welcome friends welcome back to the
kitchen welcome back to cocktails after
dark today we're going to do another
cocktail out of this
1934 cocktail manual called
my new cocktail book by mr steele
it is signed by the author
and it's an interesting compilation
of cocktails from all over the world
and you can tell
that he's compiled this book because the
recipes are
given with different measuring amounts
some of them are given by 50
50 some of them are given by
one quarter one quarter one quarter some
of them are given by actual ounces and
jiggers and so on and so forth
so he's gone out he's compiled all of
these recipes put them in a book
and there's no method to any of them
it's just a list of ingredients
there's no method there's no how to
garnish them what to put them in
leaves it up to you
as the person making these at home
how you actually want to put them
together
so this is called the little devil
it has lemon juice in it so i am going
to say that i'm going to shake this
cocktail so we're going to start out
half ounce of lemon juice in each i'm
going to make two cocktails slightly
differently
so same amount of lemon juice in each
one
then it calls for cuantro
but i'm sure you could use any curacao
or orange liqueur that you wanted or
liked
it calls for one ounce of bacardi rum
and it calls bacardi out
by name
so we will use bacardi
then it calls for a half ounce of dried
gin
it doesn't call it a brand by name so
i'm just going to use two that julie and
i really like
that always seem to work in these
cocktails
and i need oh i need one ounce that was
a half ounce okay so
am i gonna have enough
just barely
and we'll switch to
a different
[ __ ]
this is on gaba this is a canadian gin
it's made with botanicals from the
northern forests of quebec
this is dylan's gin it's also a canadian
gin and it's made with rye we really
like both of these
and
ice
and shake
hey jules hey glenn hey friends okay
what do we got today this is the little
devil oh is it now
made two ways one with ungava and one
with the dillons okay
let's give it a go see what happens
huh
i'm not sure
oh this has that banana smell
wow those are really different yeah
they are
which one do you prefer
this one i find almost
lacking in any flavor a little bit
except for the banana smell a little bit
did you get the banana smell i didn't
get the banana spill but but i know what
you mean it's a it's a little bit flat
it doesn't challenge you you sort of
swallow it and you go yeah okay that was
this one's got flavor like big flavor
doesn't it
yeah
yeah it's it's it's
but i'm not sure it's one that i truly
enjoy
it's not awful it's not that like oh god
but i i i'm not super fond of it it has
i think it i wouldn't judge lemony i
wouldn't jump out to have it again
no i do get the orange undertone
lemon boom orange undertones sort of
there in the aftertaste
um
it could use with a little bit of sweet
that might be what it's missing now the
cointreau
does have sugar in it it is a liqueur it
does have sugar but when we did that
tasting it was one of the ones that was
lowest on the sweet scale
so if you chose a different curacao it
would be a little bit sweeter
and that may change the flavor yet again
that's what makes it so hard right
there's so many variations variables
sorry there's so many variables
and i mean there's
a dozen
bacardi white rums to choose from that
have different flavors and you know so
again we get into that situation but i
don't
i mean it's not really for me
it's not one that i have a second one of
no no
no i no
okay so the little devil yeah maybe
thanks for stopping by see you again
soon
i hope that fly didn't come through yeah
it came through a couple times navit
can't fly
