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're going to make a cocktail called a Lady Bird.
It's stunningly gorgeous, and it's a mix of a combination of two types of cocktail.
A we have the boozy, I want to get drunk cocktail and B you get the sweeter more
tropical, vibrant colored cocktail, and these are going to be smashed together.
In a way that says, oh yes, it's paradise.
It's tropical.
And you know what, come and drink me right now.
So let's give it a shot.
So let's talk a little bit about the ingredients first.
Now there are nine ingredients to this cocktail, and that seems like a lot.
And we're actually going to break this cocktail down into
like three little stages.
That'll make it easier for you to make sure that you get correct.
If you want to make sure you get that gorgeous, layered.
Look now what we are going to do is we're going to start on.
Any type of glass, we'll do it.
I'm going to use a stirring glass just because it's got a poor spout on it and
it'll make my life easier at the end.
But the first ingredients that we are going to use are the
parts of an Audios Mother***er.
And like I said, we've got a little bit of tequila.
Vodka rum and blue curious out, and this will give us the blue layered effect.
So make sure you stay all the way till the end, so you can see how we layer it in.
But first let's just get in place with our tequila here and I'm using
an Espolon tequila and we're going to use half an ounce or 15 milliliters.
Next we're going to use our dry gin and we're going to use the Beefeater because
it's going to give us a cleaner note.
It's also going to give us a little bit of that Juniper that we want,
and we're going to use half an ounce or 15 milliliters as well.
Next, you're going to use a little bit of vodka.
Now you can use whatever you want.
I'm using a local vodka, crazy monkey from Toronto.
It's simple, it's easy.
And it's pretty smooth.
Actually we'll use the same half an ounce or 15 milliliters.
Next we're going to continue on to our vodka.
And in this case, I'm using Bacardi white rum.
We use your rum of choice.
This just works.
You don't necessarily want something really high end in a
cocktail like this, and we're going to use half an ounce or 15 mil.
And the last ingredient that we need for this part of the cocktail is a little
bit of blue Curacao to wherever you want.
I've got McGuinness brand.
It's what I can get.
And this is an orange look here.
That's of course, colored blue, and we're going to use half an
ounce or 15 milliliters as well.
Now that you've got your blue cure.
So in there, and you've got a lot of that blue color, grab yourself
a spoon and just give this a little bit of agitation or a swirl.
You just want to make sure it's all mixed together properly.
And then put this off to the side because what you're going to do
next is grab your pint glass.
And we are going to build this caucus.
In our pound class.
So grab your Digger again.
And what you're going to do is grab some Grinti.
Now this is the last of my roses.
And for this, we're going to use a half an ounce or 15 milliliters.
Now that we've added her granite in what we're going to do is add.
But first throw this into your bin for recycling because you know
what all about the environment.
So grab some ice I'm using smaller.
This will actually make the layering process easier.
So what we'll do is we'll pour this in on top of.
Now don't be shy with your ice because what's going to happen is as we pour
our liquid over, we'll get a little bit of dilution and the ice will settle.
So make sure you have some more ice because you may need to
adjust that level accordingly.
And what we're going to do is we're going to start with some
pure pressed pineapple juice.
It has a heavier sugar content and the reason.
In this specific order is the more sugar you have.
The denser a liquid is.
So in this case, we're going to go grinning, we'll go pineapple juice,
orange juice, and then our lime juice.
But for this, we're going to use one ounce or 30 million.
Now we are going to use in order to, so like I said, I'm using
100% pulp free orange juice.
Totally my preference, but use whatever you want.
And this has other than I can't get off and we'll use one
ounce again or 30 milliliters.
Perfect.
So what we are going to do next is use some lime juice and, you know,
you just need the exact same amount.
We're going to use one ounce or 30 milliliters, but you're just going to
want to squeeze out your limes you know, until you get what you want out of this
and, uh, put your husks aside so that you can make an olio sacrum, or you could
even, um, make yourself a lime cordial
and we're just going to put this back in.
Like, so
now I just said, put this back in.
So it must be an error in the script.
Fine.
Let me check the script.
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
It's all David's fault.
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
It's all your fault.
I see.
It is my fault.
Anyways, the next thing you want to do is add just a little bit more ice here.
You just want to of top it up with a couple of cubes, Jeff, just because you
know, not quite that much, apparently David's not following the script today.
However, grab.
Your combination of blue Curacao and your other look liquors.
And what we're going to do is just pour this on top and layer, but
we're going to do that slowly.
And this looks absolutely stunning.
I will tell you like a lady bird out in the wild, gorgeous, gorgeous
plumage, and a gorgeous, gorgeous drink.
Now I do recommend that you either sit from the bottom up and get the changing
of the flavors or give it a mix.
But when you go to.
It is going to muddy up and look kind of not very pretty,
but for our purposes in this.
Is a lady bird.
Now, what I will do is I will put the ingredients and the method of how to make
this doubt in the description down below.
