Liquid MemoirGreetings! In today's episode, I am tasting Anders' & Kevin's unique cocktail creation. I chose 3 unique ingredients and challenged them to make a cocktail showcasing the ingredients. The fun thing about all this is that they did not know what the other person was creating... until today! So for the first time, we all get to see what they both came up with. This is no cocktail competition, instead is a collaboration, we get to see how 2 different bartenders interpret 3 ingredients differently and we get to see their personal style within their cocktails.
Cocktail recipes: DAHLIA CUP 2oz chamomile-infused Cocchi Americano .5oz Drambuie Mezcal rinse (~3 spritzes, until glass is coated or rinse and dump) Top with lemon oil
CHAMOMILE-INFUSED COCCHI AMERICANO 375ml Cocchi Americano 5g dried chamomile flowers - Add chamomile to Cocchi Americano (room temp) - Stir to incorporate - Allow to steep at room temperature for 1 hour - Filter through fine strainer (I used a coffee filter) - Store in fridge
CHALOMA 1.5oz (45ml) mezcal Vida .75oz (22,5 ml) clarified lemon juice .75oz (22,5 ml) triple syrup a drop of saline solution (20g of salt dissolved in 80g of water) top up with carbonized chamomile tea Coat your highball glass with Lemon Powder Salt.
Clarified Lemon juice with grapefruit: In 200 ml (6.7 oz) of squeezed lemon juice add 15g of grapefruit peel (with white pith removed) and blend it until peels are fully blended. Pour 50ml of juice into the pot and add 0.4g of Agar Agar. Start heating and often stir until agar is fully hydrated. Watch out so you don’t add too much heat to the juice. After you hydrated agar, pour the remaining juice into the heated one and stir well. After that put the juice in the freezer or ice bath so the juice forms into a gel. After that strain, it through a cheesecloth to get a clarified lemon juice with the acidity of the lemon and the taste of the grapefruit.
Tripple syrup: Combine 1 part simple syrup, ½ a part agave syrup, and ¼ part honey syrup.
Lemon powder Use lemon peels from juicing the lemons (with white parts removed) and dehydrate them in a dehydrator. 3h on 70°C or 158°F should be enough. After you have fully dehydrated peels, you can crush them with mortar and pestle. You can also use a coffee/spice grinder too.
Chamomile soda: In 500ml of boiling water add 2.5g of chamomile tea. Cover and let it sit for 5 minutes. Strain it through a cheesecloth or coffee filter so you get rid of all small parts of chamomile. Put it in the fridge and chill it well. After that carbonize it.

#liquidmemoir #2bartenders3ingredientsThe ULTIMATE Festive Drink - Alexander cocktailLiquid Memoir2021-12-21 | When the name Alexander, a few things may come to your mind. Alexander the Great, Alexander Hamilton... But there's also Alexander the Drink! This is a classic cocktail that dates back to the early 1900s. Before the Brandy version, there also was the Gin version. Today we're going to make both versions and compare them, side by side.
Hard to confirm the origins of this drink, because there are a couple compelling stories. But the most plausible one was found by a historian, in the Philadelphia Inquirer from a publication on October 3rd, 1915. It states that a Head bartender “went as far as to create an Alexander cocktail.” This was in honor of Philadelphia pitcher Grover Cleveland Alexander for the 1915 World Series Philly vs Boston. Boston won that series.
Many people however link the cocktail to Troy Alexander. A bartender at a New York pre-Prohibition lobster restaurant called Rector’s. It is said that Mr. Troy created this cocktail for a dinner celebrating a successful advertising campaign. The ad campaign was Phoebe Snow and it ran for almost 70 years. She became one of the most recognized advertising mascots.
But Alexander was a favorite during the Prohibition era as the cream and nutmeg garnish helped disguise the rough taste of Homemade “Bathtub Gin”.
ALEXANDER -Gin- 1.5oz (45ml) Gin 1oz (30ml) White Creme de Cacao 1oz (30ml) Cream 1 Egg White Add all the ingredients into a shaker tin. Shake without ice (Dry Shake) for about 5 seconds. Add ice, shake for about 15 seconds. Strain into a child cocktail glass and garnish with freshly grated nutmeg.
-Brandy- 1.5oz (45ml) Brandy 1oz (30ml) White Creme de Cacao (or dark) 1oz (30ml) Cream Add all the ingredients into a shaker tin. Add ice, shake for about 15 seconds. Strain into a child cocktail glass and garnish with freshly grated nutmeg.

