I asked them what they would
like to see in a cocktail about me and obviously the thing that they said was cheesecake because
I'm a massive cheesecake. I knew they'd say that I don't know why I even tweeted about
it. So cheesecake? can we turn that into a cocktail? We can. In response to your followers
on twitter, and youtube and so on, we've created you a flip. We've called it the cheesecake
flip, which is got all the flavours that you'd expect to find in a cheesecake, including
mascarpone cheese, and some berries, and some really tasty gold rum. That sounds amazing,
I'm excited already, so I'm going to be doing this? You are going to be doing this. OK walk
me through it. We've pre-chopped a whole load of cherries, some lovely fresh cherries- there
is four of them in there. Just chuck them in the bottom of the mixing glass. All in?
Yep, chuck it all in. We need one blackberry, I'll do that, there we go. And we talked about
sage leaves as well, this is going to make a real difference to the drink it's going
to give nice freshness to it. So you've got a thick creamy kind of cocktail and the sage
is just gonna lengthen everything out. I've got to say I would never of thought to put
sage in a cocktail- but I trust you. Give it a spank. That's it yeah. Release the flavours.
Exactly. Drop it straight it in there, then we're going to be using some caster sugar
as well. How much? One flat tablespoon. Ok. It's going to be quite sweet. It's a bit of
a deserty drink. I have a sweet tooth so that's good. We then need to mash all this stuff
up so literally muddle it all up with the bottom end there. Like that? Exactly. Oh that's
look good, it looks like a nice berry compote. It does, exactly. Of course we need the the
creamy base of our of our cheesecake, mascarpone. That's a teaspoon, so we're going to need
about 2 or 3 of these and just kind of do that with the mascarpone cheese around the
inside of the glass. What swizzle it round like that. Yeah exactly. Get as much as possible.
So two of them? Two or maybe three, a tablespoon would be perfect. Looking like a cheesecake
already. It does doesn't it? Yeah have a look at that, isn't that great? Nice. So now just
to give a little bit more length we're going to add a little bit of cream. So we're going
to do two table spoons of cream. Single or double. This is double cream. So it's two
15 ml, so 30 ml of cream. Perfect, just give it a quick mix. Looking really tasty. That's
very creamy. It is indeed. So the spirit, this is maraschino liqueur- cherry liqueur
basically. So we're literally just after a teaspoon of that. That is a massive teaspoon.
That was a generous teaspoon. It was a generous teaspoon. And then we need 35 of rum, so this
is a 50 ml measure, so around about there should be perfect. About 2/3. It's a bit generous.
It will be fine. Before we shake all this up we just need to give it a quick stir. I
can do that. Give it whip. Give it whip? Like you're whipping an egg. Ice. Ice, how much?
Pack it, fill it to the top. OK, I'm very excited for this- genuinely cheesecake is
my favourite thing ever. So cheesecake flip is going to be amazing. Cheesecake and booze.
Is that enough ice, is that good? That's absolutely perfect. When you shake it, shake it long
make sure you give it a lot of aeration. Big shakes. There you go. Is that good? Perfect.
There you go, look at that colour. Isn't that an amazing colour. I'm excited. So I'm gonna
strain this into a teacup, we're also gonna put it through a fine strainer to get rid
of all those little lumps of ice. Never had a cocktail in a teacup. Have you not? No.
Excellent. First time for everything. That looks so good. It does doesn't it. So we need
to garnish this drink, just a little dusting of nutmeg over the top, so when you come in
your gonna have this lovely nutmeggy type of aroma. And then. With a biscuit. With a
biscuit of course what would a cheesecake be without a digestive. There you go. Awesome.
So there it is Doug's Cheesecake flip. Yes. Are you ready for this mate? I'm so ready,
I've never been more ready- thank you. Enjoy. OK, here we go, moment of truth. Oh that's
so good. Oh, so creamy- it's amazing. This could be my new favourite cocktail. Amazing.
Cheesecake flip ala Doug. Can we call it that. Cheesecake flip ala Doug? Cheesecake flip
ala Doug. There you go, that's it's new name. Would you like a biscuit? Oh I would actually,
that'd be rather nice. I'm gonna dunk it? Gonna dunk it in? Yeah sure. Give it a little
Dunk. That works too. Mmm, really good. Works so well together... cheesecake. Skills. Thank
you so much. So this is Doug's Cheesecake flip it's absolutely awesome. So good. Awesome.
