I've been a bartender for 12 years, and I think the most important thing you said in the whole video was about gatekeeping. These recipes look awesome, and accessible. You probably know this, but if you want more extraction on the ginger for the syrup you can dice it. You can also juice the ginger by blending and running through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth and then whisk that into the honey syrup. Thanks for making cocktails a bit more accessible.

[@kevinmiller1356]

My preferred method to add ginger to a cocktail is just to grate a little in the shaker. It uses way less ginger and gets a much sharper flavor then the stuff that’s boiled. However, it only works with strained cocktails since you would gets chunks of ginger otherwise.

[@ObitoSigma]

Wait bartenders actually do more than throwing common alcohols and mixes into a glass?

[@jarydgallant1348]

My buddy had a house warming party and we're both homebrewers who made a few batches for the occasion.

Making an Eiffel 65 reference in 2021 is the reckless energy I come here for.

[@seanthebluesheep]

On the subject of "authenticity" and "tradition" in cocktails, from a professional cocktail bartender: Aside from the historical influence on recipes, there are lots of methods that arose in the original way a cocktail was made that contribute in unexpected ways that you may not realise until you change them. Sometimes, those traditional methods are bad though. Traditions are rules, and rules are made to be broken. Fuck around and find out, you never know what interesting things you'll discover.

[@andrewp6738]

and at the end of the day, just add “my variation on” to the front of any recipe name and you are now ironclad gatekeep-proof

[@DiskoSpider]

It's nice to stick to tradition and be authentic, but imo just do whatever makes it taste good.

[@WaaluigiBoard]

Malibu pineapple juice and cranberry ginger ale is super easy and everyone loves it + the color of the red on top

[@justfornothing]

A local coffee shop I like makes a spritzy americano with espresso, tonic water, OJ, pineapple, and coconut syrup (plus a roasted pineapple bit on top... delicious). Coffee and pineapple together takes a second to accept but I ended up buying them all summer. Will definitely try out Mr Bali Hai when I get the chance.

[@jamesdonson139]

"Bluer the Violet Beauregarde at an Eiffel 65 concert" that is poetry in motion. My goodness.

[@stevenmiraglia49]

A bar I used to work at had its own version of the butterfly tea drink, however, we used pineapple juice and lemonade for the base and topped with Empress Gin (blue coloured Gin made with the same flower) we called it the “Empress Purple Reign”. Loved your version as well :)

[@omgitsjulian]

I would amend what he said and say that every person should know a cocktail RATIO, rather than a specific cocktail. Example 2oz strong, 3/4 sweet, 3/4 sour, plus one egg white, will get you a generic sour. Stuff like this will make you more versatile and less afraid of a cocktail. Also it's important to know about how oxidation and acid has an affect on cocktails and why they start to degrade in flavor over time. This is a reason why punches are not super popular for cocktail enthusiasts... unless we're talking milk punch.

[@Ferrousbull]

The easiest cocktail I make that really impressed people is a margarita. I just use tequila and sweet and sour made from fresh limes and about 1/4 fresh OJ. If I have it on hand I'll use orange liqueur, but the juice mix does most of the heavy lifting. You can swap the orange with grapefruit, tangerine, or other fresh juice or blended fresh pineapple, melon berries or other fruit for something more seasonal. If I'm not too busy I might also crank out some caipirinhas (I just use rum) or mojitos. They take time, but they don't require many fancy ingredients. If you don't want to keep a ton of obscure liquor on hand, a little fresh fruit can make for amazing cocktails. It doesn't even have to take any extra shopping, just visit the produce aisle when your shopping for party snacks.

[@autodidacticartisan]

Or just use tequila, limeade and triple sec. It gets you close if youre not trying to win any awards.

[@Kitaeo]

If you've got extra honey syrup, throw it together with some gin and lemon juice to make a bee's knees!

[@portellio_the_space_rider9473]

Everyone out here giving tips… so here’s mine: feel free to grate ginger into the shaker to get a stronger ginge kick than infusing it into sugar or honey syrup. Can save you from the trouble of making too many extra ingredients your not going to use too often while still making a great tasting cocktail.

[@cynthiakeller5954]

Excellent idea. I've got everything else, so bottoms up on my Saturday night!

[@omargomez8714]

Ranch water is my go-to. I like seeing the confused look of disgust when someone doesn’t know what it is.

[@cirroscape]

You should call “Unnamed Purple Lemonade” a “Thai Garden” because it’s very similar to a drink called nam dok anchan which is pretty much the same as the unnamed purple lemonade but without the addition of gin.

[@honeyapple4511]

you really missed an opportunity to mention the butterfly peas botanical name: Clitoria ternatea and yes it is named like that because the flower resembles a vulva

[@cynthiakeller5954]

That is my new favorite flower!

[@Joseph-rx9tp]

You're right. Nobody does a punch bowl anymore, but that stuff is so delicious.

[@fantsepants1747]

For the syrup, since it's already a high effort cocktail, I recommend sous vide infusion. Water, honey, ginger at 140 for an hour. It let's some honey flavor still come through despite the other strong flavors in the drink.

[@omgitsjulian]

If syrup is "high effort" for anyone...(I would argue that making a cup of tea is more involved). As I would agree to the circulator, I would also move to a 2:1 simple, and adding a bit of vodka to it to make it (more) shelf stable. This way you can have your "high effort" simple syrup last you months.

[@internetshaquille]

so much big brain thinking in this thread already i love it

[@ColAlbSmi]

Wouldn't the honey get sucked into the sous vide and ruin it?

[@omgitsjulian]

@@ColAlbSmi After blending the water and honey, you would transfer the ginger and slurry to a bag... don't stick your circulator in the liquid... or... if you do, send me a vide of you doing it ;)

[@fantsepants1747]

@@omgitsjulian I didn't mean the syrup specifically, more in that it's a nice cocktail with ingredients that are difficult to source for some, so you might as well spend a bit more effort (really barely more) for the syrup. Also, you'd have to add a good amount of vodka to make it shelf stable. I'd skip that and do, probably close to a 3:1 syrup so that it's shelf stable on its own from sugar content. That's a wild guess for the sugar content, though.

A note about ice: most of it's chilling power comes from melting, and the melt-water mixing with the drink. If you can, chill all of the ingredients of that punch before serving. The giant chunk of ice will melt slower, but that also means it cools it down slower.

My favorite simple cocktail is just a Paloma It's like a Rum and Coke but with Tequila and Grapefruit soda (I prefer Mexican Fresca, but if you can't find it, Squirt is fine). If you don't mind spending a little more, I think it tastes best with a good Resposado as the kinda smokey caramel flavors from that mix in so well. You can pretty it up with some lime juice, salting the rim, garnishing with a slice of Grapefruit, if you so want. Ultimately, so long as the two base things are there, it's always a good drink.

“Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.” _1 Peter 5:8 “Stop drinking only water, and use a little wine because of your stomach and your frequent illnesses.” _ 1 Timothy 5:23 “Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit,” _ Ephesians 5:18 “For you have spent enough time in the past doing what pagans choose to do-living in debauchery, lust, drunkenness, orgies, carousing and detestable idolatry.” _1 Peter 4:3 “Let us behave decently, as in the daytime, not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and debauchery, not in dissension and jealousy.” _ Romans 13:13 drink a little bit but no too much to get drunk because drunkenness is a sin. God gave us consciousness, He created us on his image, out of all the other species and living organisms, He gave us consciousness and brains. Anything that masks that (like getting drunk) is deleting God’s image from your life.