You've probably had a few White Russians. If not, you've at least heard of it or seen it on the big screen. But while this drink can be easily made just building it on the rocks. Why not go an extra step further while keeping the same recipe?
You can make this drink extra fancy. But I'm keeping it simple. Because there are many ways on elevating your drinks. We will keep the same recipe but add a different technique (that you may or may not have heard/seen before). With technique and a touch of extra love (the garnish), are two of the easiest ways of elevating your drink.
WHITE RUSSIAN 1.5oz (45ml) Vodka 1.5oz (45ml) Coffee Liqueur 1oz (30ml) Heavy Cream .25oz (7.5ml) Simple Syrup (OPTIONAL) In a mixing glass add the Vodka, Coffee Liqueur, and Simple (optional), add Ice and Stir for 20 seconds. Strain into a Chilled Cocktail glass.
Separately, in a shaker add about 1oz (30ml) of cream, feel free to add a bit more since you'll be able to control the amount of cream in your drink. Add a small piece of cracked ice and whip shake. Check for its consistency, don't shake for too long. Usually, within 10 seconds it's enough, but it depends. Carefully strain into your cocktail over the back of a bar spoon. And garnish with a generous amount of freshly grated nutmeg.

Like many other cocktails from the past, the history of this drink is pretty obscure. The Army & Navy game is one of the first rivalries in college football tradition played for the first time in 1890 in the U.S. It’s said this cocktail recipe was born to celebrate the last game these players will play before leaving to serve their country.
On the other hand, the first time we find this drink in print is in 1948's The Fine Arts of Mixing Drinks by David A. Embury. I've made other drinks from this book. Check out the Toronto youtube.com/watch?v=lLDC0QUOobk

But of course, I'm going to make it my way. But can have an Espresso Martini anywhere you go? It might be possible with this portable espresso maker.
The Espresso Martini was created in 1983 by famous British bartender Dick Bradsell, who also created the Bramble, which I made in the channel before. Back then he called this drink Vodka Espresso. But during the '90s drinks were added the suffix "Martini" for many drinks that were served up or in a martini glass.

Aperol Spritz is the perfect drink for the summer because it's refreshing and full of bubbles.
The drink dates back to the end of the 19th century in Venice. During this time Venice was still part of the Austrian Empire. Why is that relevant? Well, the Austrian soldiers use to drink local wine in taverns. But then they would dilute the wine with water in order to achieve A similar alcohol content to beer. That's how the Spritzer was born. Spritzer is equal parts wine and soda water.
The region of Veneto is known for Spritz Al Bitter. The cool thing is that a Spritz Al Bitter is not just tied to Aperol. They use different bitter liqueurs including Campari, Aperol, Gran Classico, or even Cynar.
Aperol Spritz Recipe: 1 Bottle (or 2oz/60mls) of Aperol 1 Bottle (or 2oz/60mls) of Sparkling wine of your choice 1 Large Bottle (or 2oz/60mls) of Seltzer or Club Soda Place all the ingredients in a bowl, add Ice, give it a quick mix. Add garnishes, usually oranges. Place a ladle and let people enjoy and serve themselves. Don't forget to serve some for yourself.
Alternatively, in a wine glass filled with ice add all the ingredients, and garnish with an orange slice. Serve with a straw and enjoy.

#LiquidMemoir #Batchedcocktails #AperolSpritzPiña Colada from Puerto RicoLiquid Memoir2021-07-02 | Hey folks! July 10th marks national Piña Colada day. I traveled to Puerto Rico to taste 2 different Piña Coladas, from 2 different establishments that proclaim to be the place where the Piña Colada was born. We will also see how they stack up against each other, while later on making one ourselves.
The Piña Colada was created in Puerto Rico in 1954 by Don Ramon Monchito Marrero at the Caribe Hilton. And it was also created in 1963 by Don Ramon Portas Mingot at Barrachina in Old San Juan. Two different Don Ramon's but almost 10 years apart. Let's take a closer look at both places and their Piña Coladas. So get ready for take-off and let's go to Puerto Rico!
The Piña Colada was first mentioned in cocktail books in the 1960s, Which is around the same time when this drink started gaining a lot of popularity. It took some time for this drink to gain popularity because Monchito actually created the Piña Colada as a shaken drink without alcohol. It wasn't until later on that alcohol was added. It's also said that he was a very humble man to the point that some co-workers of his would mention guests, he's the man who created the Piña Colada, Monchito would respond "That's what people say".
RECIPE: Piña Colada 2oz (60mls) Don Q Gold - or any gold rum of your choice- 2oz (60mls) Fresh Pineapple Juice 2oz (60mls) Coco Lopez Add all the ingredients into a blender, add about 2 scoops or 1 cup of ice, and blend until silky buttery smooth. Pour your drink into a goblet or hurricane glass, serve with a straw and garnish with a pineapple slice and a cherry. The umbrella is optional. Cheers!Tepache | A Light & Sweet Pineapple BeerLiquid Memoir2021-06-26 | Tepache is a beverage that is naturally fermented with Pineapple and Water. Think of it as a Light & Sweet Pineapple beer but, it does not have any alcohol. Tepache is often sweetened with Piloncillo sugar and spiced with cinnamon and other spices.
This drink dates back to Mexican indigenous roots. It's usually a housemade beverage and nowadays you may find it as a cocktail ingredient at bars and also sold by street vendors. Tepache has gained lots of popularity over the last few years so let's make it!
*Note this recipe called for the pineapple to be blended and added, because it will be used in cocktails. However, I have made this with just the pineapple rinds and the core and it tastes great!*
Recipe: Tepache 1 Whole Pineapple 1cup/128g Piloncillo Sugar (Turbinado sugar works great as well) 3 1-inch cubes of Fresh Ginger (Thinly Sliced) 4 Cinnamon Sticks 6 Cloves 4 Cardamom Pods Cut the pineapple, save the rinds and the core. Place everything in a fermentation jar or a container. Seal it and place it in a cool dark place for 48 hours. Stirring it occasionally every 24 hours. After 48 hours, strain out all the solids, rinse and clean your jar/container, and put the liquid back in there, seal it and store it in the container for 3 days in the fridge. Use within 2-3 weeks.
Serve chilled in a glass filled with ice and enjoy.

