4 x Tequila Cocktails for Celebrating Cinco de Mayo!

[@GAStayPosi]

Get you someone that looks at you the way Steve smiles when shaking a drink.

[@drd9136]

A bartender is required to smile while shaking a drink, after all you should show people that you enjoy what you do:D

[@takadacol]

Thanks Steve! My Mexican wife appreciated the historical accuracy at the start - drives her crazy when people think it’s Mexican Independence Day!! We use agave syrup in our margaritas - a great combo. The Paloma is a classic, especially at weddings, apparently - not something that Mexicans would drink on a standard night out. But, you need the salt - Mexico is all about the lime and salt!

[@StevetheBartender_]

Cheers Colin! I learned a lot whilst preparing this one.. Cinco de Mayo isn't widely celebrated/known in Australia..

[@StevetheBartender_]

Haha thanks Sir Suitee!

[@TheTribalBarGuy]

As someone that love tequila, this is one of my favorite videos. The spicy blackberry, vanilla and jalapeño smash sounds like a match made in Heaven! Great video as usual! Cheers.

[@StevetheBartender_]

Cheers TTBG! It has a good level of spice to it... nice tingle on the lips, vibrant blackberry and delicious vanilla notes.. 😍

[@TheTribalBarGuy]

@@StevetheBartender_ Thanks for the additional info. I guess I will need to go to buy jalapeños soon. :@)

Fun fact, we grow tons of berries in Jalisco, you can get lots of blackberries here, high quality and quite cheap when they're in season.

The SMILE😫😭😭IT GETS ME EVERY TIME lmaoo!!!

[@CjExpendable27]

My man came in with the history lesson at the beginning? Good job sir.

[@JT-py9lv]

Most people don’t know that back in 1912, Hellmann’s mayonnaise was manufactured in England. In fact, the Titanic was carrying 12,000 jars of the condiment scheduled for delivery in Vera Cruz, Mexico, which was to be the next port of call for the great ship after its stop in New York.This would have been the largest single shipment of mayonnaise ever delivered to Mexico. But as we know, the great ship did not make it to New York. The ship hit an iceberg and sank, and the cargo was forever lost.The people of Mexico, who were crazy about mayonnaise, and were eagerly awaiting its delivery, were disconsolate at the loss. Their anguish was so great, that they declared a National Day of Mourning, which they still observe to this day.The National Day of Mourning occurs each year on May 5th and is known, of course, as Sinko de Mayo

Now this is a good tequila video. Glad they sponsored you. Salud and saludos from Tejas. Finally a video with more than just the standard tequila margarita. Great Job Steve. Also I prefer Jarritos.

[@StevetheBartender_]

Cheers Plascaso! Jarritos is great but it isn't readily available here... plus I do like supporting locals.. (and CAPI is great too!)...

[@mromero9180]

Saludos desde México. Me gustan mucho tus videos. En México bebemos tequila sin mezclar, lo llamamos "la bandera": 1 shot de tequila, 1 shot de limón y 1 shot de "sangrita". Los shots (caballitos) se beben por separado para apreciar el sabor del agave.

[@angelasims7377]

I made the blackberry, vanilla and jalapeno smash, but I'm not such a spicy girl, so I substituted the jalapeno with a some pepper flakes, and WOWSAH!!!! The perfect spice proportion, smokey vanilla and sweet were perfection in a glass! This can become a regular whenever a blackberry is available. Thanks for this one!

I'm gonna try La Paloma this evening😉. It's still the morning in France. Thank you for sharing good recipes

I love my Aussie bartenders :) Im not a big drinker until this quarantine when my local olive grove delivered some free limes and I made my first Moscow Mule cocktail with bunderberg ginger beer. Now Im stocking up on these goodies and I came here for the hibiscus flowers lol

[@augustobalderas6528]

Great video as always, this guy knows Mexican drinks, indeed “Squirt” and “Jarrito” are the preferred soda for Palomas, I will add “Fresca” as well, Cheers!

[@StevetheBartender_]

We can get Jarrito here but not the other two (that I know of)..

[@thomasharmathy7393]

Capi Mixers are some of my favourites. They make an amazing Tonic and the Grapefruit Soda is always a favourite at Christmas time. Sweet sour and amazingly refreshing just by itself.

[@CeeJayDee94]

Capi is indeed fantastic. StrangeLove is another brand you should check out if you haven’t already!

[@neilm8477]

I like the use of jalapeno its practically unheard of to my friends and family! I use it in the tijuana rocket: jalapeno and red bell pepper muddle, agave syrup, pomegranate molasses, and tequila. Served in a chilled coupe glass

[@allenfinklea9415]

Although this video is a few years old I just came across it. I have to say that the blackberry, vanilla and jalapeno smash is my new favorite cocktail. The heat and spice from the jalapenos work extremely well with the tequila. I build the cocktail as specified in this video, although I include 6 or 7 jalapenos instead of the recommended 4. I also don't strain any of the content, preferring the bits of blackberry and jalapeno in the drink itself. It's fantastic. Thank you, Steve!

[@williamlangrehr4598]

He manages to say jalapeños with the “h” sound but not jarritos with an “h” 😂 idk why that made me laugh

[@StevetheBartender_]

Yeah, I’ve been pulled a few times.. not overly familiar with the Spanish language here in Australia..

[@Mitch_De_Jong]

Steve the Bartender haha all good, and quite understandable. Quick lesson: most of the time in Spanish, the letter “J” is pronounced as an “H”👍🏽 love the videos, and the fact that you respond to some comments!!

Welcome Kevin! I did a little bit of research and learned some interesting facts..

[@vickiestanley2307]

I would like add that Mexican limes are Key Limes which are sweet like some oranges are. Here in the USA we used to enjoy them grown in Florida's hot climate but the crops were frozen one unusual cold front and were lost to us forever. I say this about the limes because it changes the complexity of all recipe's. BTW I love your bartender skills, (former bartender).