A Mudslide and my version of Starbucks Caramel Macchiato but with plenty of Vodka! We are making these cocktails with coffee liqueur, fresh espresso, housemade Vanilla syrup. Oh, and don't worry there'll be plenty of Whip Cream.
Disaronno Velvet is a cream-based liqueur. It still has notes from the original amaretto. You definitely get some nutty, apricot flavors, that are rounder with the Velvet's creamy texture.
Recipe: Vanilla Syrup 1/2 cup or 100g Water 1/2 cup or 100g Sugar Half of a Vanilla Bean split in Half, scraping the Vanilla into the pot (or use 1/2 Tsp. Of vanilla Extract) Add all the ingredients to a pot, stir constantly until sugar is dissolved. Let it completely cool down. Strain, label, and store in the fridge. Use within 3 weeks.
Mudslide: 1oz (30ml) Tito's (or any vodka you have) 1oz (30ml) Mr. Black Coffee Liqueur 1oz (30ml) Disaronno Velvet 1.5oz (45ml) Heavy Cream .5oz (15ml) Simple Syrup (optional if you want it slightly sweeter) Garnish with dark chocolate shavings on top
Boozy Starbuck's Caramel Macchiato: 1oz (30ml) Vodka 1oz (30ml) Fresh Espresso 1oz (30ml) Disaronno Velvet 2oz (60ml) Heavy Cream .5oz (15ml) Disaronno .5oz (15ml) Vanilla Syrup 2 Dashes of Saline Solution (80grams of water to 40grams of Salt) Garnish with whip cream, caramel sauce, and optionally add a pinch of flaky salt on top.
#dessertcocktails #disaronnovelvet #liquidmemoirTEQUILA and Hibiscus | Casa Dragones Cocktail CompetitionLiquid Memoir2021-05-14 | Today's video is a bit different. I decided to share this video I made some time ago for a cocktail competition that I participated in for Casa Dragones. It's always fun to make new drinks, it's a way to challenge myself and to play around with ingredients.
Hats Off is a tribute to the beauty of Mexico. It's about recognizing Mexican tradition, culture, and hard labor. From the delicious Agua de Jamaica, its a natural water made out of dried hibiscus flower, combined with a bit of spices such as cinnamon, cardamom, and cloves which adds more depth and flavor to the drink. While balancing it all with fresh citrus and tropical pineapple juice.
A hint of bitter, root, and spices from the Mexican Liqueur Amargo Vallet, adds complexity and binds all the other flavors including our main Ingredient. Casa Dragones Blanco. It was a challenge to have this tequila still shine in a shaker full of flavor and summer tropicalness. That's why I added a few dashes of Saline. Which will make even more sense to take a sip by the ocean shore. Give this drink a short whip shake and strain it in a glass full of crushed ice and tops off with beautiful garnishes, such as edible pansy flowers and pineapple fronds. My Hats Off to you, for following me on this journey, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

And I'm joined by my friend, bartender, and spirits expert Kevin Baird. We will taste tequilas ranging from $20-$80 and we will determine which of these tequilas is worth paying your hard-earned money for.
After tasting the tequila we will determine which Tequila Blanco makes the BEST Margarita for Cinco de Mayo.
Liquid Session is a chill sit-down booze talk. The idea is to take different spirit categories and taste entry-level all the way to top shelf and rare bottles. We uncork, smell taste, and talk about the spirits with occasional life talk. This is meant to be a chill conversation with some educational segments.

Its me, I’m back. Hopefully for good. Outside of bartending and cocktail enthusiasts world. Sherry wine is not as widely popular. Sherry had a really bad rep, but this fortified wine has been used for centuries. And has been found in cocktail recipes way back in the day in the 1800s. Sherry cocktails don’t have to be complicated to be enjoyed. Also, you don’t always need high proof cocktails to have a good time.

#liquidmemoirHow to make the BEST CoquitoLiquid Memoir2020-12-18 | Puerto Rico is known for many things. Music, beaches, food and their long Christmas season.

I took the traditional recipe and elevated it with housemade ingredients. Join me today for a little bit of tradition and Puerto Rican Coquito, an eggnog with no eggs and coconut base deliciousness.
